How Can I Get Rid of These Nasolabial Folds? (photo)
Hi, I'm a female in my 30's. I always had nasolabial folds but they´re becoming more noticeable now and I really do not like the way they look. So, I was wondering if a filler would work in my case. Please, I´ll be very happy if you give me a opinion on what you think that would fix them, or make them look better. Thank you so much.

Sculptra for thin face.
Hi Dean. You are an AMAZING candidate for Sculptra. The thinning facial structure is ideally suited for using this product. Sculptra is a biostimulator that helps the body develop significant amounts of new tissue (collagen).

The biggest problem with nasolabial fillers is...

In my opinion, the best way to give you the best result would be to revolumize your face with Sculptra rather than just put a filler in the nasolabial folds. Putting back more volume into your cheeks and temples will...

Fillers for face
You do have deep folds and based solely on your photos look very thin. Fillers such as Restylane Perlane, Radiesse or Sculptra may be helpful.

Facial volume loss can make nasolabial folds appear more prominent
You are a perfect candidate for Sculptra based on your photo. Your face is generally very thin and this will often make the central face appear less pleasing because the lack of support in the outer face gives the impression of a collapsing and folding of the central face, the nasolabial folds. By putting filler in the nasolabial folds you will further create an appearance of imbalance and your central face will look disproportionately fuller than your outer face. The face needs to be...
