Removing nasolabial folds procedures, Botox? Lifting? A summary by type.
My fortune is a good fortune.
Hello. I am Director Kim Ga-eul. They are called nasolabial folds, but not everyone has the same shape. Although they look similar on the outside,
they actually vary significantly based on the cause, form, and skin condition.
So the treatments cannot be explained in just one way.
The most frequently asked question in the clinic is "I just need to get nasolabial fillers, right?" However, the answer is not as simple as you might think. To achieve a natural and long-lasting result,
you must first accurately investigate why those wrinkles formed.
Today, I will divide the treatments for removing nasolabial folds into 5 types, and I will detail the appropriate method for each one. 1. Crack Type – Thin and deeply engraved nasolabial folds 💉Recommended Treatment: Belotero Soft Filler
It appears thin with cracks, like paper. Even when not making a facial expression, it is visible, and becomes more pronounced when smiling.
This type commonly occurs in people with thin skin and lack of elasticity.
In such cases,
the soft filler that spreads gently, Belotero Soft fits naturally.
It has finer and more even particles than regular fillers, making it especially effective for filling in fine lines. Even after the treatment, the expressions remain natural, and there is no excessive volume, resulting in high satisfaction.
2. Fine Type – Overlapping fine wrinkles of the nasolabial area 💉Recommended Treatment: Sculptra
They may not look deep externally, but makeup tends to settle in these areas, and the skin texture appears disrupted. This type consists of
writes stacked in layers rather than just a single line of wrinkles.
Therefore, recovering the skin's elasticity and inducing collagen to regenerate is much more effective than just filling with filler. Sculptra is a representative treatment suited for this.
It is especially popular among those wanting natural improvement.
3. Fat Type – Shadows caused by build-up of cheek fat rather than hollowness 💉Recommended Treatment: Double Slim Fat Dissolving Injection
It may look like the nasolabial region is hollow, but in reality, it's a type where cheek fat accumulates and creates shadows.
In this case, it's not actually hollow but has excessive volume.
So using filler could make it appear more unnatural, and it may even make the face look bigger.
At this time, it is much more natural to first manage the volume with a Double Slim Fat Dissolving Injection. 4. Elasticity Type – Nasolabial folds caused by overall facial sagging 💉Recommended Treatment: Juvelook Skin Booster
The nasolabial line itself is not deep, but the overall facial elasticity has dropped, making it look saggy. This type often involves not just nasolabial folds, but also cheeks, jawline, and mouth area being saggy together.
Therefore, just filling the nasolabial area locally does not
provide a fundamental solution.
In such cases, rather than replenishing volume, treatments that enhance skin elasticity should be prioritized.
Juvelook Skin Booster will increase the overall density of the skin,
naturally alleviating nasolabial folds, and brightening the overall impression.
5. Aging Type – Thinning skin + volume loss + sagging creates nasolabial folds 💆🏻♀️Recommended Treatment: Thermage FLX
This is a typical 'aging-type nasolabial fold.'
The thickness, volume, and support of the muscles have weakened,
resulting in deep and wide nasolabial folds. After the mid-40s, or in cases of rapid skin aging, this type often appears. equipment treatments that tighten from the inside are more effective.
Thermage FLX tightens the dermis using high-frequency waves,
providing excellent tightening effects
and is particularly suitable for improving aging-type nasolabial folds.
💡 Summary of Nasolabial Fold Types 💎 Thin and Deep Lines → Belotero Soft 💎 Overlapping Fine Lines → Sculptra 💎 Fat Buildup → Double Slim Fat Dissolving 💎 Overall Elasticity Loss → Juvelook Skin Booster 💎 Aging and Sagging → Thermage FLX Q&A Q. Do treatments for removing nasolabial folds necessarily require fillers?
No. Depending on whether the cause is fat, sagging, or skin elasticity, other treatments may be more natural than fillers. Q. How long do the effects of the treatments last? 💡 Fillers: 6 months - 1 year 💡 Sculptra: 1 - 2 years 💡 Skin Boosters and Fat Dissolving: Varies by individual The duration may vary depending on skin condition and age. Q. What is the recovery period like? A. Most can resume daily activities immediately. Fillers, skin boosters, and fat dissolving have almost no downtime, and Thermage may only cause transient redness.
Q. Can someone in their 20s receive treatments for nasolabial folds?
A. Yes, it is possible. If you have thin skin or a lot of cheek fat, nasolabial folds can start to appear in your late 20s. If managed lightly in the early stages, it can lead to much more natural improvement.
Q. I'm worried about obvious results. Can it be done naturally?
A. For the nasolabial area, the key is using a small amount inserted thinly and at the correct depth. If you don't overfill, it will naturally blend in. Q. Will I see results immediately after treatment? A. Fillers offer immediate changes, while Sculptra, Juvelook, and Thermage work gradually over several weeks.
You can plan for quick changes along with long-term improvement.
Nasolabial folds are not just a "filling treatment" but it is most important to accurately find out the reason why they formed.
You must choose according to the type to achieve natural and long-lasting results.
Therefore, a precise diagnosis and consultation before treatment
are the most important. Please identify what type of nasolabial folds you have and choose the appropriate treatment. Thank you for reading. I am Kim Ga-eul. Recommended Beauty Column Outline & Volume
