Nasolabial fold fillers are a type of dermal filler treatment used to specifically target nasolabial folds and wrinkles. These fillers contain hyaluronic acid which helps reduce fine lines, firm the skin, and hydrate. The specialists at InShape Medical currently use Juvederm and restylane dermal fillers. During your first consultation, your specialist will help assess your unique needs and recommend what filler may be best for your nasolabial folds.

You may be wondering what actually causes nasolabial folds to develop? There are actually a few key factors that contribute to the development of nasolabial folds:

1. Aging

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging that often occurs in the nasolabial region of the face. As you age your collagen production dramatically decreases leaving the skin to lose elasticity and firmness. This lack of collagen can make your cheeks flatten out and droop downwards.

2. Sun

Soaking up the sun’s UV rays can, unfortunately, cause damage to the skin’s collagen and elastin. This can speed up the process of aging and create wrinkles, fine lines, droopy skin, and nasolabial folds.

3. Smoking

Studies have proven that nicotine can also reduce collagen and skin elasticity. It does so by narrowing blood vessels and significantly reducing oxygen levels. This can make it much more difficult for your skin to absorb the nutrients it needs in order to remain soft and youthful.

Other contributing factors include dramatic weight loss and/or gain, sleep deprivation, and harsh skincare products.

Dermal fillers will noticeably diminish and soften the appearance of nasolabial folds. Other benefits of using filler for nasolabial folds include:

• Increases collagen
• Lifts the skin
• Soften and smoothens the skin
• Increases volume around the cheeks and mouth
• Minimally invasive treatment
• Extremely quick recovery time
• Immediate results
• Long-lasting results
• Overall enhanced appearance
• Improved confidence!
