Is There Anything I Can Do to Reduce my Nasolabial Folds Naturally?

I'm 23 and in my opinion I look like I'm in my mid to late 30s. I have deep nasolabial folds which and enlarge pores which to me do nothing but make me look even older. Is there anything I can do to reduce my folds, pore size and dark spots. I'm considering surgical procedures because this really affects my confidence. Another thing is one side of my faces looks a lot more youthful than the other side. About me: I'm fairly active. I do about 6 - 9 hours of cardio weekly.

Large pores and deep nasolabial folds

The large pores may respond to a retin-A based skin program and possible nonablative laser to follow.

If the nasolabial folds remain deep then you may consider soft tissue fillers.
