A Reduction in Shadowing of your Lower Facial Area

The Nasolabial fold also known as nose to mouth lines is a deep crease that runs from the corners of the mouth upwards towards the nose, as we age, fat is lost from the cheeks, elastin and collagen is reduced this results in a deepening of the line and a sag which makes us look older.

By using dermal fillers the nasolabial folds can be softened by restoring the lost volume ultimately providing a smoother wrinkle reduced lifted more refreshed youthful appearance.

A consultation may conclude that a different treatment—or no treatment—is the safest and most appropriate recommendation.

Preparation, treatment, recovery, suitability and aftercare guidance to support your consultation.

What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable materials used to add volume or soften certain lines. Different fillers contain different materials. Hyaluronic-acid fillers use a gel based on hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in skin that binds water. The effect depends on the product, treatment area and individual response. Your clinician will explain which product is proposed and its expected effects and limitations.

Can Dermal Fillers be Reversed?
Hyaluronic-acid fillers such as Juvéderm can often be reduced or dissolved with hyaluronidase, but this is a separate medical procedure that needs assessment and consent. It has its own risks, including allergic reactions, and more than one treatment may be needed. Dissolving filler does not guarantee that the original appearance will be restored or that every complication can be reversed.
Are Nasolabial Fillers Safe?
Dermal fillers carry risks even when performed by an experienced practitioner. Temporary swelling, bruising and discomfort can occur. Less common but serious complications include infection and accidental injection into a blood vessel, which can damage skin or affect vision. Dr Shaffu will discuss the risks that apply to your proposed treatment and how they are managed. Professional training and careful technique reduce risks but cannot eliminate them.
