Which procedure besides filler would minimize the appearance of prominent nasolabial folds? (photos)

Question

I’m 25 and even though my nasolabial folds aren’t horrible, I don’t like them as they tend to be more prominent when I make certain faces. When I talk, the nasolabial folds are more pronounced and looks like I smelled something bad. Is there any way to improve their appearance without filler? I don’t want to inject more filler in my face and possibly look puffy since I’ve had filler injected in other parts of my face already. Would anything besides facial fillers help?

Hello,

Morpheus8 is a fractional RF microneedling device that delivers RF energy through ultra-fine needles to deeper layers of the skin. This dual-action approach stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother skin with reduced sagging and wrinkles.
It's particularly effective for addressing nasolabial folds—commonly known as smile lines—which can become more pronounced with age due to decreased collagen and elastin production.
Morpheus8 is suitable for individuals experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity around the nasolabial folds and seeking a non-invasive treatment option

Filler is the gold standard to lessen the prominence of nasolabial folds.  You could consider adding Morpheus8.  This treatment combines RF technology with microneedling to improve overall skin tone and texture which may soften the appearance of the folds  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Fat Grafting is more natural and patients like to combine it with prp to help it enhance the look. You can get inflammation anytime you inject fat or prp which dissipates over time sometimes can take up to a month.
