What are nasolabial folds?

The most prone to aging part of the face is not the bags under the eyes, nor the deep grooves on the forehead, but the nasolabial folds that are most likely to appear next to the nose. A woman who looks young can hardly see these two lines, but if the groove is deep, the first impression will be that this person is not young. The nasolabial folds are the two lines extending down from the alar of the nose, which is a typical phenomenon of skin tissue aging and sunken skin surface.

Nasal folds are an important manifestation of facial aging. Once nasolabial folds appear, it is difficult to eliminate them on their own. Moreover, nasolabial folds are comprehensive wrinkles, which are not only caused by the sagging of the facial skin but also related to the movement of facial muscles. 

Causes of nasolabial folds

1. Skin aging

Some people are born with heavier nasolabial folds, which is determined by congenital genetics. But generally, after the age of 35, the nasolabial folds will gradually deepen. With age, the collagen and moisture content in the skin will gradually lose, and the subcutaneous fat will also shrink and sag, causing the skin to sag and age, forming depressions on the skin surface, resulting in nasolabial folds.

2. Rich expressions and living habits

Many people's nasolabial folds are caused by their rich expressions. If nasolabial folds extend from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth, it is because they love to laugh too much; if the nasolabial folds extend from the corners of the mouth down, they like it too much Mouth pursed and pouted; people with irregular life are also prone to grow nasolabial folds, and sleeping posture habits will also aggravate the growth of nasolabial folds, such as long-term side lying, staying up late, etc.

3. Air pollution and radiation

Air pollution and radiation from computers and mobile phones will also accelerate the generation of nasolabial folds. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of how to remove nasolabial folds, it is necessary to avoid these situations.

How to get rid of nasolabial folds

1. Surgery

endoscopy. The use of an endoscope to eliminate nasolabial folds is a kind of wrinkle surgery performed through a small incision in the skin with the help of an endoscope. During the operation, although the doctor cannot directly look at the operation area, he can perform accurate incision, separation, hemostasis, suturing, and other operations according to the clear images transmitted by the endoscope, which has the advantages of a fast recovery and less obvious incision.

Line carving pull. The function is to fill the sagging face and improve the nasolabial folds. The material embedded in the thread carving tightens the loose skin tissue like a rope and lifts it upwards, thereby achieving the effect of eliminating facial wrinkles and making the skin firm.

Facelift surgery. Beauty seekers with severe facial aging need to resort to surgical lifting.

2. Injection filling method

2.1. Hyaluronic acid filling. Inject hyaluronic acid along the nasolabial folds. The effect is natural, safe, and secure, and there are few side effects. Works immediately. No recovery period is required, but there are serious complications such as embolism. Hyaluronic acid filling to remove nasolabial folds can only last for about half a year, after which it needs to be filled again.

2.2 Autologous fat filling. Autologous fat is the fat extracted directly from our bodies. Because it is an autologous tissue, it has good compatibility when injected into the face, there is no rejection phenomenon, almost no side effects, and the postoperative effect is also very natural. Because fat has a certain absorbability, it needs to be filled several times. After the fat cells survive, the effect can be maintained for a long time. The fat filling has serious complications such as embolism and infection.

2.3, botulinum toxin injection. The principle of botulinum toxin in the treatment of nasolabial folds is to block the superficial muscles of the levator lip and alar levator lip, weaken the function of dynamic soft tissue, and make the nasolabial folds shallower and flatter, but it often needs to be used in combination with fillers.

For young people, the nasolabial folds are not very heavy, the facial depression is more obvious, and the filling effect will be better; on the contrary, it is necessary to do facial wrinkle lifts to solve the problem of nasolabial folds. The existence of nasolabial folds is caused by various reasons such as facial fat changes, ligament relaxation, biomechanics, and tissue structure differences. During the treatment process, doctors need to decide the treatment plan based on the specific situation.
