Nasolabial Folds

This patient came in to address concerns about her nasolabial folds (the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) and superficial smile lines. To restore volume and soften these creases, dermal fillers were carefully injected into both areas. For the nasolabial folds, a denser hyaluronic acid filler was used to fill in the deeper lines and provide structural support, giving the face a more youthful appearance. For the superficial smile lines, a thinner hyaluronic acid filler was used to subtly smooth out the skin without overfilling. The result? A refreshed, natural look where the patient’s facial expressions remain dynamic and genuine, but those pesky lines are far less noticeable. Plus, with minimal downtime, she’s ready to show off her smile in no time!

Before and after nasolabial fold filler on this patient in her 30s. Using injections of dermal filler deep lines are smoothed out, revealing a refreshed and youthful appearance.

This young patient was bothered by her nasolabial folds, and Nurse Practitioner Presile addressed this with filler injections. She used a very conservative amount of filler to ensure the patient's lower face retained a natural appearance.

In this before-and-after, you can see how softening the nasolabial folds — the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth — can make a subtle yet impactful difference. With carefully placed dermal filler, we restored volume and smoothed the area without adding heaviness, helping the face appear more balanced and refreshed. The goal isn’t to erase expression, but to support natural facial structure and soften deep creases in a way that looks effortless and age-appropriate.

Stefanie administered dermal filler injections to address this patient's nasolabial folds and smoker's lines, resulting in a refreshed appearance of her lower face.

This patient came to us with pronounced nasolabial folds that had deepened over time due to volume loss and natural facial movement. Using strategically placed dermal filler, we were able to soften the folds and restore smoother contours around the midface. The difference is significant — yet still natural. By supporting the underlying structure rather than overfilling the lines, we achieved a refreshed, more youthful look while preserving the character and expression in her face.

To make this patient's face instantly refreshed, Stephanie used Hyaluronic Acid filler to soften her nasolabial folds and add some volume to her tear troughs.

In this transformation, filler was used to address volume loss and soften the appearance of deep nasolabial folds. These folds often become more prominent with age as the midface loses support. By carefully restoring volume and subtly lifting the surrounding tissue, we achieved a smoother, more balanced look without altering the patient’s natural expression. The result is a refreshed appearance that still looks like her — just well-rested and more vibrant.

This patient came in with early signs of volume loss in the nasolabial area, which can start to appear even in our 20s and 30s due to facial structure, genetics, or lifestyle factors. With a small amount of filler, we gently softened the lines without adding bulk or changing her natural contours. The result is subtle and preventative — enhancing smoothness while maintaining a fresh, youthful appearance. This kind of treatment is perfect for patients who want to stay ahead of deeper lines forming over time.

In this transformation, our patient wanted to address the deepening folds around her mouth and the overall volume loss that was making her lower face appear heavier and more tired than she felt. With precise filler placement in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines, we were able to soften the creases and restore subtle structure to the mid and lower face. The result is a smoother, more balanced appearance that maintains her natural expression while enhancing facial harmony. She looks refreshed — not altered — and most importantly, she feels like herself again.

In this subtle enhancement, we treated the patient’s nasolabial folds — also known as smile lines — which were beginning to show as fine creases due to natural facial movement and early volume loss. With a conservative amount of dermal filler, we softened the lines without altering her expression or overfilling the area. The result is a smoother, more refreshed look that preserves her natural smile while preventing those fine lines from deepening over time. It’s a perfect example of how small, early interventions can maintain a youthful appearance with minimal product.

This patient was looking to address signs of aging in the lower face, particularly the deepening of her marionette lines and nasolabial folds, which were creating a more tired and heavy appearance. By placing filler in these key areas, we were able to restore volume, soften the folds, and subtly lift the corners of the mouth. The result is a smoother, more balanced lower face and a refreshed look that still feels natural. Her features remain completely her own — just a little more rested and supported.

This patient received a combination of cheek, under-eye, and nasolabial fold filler to restore midface volume, smooth facial contours, and brighten the overall appearance. By supporting the cheeks first, we were able to naturally lift and reduce the depth of the nasolabial folds, requiring less filler directly in the lines. Under-eye filler helped soften hollowing and reduce shadows, giving her a more rested, refreshed look. The result is a subtle yet impactful transformation that enhances facial harmony while keeping everything looking natural and balanced.

Smile lines, or nasolabial folds, are a completely natural part of facial expression — but over time, even subtle creases can become more noticeable due to early volume loss and skin elasticity changes. In this treatment, a small amount of dermal filler was used to gently smooth the superficial lines while maintaining the patient’s natural movement and facial expressions. The goal wasn’t to erase the smile, but to soften the creases so the face appears refreshed, not altered. This approach is ideal for those noticing the first signs of aging and looking to prevent deeper folds from forming.

With age, the natural loss of collagen, fat, and structural support in the midface can cause the nasolabial folds to deepen and become more pronounced. In this case, we used dermal filler to restore volume along the folds and support the surrounding tissue, resulting in a smoother, more lifted appearance. The treatment was carefully tailored to soften the creases without adding heaviness or compromising natural expression. For patients with deeper folds, this kind of filler treatment can significantly improve facial balance and create a more refreshed, youthful look.

In younger patients, nasolabial folds often appear as subtle creases caused by natural facial movement, early volume shifts, or genetics. In this case, a small amount of dermal filler was used to gently smooth the area and enhance midface support without changing the patient’s natural contours. The result is soft, barely-there correction that maintains facial expression while preventing the lines from deepening over time. It’s a proactive, preventative approach that helps preserve youthful balance and skin texture.
