Hi @ksindall. Thank you for sharing your photos. I recommend a combination treatment of dermal filler and Morpheus 8. Morpheus 8 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

Great question! Filler is a temporary fix, we highly recommend doing a skin treatment as well to stimulate your own collagen. This would include PRP micro needling or a laser treatment including the 1540 laser. This will also make the filler last longer and give optimal results. The nasolabial folds (the lines around the mouth) are due to aging and decrease of collagen from the cheek area. We focus on the cheeks to lift up those folds. Making sure you have a great sunscreen like Elta MD that has Zinc or Titanium will help product against the UVA sun rays that kill collagen.
