Nasolabial Folds Treatment Perth

Understanding Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are the natural lines that extend from the sides of the nose towards the corners of the mouth. While everyone has them, they can become deeper or more noticeable over time as facial volume, skin elasticity and structural support change.

At The Lime Tree Clinic, Nasolabial Softening treatment is tailored to your individual facial anatomy and concerns. Rather than simply focusing on the line itself, our experienced cosmetic doctors and nurses assess the surrounding facial structures to determine the most appropriate approach for a natural, balanced result.

Who is Nasolabial Folds Treatment Suitable For?

Nasolabial Folds Softening treatment may be suitable for:

  • Individuals noticing deeper or more prominent folds between the nose and mouth
  • Those experiencing age-related changes in facial volume and support
  • Those wanting to soften the appearance of these folds while maintaining natural facial expression

A consultation with our experienced cosmetic doctor or nurse is essential to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Treatment Summary

  • Treatment Duration: About 30-45 minutes per session.
  • Downtime: Minimal, some redness, swelling, tenderness or bruising may occur following treatment
  • Potential Risks or Side Effects: Temporary bruising, swelling, redness or tenderness may occur.
  • Results: Visible immediately, with the final appearance becoming clearer as swelling settles.
  • Maintenance: Results may last 9-18 months, maintenance varies between individuals.

Why Do Nasolabial Folds Become More Noticeable Over Time?

Nasolabial folds are a normal part of facial anatomy, but they may become more prominent with age. This can occur as collagen and elastin levels decline, skin becomes less firm and changes in facial volume alter the support around the mid and lower face.

For some people, the folds themselves may be the main concern. For others, changes elsewhere in the face may be contributing to their appearance.

This is why treatment should be individually assessed rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

Should Nasolabial Folds Always Be Treated Directly?

Not necessarily, and this is where understanding facial anatomy becomes important.

A prominent nasolabial fold can sometimes be influenced by changes in surrounding facial volume and support. Depending on your individual anatomy, your cosmetic doctor or nurse may recommend addressing the fold itself, surrounding areas, or a combination of approaches.

The aim is to soften the appearance of the area while maintaining natural facial proportions, movement and expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

This treatment can help restore volume and support the natural contours of the face, particularly in areas such as the nasolabial folds. 

Aging: As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping the skin firm and youthful. This leads to sagging and the deepening of lines and folds.

Sun Damage: UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, increases the formation of free radicals, reduces skin elasticity, and accelerates the formation of wrinkles and folds over time.

Smoking: Smoking contributes to the breakdown of skin fibres, reduces skin turnover and reduces blood flow, which can cause the nasolabial folds to become deeper, longer or more prominent.

Weight Loss: Significant weight loss, especially large and frequency fluctuations can result in a loss of facial volume, making nasolabial folds more prominent.

Genetics: Some people are more prone to developing nasolabial folds due to their genetic makeup. You may have noticed family members who have similar lines appearing.

Nasolabial fold softening treatment may be suitable for individuals over 18 who are concerned about the appearance of deepened smile lines and wish to support a refreshed appearance.

Many clients begin considering this treatment in their early thirties when natural volume loss may lead to more prominent nasolabial folds. However, there is no strict age requirement, anyone seeking enhancement of this area can inquire about the treatment.

A consultation with a qualified cosmetic doctor or nurse is essential before proceeding. This allows us to assess your individual needs, discuss your goals, explain potential risks, and tailor a personalised approach that aligns with your desired outcomes.

As with any cosmetic procedure, nasolabial folds softening treatments carry potential side effects and risks.

Common side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, tenderness and discomfort at the treatment site. Less common risks can include lumpiness, asymmetry, infection or not achieving the desired aesthetic outcome.
