Nasolabial Fold?
How to Treat It?

Overview

The nasolabial fold, also known as marionette lines or nasolabial folds, are those deep lines that form between the nose and the corners of the mouth. This condition is common over time, as the skin loses collagen and elasticity. At our Aesthetic Center, we offer different treatments to improve and smooth the nasolabial fold, returning a more youthful appearance to the face.

Why do I have nasolabial folds and how can they be eliminated?

• Aging: Over the years, the skin loses firmness and elasticity, leading to the appearance of folds. Treatments like hyaluronic acid fillers are very effective for filling deep lines and restoring lost volume.
• Genetic factors: Some people have a genetic predisposition to develop more marked nasolabial folds. In these cases, treatments like Radiesse can be ideal for stimulating collagen production and improving overall appearance.
• Weight loss: Significant weight changes can also deepen these folds, and botox combined with dermal fillers can help smooth the affected area.

What type of treatments exist to improve the nasolabial fold?

At our Aesthetic Center, we offer a variety of treatments to reduce the nasolabial fold and restore a youthful and harmonious appearance. Among the most recommended are:

• Hyaluronic acid fillers: One of the most effective treatments with immediate results to fill folds and smooth deep lines.
• Sculptra: Stimulates natural collagen production, helping to improve the appearance of the nasolabial fold in the long term.
• Radiesse: In addition to restoring volume, Radiesse acts as a collagen stimulator, allowing for improved skin quality.
• Radiofrequency with Accent Prime: Ideal for improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of deep folds.

Do nasolabial folds worsen over time?

Yes, without treatment, nasolabial folds tend to deepen over time due to the continued loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin. To prevent the folds from becoming more noticeable, early treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers or Sculptra is recommended to maintain skin firmness and avoid its progression.

What types of nasolabial folds are there?

• Superficial nasolabial folds: These fine lines are noticeable when smiling or making facial gestures, but are not deeply marked.
• Deep nasolabial folds: These are the most pronounced folds and are present even at rest. These are the ones that most often require treatment with fillers or Radiesse.

What results can I expect with the treatments offered?

Treatments for the nasolabial fold provide visible results almost immediately in many cases, especially with the use of hyaluronic acid fillers. Skin volume and smoothness are restored, providing a fresher and more youthful appearance. Other treatments like Sculptra or Radiesse offer more gradual results, but with longer-lasting effects. At our Aesthetic Center, we work with each patient to personalize their treatment and achieve the best results.
