Otherwise known as nasolabial folds, these are creases that appear either side of the nose, stretching down to the edges of the mouth. You might notice they become much more visible when you smile or talk.

These lines occur as we age. Our skin loses its natural elasticity, and the little pillows of fat underneath our skin begin to shrink and descend. As our skin begins to sag, it can cause these folds either side of our mouth.

These kinds of lines are a natural part of ageing, so it’s important to get to the root of the problem and build a foundation to give a natural-looking end result. Every patient will need a different treatment plan, dependent on their age and the severity of the folds. This might involve small, subtle cheek filler injections to lift the face, or direct treatment of the folds themselves.

Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based fillers and have one of the best safety profiles of any injectable treatment, due to their biodegradable nature. They are minimally invasive and safe, if done by an experienced medical professional. As with any procedure, there are possible risks, the most common being post-procedure redness, bruising and swelling. All risks will be discussed on your consultation.

I do everything I can to reduce discomfort and make the treatment as pleasant as possible. A topical local anaesthetic can be used in the area to be treated before the procedure, and any needles used during the treatment are very small in size. My experience and approach to patient care makes all procedures I do comfortable and safe.

Dermal fillers can last anywhere between three to 18 months. This will depend on the type of filler injected, the amount of filler used, the area of the face being treated and how active it is. It is also affected by how quickly your body naturally breaks down the filler, which will vary from person to person. During our consultation, we can discuss this in detail, taking into consideration your specific needs.

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive and most people can return to their normal life immediately after treatment. However, all treatments pose some risk; the common side effects are redness, swelling and bruising. Allergic reactions are very rare but can occur. If you suffer from cold sores, it’s advisable to do preventive medication before treatment.
