Nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds

Causes and effective treatment at Perfect Esthetics Zurich

Nasolabial folds are a common concern for many of our clients. They run from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth and can make the face appear tired or older. At Perfect Esthetics Zurich, we offer an effective and safe treatment for these wrinkles using hyaluronic acid.

 

 

How do nasolabial folds develop?

As we age, our skin loses moisture, elasticity, and structure. This is due to the breakdown of collagen and subcutaneous fat, which normally acts as a natural filler. The thinner skin around the mouth and cheeks is particularly susceptible to these changes, making nasolabial folds more prominent. Facial expressions also play a role, and these wrinkles are often already pronounced at a young age due to genetic factors.

 

 

Treatment of nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid

At Perfect Esthetics Zurich, we use high-quality hyaluronic fillers to specifically restore lost volume in the skin and plump wrinkles. Our experienced dermatologists precisely inject the gel-like hyaluronic acid into the nasolabial fold and the surrounding tissue. This intensively plumps and stabilizes the skin, resulting in a natural smoothness and a more youthful appearance.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin that intensively binds moisture and ensures a smooth surface. Since the natural hyaluronic acid content decreases with age, we can smooth deep and fine wrinkles from within through injections.

 

 

Benefits of hyaluronic treatment and duration of results

The treatment is gentle; thanks to very thin needles, you'll barely feel anything other than a small puncture. If necessary, the area can be locally anesthetized. The effects are immediately visible and typically last twelve to eighteen months, depending on your individual skin structure, lifestyle, and metabolism. Refresher treatments are possible at any time and have an additional benefit: The more frequently hyaluronic acid is injected, the more the skin's own production of collagen and elastin is stimulated, thus extending the lifespan of the results.

 

 

Risks and side effects

Since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, it is generally very well tolerated. After treatment, slight redness or swelling may occur at the injection sites, but this will subside on its own within a few days. This can be easily covered with makeup if necessary. We recommend cooling the treated area after treatment and immediately avoiding strenuous exercise, strong sunlight, and sauna visits.

 

 

Why not botulinum treatment for nasolabial folds?

Botulinum is a muscle relaxant and is ideal for expression lines such as forehead wrinkles or frown lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the method of choice for the cheek, mouth, and nasolabial area, as these wrinkles are primarily caused by volume loss and do not require muscle relaxation. At Perfect Esthetics Zurich, we will provide you with comprehensive advice on the wrinkle treatment method that is right for you and, if necessary, offer a combination of different techniques for optimal results.
