Nose to Mouth Lines Require Lift or Filler -Laser Will Not Help

Laser Resurfacing will not improve Nose to Mouth Lines or a deep Nasal Labial Fold. Do not waste your money. A facelift can improve these lines but fillers or fat injection are your best option.

Consultation needed

There are many ways to address your particular concern. Schedule a consultation with a well trained board certified surgeon in your area. Upon examination, you will receive a treatment plan to best address your individual concerns.

Lasers for the nasolabial fold

If I am understanding you correctly you are asking what laser would best treat the nasolabial fold. I do not feel any laser really treats this fold all that well. Fillers are a better way and if bruising is an issue I would advise arnica prior to treatment. Also, review medications and supplements and make sure that any associated with bruising are discontinued for an appropriate amount of time prior to the procedure. Lasers can be very helpful for fine lines... more

Best laser for wrinkles

In order to answer your question correctly it is important to ensure that physicians comprehend the meaning of your question. Lines from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth are referred to as smile folds, smile creases and "the parentheses." These smile folds are best treated by fillers and lasers usually do not help, and usually facelifts do not help much for those lines either. Sometimes cheek volume augmentation makes the appearance of these lines less... more

Best Laser to Remove the Lines from Nose to Mouth

I agree with Dr Pozner in his statements posted. You should obtain in person evaluations so the correct laser choice can be offered to you.

Best Laser for "Lines from Nose to Mouth" aka Nasolabial Folds

First of all, let me mention that unless you have a blood disorder, easy bruising does not rule out the possibility of using fillers to improve your nasolabial folds. There are ways to prepare before during and after your filler treatment to minimize bruising. We have been successful in achieving minimal to no bruising in our susceptible patients. That being said, the best laser for improvement of nasolabial folds is the UltraPulse Encore Fractional CO2 Laser. It allows for... more

Laser treatment for Lines around mouth - What is Best?

Are you referring to the lasolabial creases (or folds)? If these are real depressions, then these are best treated with injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Perlane or Juvederm. Laser treatments will lead to only subtle improvements. For upper (and lower) lip wrinkles (a.k.a. "smoker's lines"), then the gold standard of laser treatments ist still the CO2 laser. Newer technologies such as fractionated lasers (i.e. "Fraxel", "Deep Fx" etc) can provide... more

Laser resurfacing best for lines around mouth

There are many different lasers that are effective for resurfacing the lines around the mouth. However, more important than the laser are the hands and brain of the person controlling the laser!!!! Experience counts and many factors need to be considered such as skin color, age, depth of wrinkles, previous treatment and downtime. My preference for peri-oral lines is the sciton erbium laser but as previously stated - many lasers may give good results.

Lasers aren't the best solution for the nasal labial folds.

If I were to do a laser for the nasal labial folds I would do a tightening laser such as tighten or thermage. However, I still think fillers are your best bet. You could prevent brusing by taking arnica and bromeline and you can post-laser use the pulsed dye laser to resolve the bruise more quickly. In addition, you could use a long lasting filler such as artefill which would require fewer treatments. Good Luck. Dr. Sikorski
