Smooth Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Fillers

A youthful face is often defined by smooth skin, balanced contours, and a well-defined jawline. However, as we age, certain facial lines become more noticeable; one of the most prominent being nasolabial folds. These deep creases, running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, can make the face appear older and more tired. Fortunately, modern aesthetic medicine offers a minimally invasive solution: dermal fillers. In this blog, we will take a close look at how dermal fillers in Hyderabad can effectively reduce or erase nasolabial folds, helping restore youthful contours and smoothness to your face. Stay tuned for further information.

Understanding Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are the natural creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Everyone has them, but they become more prominent due to:

Loss of skin elasticity
Fat redistribution
Bone resorption
Sun damage
Genetics and lifestyle factors

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and rejuvenate facial contours. The most commonly used dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and adds plumpness. Some of the common examples of HA-based dermal fillers are as follows:

Juvederm
Restylane
Belotero
Teosyal

Examples of other types of dermal fillers are as follows:

Calcium hydroxylapatite
Poly-L-lactic acid
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

How Do Dermal Fillers Work for Nasolabial Folds?

When injected into the nasolabial area, fillers:

Plump the skin from beneath
Lift and support the overlying tissue
Smooth out creases and shadows
Restore facial volume, especially in the mid-face area if volume loss is a contributing factor.

Here’s what you can expect during the treatment:
