Nasolabial Fold Treatment

The nasolabial fold (the crease that forms between the corners of the nose and the corners of the mouth) is a natural part of the face’s anatomy that can become more noticeable as we age. Both the loss of skin elasticity and facial volume contribute to the deepening of these lines. For some, the “smile lines” or “laugh lines,” as the nasolabial folds are sometimes called, can become one of the most bothersome signs of aging on the face.

At LM Medical NYC in Downtown NYC, we offer a highly effective treatment for nasolabial folds using facial filler injections tailored to each patient’s unique needs and facial anatomy. Our skilled and experienced team, led by Dr. Morgan Rabach, a Board-certified dermatologist, specializes in non-surgical facial rejuvenation and natural results, restoring youthful contours and enhancing facial aesthetics with minimally invasive treatments.

What is a Nasolabial Fold Treatment?

Nasolabial folds are one of the first noticeable signs of aging. They can become more prominent with age, stress, or fluctuations in weight. Dermal fillers are one of the easiest, fastest, safest, and most effective solutions for treating these folds.

A skilled and experienced provider can safely inject hyaluronic acid-based fillers into the areas around the folds to restore lost volume, smooth out the lines, and create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. The results are immediate, and the effects can last several months with proper treatment. These fillers help rejuvenate the face and reduce the signs of aging.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Nasolabial Folds?

The best candidates for nasolabial fold treatment in the New York area are individuals experiencing early or moderate signs of aging, such as noticeable smile lines or deeper folds around the nose and mouth. Candidates should be in generally good health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s results.

It’s important to consult with our team to determine if this treatment is right for you.

What Are the Benefits of a Nasolabial Fold Treatment?

The main benefit of a Manhattan nasolabial fold treatment is a smoother, more youthful appearance. By restoring volume in the cheek area and filling in the folds around the nose and mouth, fillers can reduce the depth of the lines and give the face a more rejuvenated look.

Additionally, this treatment can:

  • Enhance facial balance and symmetry
  • Create a smoother contour between the nose and mouth
  • Offer a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime
  • Provide long-lasting results with a natural appearance
  • Restore youthful volume to the midface, lifting the overall facial structure

What’s the First Step?

The first step in addressing nasolabial folds is scheduling a personalized consultation with Dr. Morgan Rabach at LM Medical NYC. During this in-depth consultation, Dr. Rabach will thoroughly assess your facial anatomy, including the unique structure of your skin and underlying tissues, as well as the severity of your nasolabial folds. She will discuss your specific aesthetic goals in detail, ensuring that she understands your vision for the treatment and how you want your results to look.

Dr. Rabach will carefully review your medical history, including discussing existing medical conditions, medications, or allergies, to ensure that dermal filler injections are the most appropriate treatment option for you. Based on this comprehensive evaluation, Dr. Rabach will recommend the best course of action, whether it’s using a specific dermal filler or a combination of treatments to achieve your desired outcome.

What to Expect on the Day of a Nasolabial Fold Treatment

You can expect a quick and comfortable procedure on the day of your nasolabial fold treatment. First, we’ll cleanse your face, mark the areas to be treated, and apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Dr. Rabach will then inject the dermal filler into the targeted areas, carefully smoothing the product into the skin to achieve a natural, youthful appearance.

The treatment usually takes 20 to 30 minutes and has no downtime, so that you can resume most of your daily activities immediately.

Nasolabial Folds Recovery

Recovery after nasolabial fold treatment is typically quick and minimal. Most patients experience only mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolves within a few days. These effects are temporary and should not interfere significantly with daily activities.

To achieve the best possible results and avoid additional swelling, you should avoid certain activities, such as intense exercise, saunas, or direct sun exposure, for a few days after your treatment. It’s also important to refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas for a day or two to allow the filler to integrate properly into the skin.

Most patients can return to work and resume their regular routine immediately after the procedure, as there is little to no downtime. Any mild swelling or bruising can usually be easily concealed with makeup. By following post-treatment guidelines, you’ll enjoy smooth, youthful results in just a few days.
