Nasolabial folds, often referred to as “smile lines” or “laughter lines,” are the natural creases that run from the sides of the nose down towards the corners of the mouth. While these folds are completely normal, they can sometimes appear deeper with age, weight changes, or loss of skin elasticity. Many people feel that prominent nasolabial folds make them look tired, sad, or older than they feel, which is why treatment in this area has become increasingly popular at Pangbourne Aesthetics.
A nasolabial fold treatment usually involves the use of dermal fillers to soften the appearance of these lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed look. Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps to maintain hydration and volume in the skin. By carefully placing filler in precise areas, we can gently lift and smooth the fold, reducing its depth without creating an unnatural or overfilled appearance.
The treatment is tailored to each individual and the procedure is relatively quick, often taking under 1 hour and involves minimal downtime. You may experience slight swelling or redness at the injection sites, but this usually settles within a few days. The results are visible almost immediately and can last between 9–18 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors such as skin type and lifestyle.
Our aim with nasolabial fold treatment is always to achieve a natural, balanced result. Rather than erasing lines completely, we soften them to help you look refreshed, rejuvenated, and more confident while still looking like yourself.
