Nasolabial folds, often called smile lines or laugh lines, are creases extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. As we age, these folds can deepen, leading to the appearance of ingrained wrinkles. Additionally, the natural ageing process can cause the jawline to lose its sculpted appearance, resulting in sagging jowls, and the development of a double chin may become more noticeable.
Traditional Treatment Methods vs. Modern Solutions:
In the past, surgical facelifts were the primary option for addressing nasolabial folds. However, traditional facelift surgery mainly focuses on the lower face and neck, providing limited improvement to the mid-face area where naso labial folds occur. Furthermore, surgical facelifts do not address the underlying cause of the folds, which is the loss of collagen and skin integrity.
Fortunately, advancements in aesthetic medicine have led to non-surgical alternatives for treating naso labial folds. Dermal fillers like Revanesse®, Juvederm and Restylane, along with energy-based devices that stimulate collagen production, offer effective solutions for addressing these ageing signs. These treatments can be initiated as early as the twenties when the skin has greater rejuvenation capabilities.
