Is there anything I need to do after my nasolabial fold filler treatment?

After your session, your doctor will advise you on post-treatment care to ensure optimal healing and results. You should avoid direct sun exposure, alcohol consumption, very hot temperatures such as saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Avoid picking, rubbing, or massaging the treated area, and minimise movement of the area. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your clinic immediately for professional advice.

Q: Are there any side effects of nasolabial fold fillers I should be aware of?

Fillers are generally considered a safe and effective treatment. Any side effects are typically minor and temporary. After treatment, some patients may experience mild bruising, redness, swelling, or lumpiness at the injection site. These effects are normal and usually resolve on their own within a few days. If you have any concerns, your practitioner will provide advice on how to manage these symptoms.

Q: Am I a suitable candidate for nasolabial fold fillers?

Nasolabial fold fillers are an effective non-invasive option for reducing laugh lines and creases caused by ageing. Before treatment, a medical expert will assess your skin to ensure fillers are appropriate for your needs. In some cases, additional treatments may be recommended, such as for severe skin laxity. At Medical Aesthetics 360°, we take a personalised approach to every patient, so you can be sure of a customised treatment plan that’s carefully tailored to your needs and delivers optimal results. Fillers may not be the best option for you if you’re under 18 years of age, have underlying health conditions, are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of nerve or bleeding disorders, or have a skin disorder. It’s also important to be realistic about the results that can be achieved. Our highly trained medical staff will discuss the kind of results you can expect based on your skin condition.

Q: When will I see the results of my nasolabial fold filler treatment?

Results from nasolabial fold fillers are typically visible immediately after treatment. You will notice an instant improvement in volume and a reduction in lines and creases. Some mild swelling or redness may occur, but these effects usually subside within a few days, revealing the full result. Dermal filler results can last anywhere from 9 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and how your body metabolises it. Since the effects are temporary, you may need top-up treatments as signs of ageing reappear to maintain the best results.

Q: Are nasolabial fold fillers painful?

For most patients, fillers cause slight discomfort rather than pain. You may feel a small pinching sensation during the injection, followed by mild stinging as the filler is applied. To minimise discomfort, a numbing cream may be used, and very fine needles ensure reduced sensation during the procedure. Post-treatment discomfort can be managed with ice packs or over-the-counter pain relief. If you have concerns or feel anxious about your treatment, your practitioner can help you feel confident and comfortable.

Q: How much do nasolabial fold fillers cost in Sydney?

Nasolabial fold (smile line) treatemtns: What you need to know

As we age, nasolabial folds—often called laugh or smile lines—become more pronounced, giving the face a noticeably older appearance. External factors such as prolonged sun exposure, smoking, and weight loss can accelerate the development of these lines, making the skin look less youthful.

Volumising agents provide a non-surgical solution to smooth out these folds. By using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, these agents restore lost volume, hydrate the skin, and promote firmness, effectively softening creases and delivering a refreshed, younger-looking appearance. Results are immediate, with minimal downtime.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

Q) How do nasolabial fold volumising agents work?

Nasolabial folds, or laugh lines, develop due to a loss of volume in the skin, causing sagging in the surrounding tissue. Nasolabial fold volumising agents work by injecting a gel-like substance, typically hyaluronic acid, into the skin to restore lost volume and smooth out deep lines and creases between the nose and mouth.

The hyaluronic acid in the agent attracts moisture to the area, which helps plump the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. This creates a more youthful, refreshed look by filling in the folds and providing a lifting effect. The treatment is minimally invasive and offers immediate, natural-looking results.
