Service Description

While being present in youth, the nasolabial folds deepen with the ageing process, and if addressed well with a small amount of filler, can give the face a more youthful appearance. The aim will not be a complete flattening or overfilling of the fold for this would produce a quite unnatural look. Both thinning of the upper lip and general volume loss in the mid face might contribute to the deepening of the nasolabial fold. Therefore, a combination with other treatments might be most suitable for the desired effect. Onset of results: immediately. Lasts 12-18 months. (Prices per syringe - usually only 1 needed) When booking your appointment, please consider the following pre- and post-treatment recommendations to minimise the risk of prolonged swelling, bruising, as well as filler displacement: Prepare for potential downtime. Although a minimally invasive procedure, you should still expect some bruising and swelling afterwards. Swelling usually lasts for two to three days. Best not to schedule filler treatments shortly before an event. Bruising will eventually go away, but there are some things you can do to reduce the risk of it: One week ahead of and three days following your appointment, avoid anything that thins the blood such as ibuprofen, aspirin, gingko, and alcohol. During and 48 hours following the treatment, avoid touching or any other source of pressure to the treated area. Lying down, especially face downwards immediately after filler injection can increase the swelling. Please, refrain from getting a massage treatment for 48 hours. Please, also refrain from intense exercise for three days and avoid intense physical activity as well as sauna / steam rooms on the day of treatment for at least 12 hours. Avoid vaccination - schedule your vaccine for two weeks before or two weeks after injections. If lip fillers or nasolabial fold fillers have been injected, avoid any type of dental work for two weeks. Consider waiting a week after filler injections before getting another facial treatment like chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
