I have very visible nasolabial folds that can't be covered with make-up. The lines are very visible even when I'm not smiling or moving my mouth. I thought of getting radiesse but I do not like the idea of getting some type of gel injected in my face. I prefer something that your body produces, not something like gel...Are there any other options?
Answer: Best treatment for nasolabial folds "Best" is a tricky term, since we all have different facial features, budget and lifestyle. For nasolabial folds, my personal preference is to start someone with a hyaluronic acid (HA) based filler. Hyaluronic acid is one of the main components of your skin and so it does get produced by your body. My affinity for HA products is mostly because if you do not like the result, it can be melted away quickly with an enzyme that is also produced by your body. These results are temporary as your body will resorb the filler. Once you have a result that you like with an HA filler (Juvederm, Restylane, etc), though, we can think about injecting fat carefully throughout your face to fill the volume loss that is causing your nasolabial folds to be so annoying. Engrafted fat that takes on its own blood supply in your face is permanent and long lasting. Best to see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in person evaluation so that a plan can be customized for you. Good luck!

CONTACT NOW Answer: Morpheus 8 Hi @Lalalouo. I recommend Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Answer: Fillers For Nasolabial Fold You have several safe choices.Restylane and Juvederm Ultra Plus are excellent hyaluronic acid fillers that are great for nasolabial folds. Radiesse works well in deep nasolabial folds. It can last more than 6 months. This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist with expertise in this area.

Answer: Sculptra is your own Collagen Hi Lala. If you want a product that is very natural, consider Sculptra injections. Sculptra is a fine particle injected with saline solution and it works by stimulating the production of your own collagen. For this reason it has an extremely natural appearance and lasts up to 2 years. For examples of our before and after photos for Los Angeles Sculptra patients, click on the link below.

Answer: Facial Contouring with Fillers, Nasolabial Folds I find that "large" folds really need fillers placed in the cheeks, folds, and deep areas like the temples, pyriform aperture (deep nose) jawline to give support to the folds. This is a complex process during aging and not just about line filling. Please see an expert for a formal evaluation and a long / short term plan All my patients use sculptra as the foundation and other fillers on top. Best, Dr. Emer.
