Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Hyaluronic acid injections can help by:

- Adding volume to the area

- Smoothing out the skin

- Reducing the appearance of the folds

Results from nasolabial fold fillers using hyaluronic acid are typically visible immediately after the treatment. However, the final outcome can be seen once any swelling subsides, usually within 1-2 weeks.

Hyaluronic acid fillers for nasolabial folds can cause some discomfort, but pain levels are generally low. Clinics often use:

- Topical numbing creams

- Ice packs

- Fillers mixed with lidocaine (a local anesthetic)

These methods help minimize pain during the injection process.

Nasolabial fold fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months. The frequency of injections depends on the type of filler used and how your body metabolizes it. Most clients return for maintenance treatments once or twice a year to preserve the desired effect.

Yes, nasolabial fold fillers can be combined with other treatments. Common complementary treatments include:

- Botox for nearby wrinkles

Always consult with a professional to tailor treatments to your needs.
