Nasolabial folds are creases that are formed from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These are more prominent among people who are aging or those who have a lot of sun exposure. Certain lifestyle choices like smoking also lead to the appearance of nasolabial folds.
HOW ARE NASOLABIAL FOLDS CAUSED?
Nasolabial folds are the result of aging. The bone mass in the face is lost as we age, which leads to fat cells dropping down. Additionally, the lack of elastin and collagen production causes further loss of volume to the face, causing nasolabial folds.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR A NASOLABIAL FOLD FILLER?
Anyone who has visible lines or creases around the mouth and nose can get a nasolabial fold filler to reduce the signs of aging. Generally, people above the age of 40, irrespective of gender, opt for the procedure. However, people above the age of 30 have also realized the benefits of using fillers to slow down the signs of aging significantly.
