I have developed fairly prominent smile lines on either side of my mouth. Partly (I think) due to genetics and partly due to dehydration from acne treatments that I am currently addressing. I have always had the potential for smile lines because of the way my cheeks are shaped but I can’t help but think I accelerated the process with harsh acne treatments (that I am no longer using). What is the best treatment? It seems too early to get fillers but would dermarolling or lazers help me? Thank you

Answer: Deep laugh lines in a 21 year old Deep laugh lines or nasiolabial folds (NLF) are a result of volume loss typically higher up in the malar Eminence, the cheeks, or under the eyes. As a result you need to first address those areas and then maybe fill in the nasolabial fold very lightly. This can start to in your 30s or 20s depending on your genetics and environment. You mention acne scarring and that can be treated with great certainty with micro-needling in combination with some great product like DefenAge or TNS Recovery.When it comes to fillers we've gotten great results with Restylane Lyft in combination with Restylane Defyne. Another newer filler to enter the market in January of 2018 is Versa. It's a great product and seems to last longer than a year. Radiesse can also give you great results. But, not every product is appropriate for every patient. It's a discussion you need to have with your doctor. My recommendation is watch some videos and learn about these fillers, their Pros and cons. You'll love what these can do to your face.
