Description
Nasolabial fillers are designed to soften the appearance of smile lines, also known as nasolabial folds, which run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. The treatment involves injecting a dermal filler, typically made of hyaluronic acid, into the targeted area to restore lost volume, smooth deep folds, and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
How It Works
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers work by attracting and retaining moisture in the skin, adding volume and supporting the skin structure. This effectively reduces the depth of the folds, giving a smoother and more rejuvenated look.
Procedure Time
The treatment is quick, typically taking 20–30 minutes to complete. You’ll notice immediate results, with improvements continuing as the filler settles over the next 1–2 weeks.
Aftercare
- Avoid touching the treated area for at least 6 hours to minimize the risk of infection.
- Refrain from intense exercise, alcohol, and excessive heat (e.g., saunas) for 24–48 hours.
- Mild swelling or bruising is normal and usually subsides within a few days; applying a cold compress can help.
- Stay hydrated and follow any specific advice given by your practitioner.
With minimal downtime, nasolabial fillers are an excellent option for those looking for subtle, natural-looking enhancements to their facial contours.
