Transforming Smiles: Effective Solutions for Nose to Mouth Lines

Combat the signs of aging with effective solutions for nasolabial folds.

Understanding Nose to Mouth Lines: Causes and Characteristics

Nose to mouth lines, also known as nasolabial folds, are natural skin folds that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. While they are a normal part of human anatomy, these lines can become more prominent as we age, contributing to a more aged appearance.

Why They Appear:

Ageing Skin: With age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, leading to reduced firmness and elasticity. This natural part of the ageing process causes the fat pads cheeks to descend, making nasolabial folds more noticeable.
Facial Expressions: Frequently making certain facial expressions can deepen these lines over time. They are often referred to as smile or laugh lines due to their prominence when smiling.
Genetics and Lifestyle: Genetic factors will determine to a large degree how these lines develop. Some people may experience lines located on either side of the nose down to the mouth early on in life, but these will become more prominent with age. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as sun exposure, smoking and physical activity can accelerate their appearance.

Characteristics of Nasolabial Folds:

Depth and Visibility: These lines vary in depth and visibility from person to person. In some individuals, they may appear as fine lines, while in others, they can develop into deeper folds.
Impact on Facial Aesthetics: Prominent nasolabial folds can change the overall appearance of the face, sometimes leading to a more tired, saggy more aged look.

Understanding these factors is crucial in selecting the most suitable treatment options to address nasolabial folds effectively. Our clinic offers a range of treatments tailored to reduce the appearance of these lines, helping restore a more youthful and refreshed facial appearance.

The Role of Dermal Fillers in Treating Nasolabial Folds

Dermal fillers have emerged as one of the most popular and effective treatments for softening the appearance of nasolabial folds. These injectable treatments offer a non-invasive solution to plump and smooth out these lines, resulting in a more youthful facial contour. For general loss of volume, dermal fillers offer the safest and simplest option.

How Dermal Fillers Work:

Volume Restoration: Dermal fillers, especially those based on hyaluronic acid, are injected beneath the skin’s surface. They work by replenishing lost volume and providing immediate plumping effects to the treated area.
Collagen Stimulation: Many modern fillers not only fill the lines but also stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, offering long-term benefits to skin elasticity and firmness.
Customisation: The amount and type of filler used can be tailored to each individual’s facial structure and the severity of their nasolabial folds, ensuring natural-looking results. We will often suggest that you consider adding volume to the midface area as a part of nose-to-mouth line treatment.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Nasolabial Folds:

Immediate Results: Patients see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their nose to mouth lines immediately after the treatment, this continues to improve over the weeks that follow treatment.
Minimal Downtime: Unlike surgical options, dermal filler treatments require little to no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities quickly.
Natural-Looking Enhancement: When administered by skilled practitioners, dermal fillers can provide a natural enhancement, subtly reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds without altering the overall expression of the face.
Maintenance Treatments:
- Routine Dermal Filler Touch-Ups: Periodic maintenance treatments with dermal fillers can help sustain the volume and smoothness in the nasolabial area.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Regular appointments with your skincare specialist can help monitor the effectiveness of treatments and adjust as needed.

At our clinic, we use the highest quality hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which are known for their safety and efficacy. These premium-grade dermal fillers will last around 12-18 months. Our experienced practitioners take great care in injecting the perfect amount of the most suitable product to achieve a harmonious and youthful appearance, focusing on enhancing the natural appearance of each patient.

Combination Treatments: Enhancing Results for Nasolabial Lines

For those seeking a more comprehensive approach to treating nasolabial folds, combination treatments can offer enhanced results. By integrating multiple modalities, we can address various aspects of facial ageing that contribute to the appearance of these lines.

Combining Dermal Fillers with Botox:

Dermal Fillers: As discussed, fillers add volume and smooth out the deep creases of the nasolabial folds. They are particularly effective in restoring lost volume and plumping the area.
Botox: When used alongside fillers, Botox can relax the facial muscles. This can help with the upper lip and mouth. This relaxation can help in reducing the dynamic lines formed during facial expressions.

Benefits of Combination Treatments:

Comprehensive Rejuvenation: This approach addresses both the static lines caused by volume loss and the dynamic wrinkles formed by muscle movement, leading to a more holistic rejuvenation. For most people, a combination or multi-treatment approach will give the best results for anti-ageing.
Tailored to Individual Needs: The treatment can be customized based on the individual’s specific concerns, skin type, and desired outcome.
Longer Lasting Results: The combined effects of fillers and Botox can extend the longevity of the treatment results in addition to increasing the synergy of the face and enhancing the overall look.

Other Complementary Treatments:

Skincare Regimen: Incorporating a targeted medical skincare regimen with products designed to boost collagen production and hydrate the skin can complement in-clinic treatments. Keeping the quality and integrity of the skin itself will help to support any in-clinic treatments and will increase luminosity and radiance, diminishing the fine lines and sogginess of superficial skin.

At LPA, we assess each patient’s unique facial structure and skin condition to recommend the most effective combination of treatments. Our goal is to achieve natural-looking results that not only enhance your appearance but also improve the overall health of your skin.

Non-Invasive Alternatives to Fillers for Nasolabial Lines

While dermal fillers are the gold standard for treating nasolabial folds effectively with visible results, some individuals may seek less invasive alternatives. These options can be particularly appealing for those who prefer a more gradual and subtle approach to facial rejuvenation.

Profhilo injections:

Improving skin laxity: Whilst Profhilo is similar to dermal filler in that it is Hyaluronic Acid, it is injected much more superficially and will not add volume to the face, making it a good choice for those who prefer a more ‘natural’ approach.
Treatment: Treatment with Profhilo involves injecting 5 points on either side of the face, providing a moisture surge and stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Skincare Regimen for Enhanced Collagen Production:

Collagen-Boosting Products: Using a skin supplement that promotes collagen production can improve skin elasticity and firmness, helping to diminish the appearance of nasolabial lines. At LPA, we recommend Totally Derma as it is backed up by clinical trial evidence for its benefits not only on the skin but also on joints and other health improvements.
Skin regime: Regular use of retinol and sunscreens can protect the skin from environmental factors that accelerate ageing and deepen nasolabial folds.

Lifestyle Modifications:

Sun Protection: Protecting the skin from sun damage is crucial in preventing premature ageing and the deepening of nasolabial folds. We recommend that you apply sun protection every single day regardless of the weather.
Healthy Diet: A diet rich in antioxidants can support skin health, potentially reducing the signs of ageing.
Hydration: Adequate water intake is essential for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity.

Alternative Treatments:

PDO Thread lift: PDO threads can be used to lift out deep lines and wrinkles. These dissolvable threads work by creating lift in the skin and also by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin.

At our clinic, we understand that each patient has unique preferences and needs. We offer a range of non-invasive alternatives and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your comfort level and aesthetic goals.
