Best treatment for 30 yr old with nasolabial folds? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I have smile lines even when I'm not smiling. They actually cause my makeup to separate and collect in the fold when I wear makeup, which only accentuates the problem. I take care of skin, and see a Dermo about once every 2-3 months (my skin recovered from a bad hormonally related cystic breakout last year). I wear sunblock everyday, and get facials once a month. What would help correct this issue best? Thank you.

Hi @eyesonfire. I would suggest you consider hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Restylane Defyne for your nasolabial folds/laugh lines. I recommend seeking treatments from expert injectors who have the skill and experience to precisely inject fillers into treatment areas and avoid risks and complications. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Thank you for your photographs as they are very helpful. The goal is to treat the cause of the lines developing rather than the lines them selves.  The lines are becoming more pronounced around the mouth as your mid face/cheek area is loosing a little bit of support in terms of volume and the skin is losing a little bit of elasticity.  I would suggest adding Restylane Lift to your cheek area and then using a new filler called Restylane Refyne around the mouth to soften their appearance.  This will make you look so much more refreshed.  Hope this helps.  Best, Dr. Avaliani

For your smile lines I would recommend Juvederm ultra plus.  It is a dermal filler that is injected into the skin to plump up the creases to soften and smooth the lines.  It typically lasts 6-12 months.  There is another filler that just came out that I think will be better than Juvederm.  It is called Restylane Defyne.  I think it will be better because it will last longer and the filler is more flexible so when you smile it will stretch with it.  This won't be available for general offices until summer.  Please make sure you go to an experienced and skilled injector when you do get your fillers done.
