Nasolabial Folds Treatment and Prevention


Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines or laugh lines, are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are a natural sign of aging, but can also be caused or exacerbated by factors such as sun damage, smoking, and genetics.

What are Nasolabial Folds?


Nasolabial folds are a common sign of aging. They are caused by a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, proteins which are responsible for keeping the skin firm and elastic.


As we age, our bodies produce less of them which leads to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds.


Nasolabial Folds Prevention

These folds are naturally occurring with age, so complete prevention isn’t possible. But there are some ways that you can help minimize their appearance as you age.


Don’t smoke

Smoking can accelerate the aging process and contribute to the formation of wrinkles and folds, including nasolabial folds. Quitting smoking can help to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin.


Stay hydrated

Drinking plenty of water can help keep your skin hydrated and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles under and around your nose.


Wear Sunscreen

UV rays from the sun can damage your skin, leaving it dry and wrinkly. Nasolabial lines are no exception.
