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.
Dermal fillers provide a non-surgical solution to smooth out these folds. By using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, these fillers 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.
Our team of qualified medical doctors has extensive experience in cosmetic injectables, ensuring that each treatment is tailored to your unique aesthetic goals for natural results.
Here’s what to expect at your nasolabial fold filler treatment at our Sydney clinic:
1. Personalised Assessment:Your doctor will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and cleanse the area. A numbing agent may be applied for comfort.
2. Precise Injections: Filler will be injected gradually into the nasolabial folds to restore volume and smooth lines.
3. Quick and Convenient: The session typically lasts 30 minutes, with minimal downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately.
Your treatment will be carefully monitored to ensure natural results, and adjustments can be made if needed using a dissolving enzyme.
Nasolabial fold fillers are an effective non-surgical solution for reducing the appearance of laugh lines and creases that can make the face look older. This treatment offers several key benefits, including:
- Restoring volume to the skin by promoting collagen production
- Smoothing and filling nasolabial folds for a more youthful appearance
- Reducing creases and wrinkles in a natural, subtle way
- Minimising downtime and providing an affordable alternative to surgery, with long-lasting yet reversible results.
This procedure allows for a refreshed look without significant recovery time or risk.
Nasolabial Fold Fillers: Frequently Asked Questions
Nasolabial folds, or laugh lines, develop due to a loss of volume in the skin, causing sagging in the surrounding tissue. Nasolabial fold fillers 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 filler 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.
While the majority of patients are very pleased with their results, we understand that some clients will have concerns about what happens if they’re not entirely happy.
One of the advantages of dermal fillers is the fact that we can reverse the results. If you’re not happy with your nasolabial fold filler results, the good news is that they can be reversed. A special enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the filler and return the treated area to its original appearance. Additionally, it’s important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary and will naturally wear off over time. If you have concerns, your practitioner will discuss your options and help you feel confident with your treatment.
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.
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
- You have underlying health conditions
- You’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have a history of nerve or bleeding disorders
- You have a skin disorder
Finally, it’s important to be realistic about the results that can be achieved from your nasolabial fold fillers. Our highly-trained medical staff will be happy to chat to you about the kind of results you can expect, based on your particular skin condition.
Results from nasolabial fold fillers are typically visible immediately after the treatment. You will notice an instant improvement in volume and a reduction in the appearance of 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.
After your session, your doctor will talk you through anything you need to be aware of in order to avoid issues and keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
There are a few things you should be mindful of after your session, such as:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure
- Not drinking alcohol
- Avoiding exposure to very hot temperatures, e.g. sauna
- Not engaging in strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Taking care not to pick, rub or massage the treated area
- Minimising movement of the treated area
If you notice any unusual symptoms, be sure to contact us immediately so our medical experts can advise you on what to do.
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 nasolabial fold filler treatment, our team is available to discuss the process and help you feel confident and comfortable.
Our personalised service ensures that every treatment plan is tailored to suit your individual needs, skin concerns, and desired results, meaning pricing will vary for each patient. During your initial consultation, one of our experienced doctors will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and develop a customised treatment plan. This plan will include a detailed breakdown of costs, timeframes, and what to expect, so you have full clarity before moving forward with your treatment.
