Are Nasolabial Folds Making You Look Older Than You Feel?

Nasolabial folds, commonly known as smile lines or laugh lines, are the deep wrinkles that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. While they are a natural result of facial expressions and aging, pronounced nasolabial folds can make you appear older or tired. At Monaz Clinic, we specialise in using premium dermal fillers like Juvederm®, Restylane®, and Teosyal® to soften these lines and restore youthful facial contours.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin. They work by:

  • Adding Volume: Restoring lost volume to smooth deep lines and folds.
  • Hydrating Skin: Attracting moisture to improve skin elasticity.
  • Enhancing Facial Contours: Providing subtle lift for a more youthful appearance.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections (e.g., BOTOX®):

  • Function: Relax muscles to prevent dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
  • Not Typically Used For: Nasolabial folds, as these lines are primarily due to volume loss rather than muscle activity.

Dermal Fillers:

  • Function: Fill in deep folds by adding volume beneath the skin.
  • Ideal For: Softening nasolabial folds and restoring youthful contours.
  • Duration: Results last 6 to 18 months.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

  • Nasolabial Folds: Best treated with dermal fillers to replenish lost volume and smooth deep lines.
  • Combination Approach: In some cases, combining dermal fillers with other treatments can enhance overall facial rejuvenation.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial anatomy and recommend the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.
