Nasolabial Filler

What is a Nasolabial Filler?

A Nasolabial filler is a medical procedure to treat prominent lines starting from the side of the nose down to the edge of the mouth, commonly known as laugh lines, with fillers containing hyaluronic acid. This substance allows the cells to retain water in the area where it is applied, allowing the tissue to gain form and for the skin to ultimately look more vibrant and younger.

Smile lines become prominent over time with aging and decreased collagen production. As a result of genes or excessive movement in the area, the lines start to appear at an earlier age. This can make a person look older and create an unhappy look. This application allows the removal of prominent nasolabial lines in a very short procedure.

Who Is A Nasolabial Filler Treatment Suitable For?

This treatment is suitable for individuals who have noticed a collapse in the nasolabial area (the laugh line formed between the nose and lips) . It can also be beneficial for individuals who laugh lines are very obvious and if there are wrinkles in the area. Individuals who have dented problems in the cheeks or those who have problems with depth in the nasolabial area can also opt for this procedure. Nasolabial fillers are not recommended for people with chronic diseases.

How Is A Nasolabial Filler Done?

The treatment is considered quite simple with minimal invasion and is completed in a short session. The depth of the nasolabial line, the severity of the wrinkle and the suitability of the patient undergoing the treatment is decided at a consultation. The area to be treated is then sterilized and numbed with an anesthetic cream. The personalized procedure is then applied. Areas such as the nose, inner cheek and lip edges are then injected using a needle or cannula. The injection amount varies according to the patient and the depth of the line. The injection contains Hyaluronic acid, an acid that is naturally produced by the skin and protects the moisture balance of the skin. 

When there is a deficiency, wrinkles start to form – a nasolabial filler fulfills the deficiency and provides instant results. The two-stage application of the procedure is very important for a more natural and healthy appearance. Patients will notice deep laugh lines fade after the application. Repetition of the treatment will help maintain the appearance. 

Recovery Process After A Nasolabial Filler

A Nasolabial filler is a fairly painless procedure. In some cases, after the procedure, there may be redness and bruising on the skin. In cases where there is redness, bruising, rash, irritation or swelling, the physician can be consulted to speed up the recovery.
