Nasal Folds

Nasal Folds

Nasal folds (nose-to-mouth lines) are one of the biggest giveaway signs of ageing. Still, fortunately, there is a minimally invasive answer to smoothening these lines to reveal younger-looking skin – dermal fillers.

What are nasal folds?

Nose-to-mouth lines, also known as nasal folds, are the vertical lines that appear on either side of the nose, down towards the mouth. Natural facial movements cause them to become more prominent over time, as well as the decline in collagen and elastin supplies in your skin. Weight loss can also contribute to their evolution.

We can reintroduce hyaluronic acid with dermal fillers into the skin, which will plump and hydrate the area. This subtle effect works wonders for improving your skin’s vitality and youthful qualities, giving you a refreshed look and a big dose of confidence.

What can you expect from the nasal fold treatment?

• A full consultation to discuss your treatment goals and assess your suitability for treatment (pregnant and breastfeeding women are not suitable for fillers). We will go through the treatment process with you and provide full transparency on fees, a technique used to administer the filler and possible side effects.
• Treatment planning to assess how much filler is needed to fill the creases created by nose-to-mouth lines.
• Administer the filler (a topical numbing cream is applied to numb the treatment sites).
• Aftercare advice before you leave the clinic. Aftercare includes adequate hydration, as dehydration causes the filler to break down faster.
