Nasolabial Folds Treatments
Aesthetic Consultation
At Freyja Medical, our aesthetic consultations for nasolabial folds are led by our expert practitioners who tailor personalised treatment plans to address your specific concerns.
We understand that every individual is unique, so we take the time to listen to your needs and goals before recommending the most suitable options.
Whether you’re considering dermal fillers, Sculptra or a thread lift, we’re here to guide you through the process, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your choices.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer an effective solution for reducing nasolabial folds, those lines from the nose to the mouth corners.
By injecting hyaluronic acid or other substances, fillers restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles, providing immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
Trust Freyja Medical for expertly tailored treatments that enhance your facial harmony.
Sculptra
Sculptra is a distinct dermal filler that stimulates collagen production, gradually reducing nasolabial folds.
Unlike traditional fillers, it works by enhancing the body’s natural collagen levels, leading to long-lasting, subtle enhancements.
Our dermatologists at Freyja Medical specialise in Sculptra injections, offering personalised treatments for natural-looking results and a youthful appearance.
Thread Lift
Thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure that effectively targets nasolabial folds by lifting and tightening the skin with dissolvable sutures.
This technique stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture and reducing wrinkles.
At Freyja Medical, our experienced dermatologists specialise in thread lifts for natural-looking rejuvenation of facial appearance.
What causes nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial lines, also referred to as smile lines or laugh lines, are creases that develop around the mouth and nose area.
These lines are a common occurrence as we age, influenced by factors such as:
- Sun Exposure: Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to the formation of wrinkles and lines, including nasolabial folds.
- Smoking: Smoking can negatively impact skin health by reducing blood flow and oxygen delivery to the skin, which can result in premature ageing and the formation of wrinkles, including those around the mouth and nose.
- Repetitive Facial Expressions: Continuously making certain facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning, can cause creases to form in the skin over time, contributing to the development of nasolabial folds.
- Poor Skincare Habits: Inadequate skincare routines, such as failure to moisturise or cleanse the skin regularly, can lead to dehydration and loss of skin elasticity, which may exacerbate the appearance of nasolabial folds.
- Environmental Pollutants: Exposure to pollutants in the environment, such as air pollution and toxins, can accelerate skin aging by generating free radicals, which can damage skin cells and collagen fibers, leading to the formation of wrinkles and lines.
- Genetics: Genetic factors play a significant role in determining an individual’s predisposition to developing nasolabial folds. Some people may inherit genes that make them more susceptible to premature aging and the formation of facial wrinkles.
- Hormonal Changes: Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as those experienced during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause, can affect skin health and contribute to the development of nasolabial folds.
