NASOLABIAL LINES
Soften deep creases & restore volume
NASOLABIAL LINES
Nose to mouth lines (also known as nasolabial folds) run from the side of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. They appear as we get older, as a result of the loosening of the skin in the cheeks and general loss of volume in our faces.
As we age, these lines can become very deep and noticeable and give the face a tired, sad, or sagging expression. This area can distort the balance of the midface and change the relationship and balance between the lower and upper face.
Dermal fillers target nasolabial lines, which have occurred naturally over time due to the various facial expressions we make each and every day. The deeper these lines appear on the face, the more noticeable they are altering our look.

CAUSES OF NASOLABIAL FOLDS:
Nasolabial folds become more noticeable due to a variety of factors, including:
-
Aging
-
sun exposure
-
loss of fat, which can make the cheeks and nearby regions appear saggy
-
smoking
-
exposure to environmental pollutants
-
rapid weight loss or frequent fluctuations in weight
The great news is that you do not have to live with even the finest lines, thanks to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
