What are nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial folds, also known as smile or laugh lines, are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to either side of the mouth. With age, skin loses collagen and becomes thinner resulting in more prominent and deeper folds. Different factors contribute to the appearance of these folds such as genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and weight fluctuations.
How do you improve the appearance of nasolabial folds?
Skin tightening
Skin tightening devices such as Potenza, OligioX, or Ultherapy use different modalities to cause microdamage to different layers of the skin to trigger the healing process, stimulating collagen growth for thicker and tighter skin.
OligioX
Oligio X uses Monopolar Radiofrequency (RF) to rework the dermis, building new collagen over time, and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
Potenza
Potenza combines both the delivery of needles and radiofrequency to remodel the dermal layer of the skin, enhancing skin tightening.
Ultherapy
Using ultrasound technology, Ultherapy targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen production to give a lifted and firmer appearance.
Poly-Lactic Acid
Products such as Juvelook or Sculptra are biostimulators that restore volume and stimulate collagen formation. This can enhance facial rejuvenation especially in areas of volume loss such as the nasolabial folds.
Dermal Fillers
Popular fillers made with hyaluronic acid can be used to immediately add volume and fullness to deep wrinkles and lines. Results can last 6 months to 1 year.
