Nasolabial folds treatment - M1 Med Beauty
Nasolabial Folds (also known as laugh lines or smile lines) are common lines that form between the corners of the mouth and the nose due to lost volume and reduced production of collagen. These folds can be treated with fillers. All of our fillers use high-quality products from manufactures like Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Belotero® and Yvoire®. Nasolabial Fold fillers start at £149 for 1ml depending on the product used.
Our mouth is particularly susceptible to the development of wrinkles, as it contains numerous muscles that are essential for our facial expressions. As we age, our skin naturally sags and becomes less elastic as collagen production reduces in the cheeks. This causes deep folds to form.
A procedure with fillers is a very low-risk and non-invasive option to restore lost volume in the skin and get rid of wrinkles such as laugh lines. During the procedure, our M1 doctors will inject the fillers from renowned manufacturers like Juvederm® into the cheek area to smooth and get rid of smile lines. The procedure takes about 20 minutes and the effects can last up to 6 months, after this period, the product will dissolve into the body.
While injectable fillers are generally not painful, our filler products contain lidocaine that numbs the area to help with any slight discomfort. If you are very worried about pain, patients can also opt to have a numbing cream applied to the injection areas to ensure a pain-free experience. Laugh lines (lines between the nose and the mouth) are often treated alongside other eras of the face that are affected by lost volume including tear troughs (under-eyes) and marionette lines (facial wrinkles from the mouth along the chin).
It is important that injectable hyaluronic acid fillers are administered precisely to ensure the best results. This means that fillers should be carried out by qualified doctors.
Frequently asked questions on Nasolabial folds
Nasolabial Folds, commonly referred to smile lines or laugh lines, are creases in the skin that form between the side of the nose and the mouth. As we age, production of collagen in our skin slows down and our skin loses its elasticity. These lines form due to natural facial movements such as when we smile or laugh. Loss of volume in the cheeks also contributes to the deepening of nasolabial folds.
Our skin is permanently stressed by our facial movements, like when we smile, which inevitably create deeper wrinkles on the face when combined with natural sagging in the cheeks. With a dermal filler procedure, volume loss can be counteracted in the area. This works to smooth wrinkles and regaining your skin’s fresh and youthful appearance.
After a free consultation with one of our Doctors, a specific amount of dermal filler is injected into folds in the face such as laugh lines to create lift and volume. Book your consultation with our one of our doctors in London or Liverpool today.
Unlike plastic surgery, cosmetic procedures with dermal filler can help smoothen and improve the appearance of nose-to-mouth folds in the skin without much pain. Most dermal filler products contain local anaesthetic that will help with any minor discomfort.
Deep-set folds in the skin like smile lines can be treated in both of our UK clinics, in both London City, London-Shepherd’s Bush, Glasgow and Liverpool.
Following dermal filler procedures, there may be some redness or bruising on the skin around areas of the face that were treated. These minor side effects will fade after a 2-3 days. However, the procedure do not require any significant recovery time.
Fillers are made up of a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid. This substance will naturally dissolve into the body over time.
