Nasolabial Filler

1) What is Nasolabial Filler?

Nasolabial fillers are a targeted, non-surgical treatment designed to soften and reduce the appearance of the deep creases that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth - commonly known as smile lines or nasolabial folds. Using a hyaluronic acid-based gel, we restore lost volume in this area, providing a smoother, more youthful contour.

What Results Can You Expect From Nasolabial Filler?
You can expect a significant, visible reduction in the depth of your nasolabial folds. Clinical studies show that most patients achieve at least a one-grade improvement in wrinkle severity, with many experiencing complete smoothing of the area. The result is a refreshed, rested appearance that softens the signs of ageing without altering your natural expressions. Studies have shown significant wrinkle reduction, with over 80% of patients having no wrinkles after one year.

How Does Nasolabial Filler Treatment Work?
A small amount of hyaluronic acid filler is expertly injected along the nasolabial fold using a fine needle or cannula. The filler immediately adds volume beneath the skin, lifting and smoothing the crease. Hyaluronic acid also attracts and binds water molecules, providing ongoing hydration and a plumping effect that enhances the longevity of the results.

How Long is a Nasolabial Filler Treatment?
The procedure is quick and convenient, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes.

How Long Do Nasolabial Filler Results Last For?
Results are visible immediately and continue to improve as the filler settles. The longevity of nasolabial filler typically ranges from 6 to 12 months. Some newer formulations have been shown to last for up to 1 year. Individual results depend on the product used, your metabolism, and the amount injected.

2) Who Can Benefit From Nasolabial Filler?

Nasolabial filler is ideal for anyone who feels that their smile lines make them look older, tired, or more severe than they feel. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who:

• Have deep or prominent nasolabial folds
• Are beginning to notice sagging in the midface area
• Want a non-surgical solution to soften the signs of ageing
• Desire a more refreshed and rested appearance
• Have lost volume in the cheeks, which can exacerbate the appearance of nasolabial folds

4) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is nasolabial filler treatment painful?
The filler contains a local anaesthetic (lidocaine) to ensure your comfort. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure.

Are there any side effects from nasolabial filler?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These are typically mild and subside within a few days.

How soon will I see nasolabial filler results?
The results are visible immediately. The final results will become more apparent as any swelling subsides, usually within 1 to 2 weeks.

Can I combine nasolabial filler with other treatments?
Yes, nasolabial filler is often combined with cheek filler or skin boosters for a comprehensive midface rejuvenation approach. Cheek filler can provide additional lift, further softening the nasolabial folds.
