NASOLABIAL LINES
The nasolabial folds (smile lines) are the deep wrinkles or lines that run from either side of your nose downwards to the corner of your mouth. The severity of the smile lines varies from patient to and can cause dissatisfaction.
​
Smile lines can become more noticeable as we age, with fat being lost from the cheeks, skin volume reduced and the fold appearing deeper. Dermal fillers can help restore the volume loss within this area and rejuvenate the appearance and skin texture showcasing a fresher, smoother, and more natural result.
The nasolabial lines treatment is a very quick and straightforward procedure. Filler injections involve the precise, controlled administration of hyaluronic acid solution into the affected area. Restoring loss of volume and softening deep creases, your prescribed quantity of filler gel will ease the unwanted appearance of smile lines. The result is a fresher and younger look.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
HOW MUCH FILLER WOULD I NEED IN THIS AREA?
​
This entirely depends on the depth of your lines and the results you’re looking for. In some cases, several tiny doses of filler will be all that is needed to refresh the area, while in other cases, you may need a little more. Nurse Cherise is an expert in her field and will be able to explain how much filler would give the best results.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS TREATMENT?
​
Some side effects could include discomfort at the injection sites, and some light bruising. You may also notice a few lumps in your skin. These are normal after treatment and should settle within days, with bruising only usually lasting around 4 – 7 days.
WHAT MAY AFFECT MY SUITABILITY TO TREAT NASOLABIAL LINES?
​
Nurse Cherise will carry out a full medical history prior to nasolabial line filler treatment. However, if you have any bleeding disorders, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or are allergic to any of the compounds used in fillers, you may not be suitable for treatment. If you are on blood-thinning medication, you should consult with your doctor regarding your options for treatment or seek advice from Nurse Cherise in the first instance.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
​
Results can be seen immediately although you should see optimum results after just a few weeks once the filler has integrated and settled into your tissue.
Effects should last for an average of 9-12 months with this non-permanent treatment.
