My nasolabial folds are not terrible but they’re noticeable with makeup. I’m worried I’m too young. I don’t want to look different.
Answer: This is entirely a personal preference. The decision about whether or not to get injectable fillers ultimately comes down to your personal preferences and goals. If the appearance of your nasolabial folds bothers you and keeps you from feeling like you’re putting your best self forward, there’s no reason why you couldn’t get fillers now to help smooth them away. Depending on the product you choose, your results could last anywhere from 6 to 18 months before gradually fading away. So you do need to decide if maintaining fillers every year or so is something you want to start now or hold off until later.

Answer: Nasolabial Folds First of all, there isn't a specific age when someone should begin using fillers. It is entirely a personal preference. With that being said, I would recommend that you have a consultation with an experienced injector. During this consultation, the injector will explain to you the various fillers used today, where they are typically injected, how long the last, etc. You can also ask for before and after photos from the injector or even show them a picture of you maybe a few years earlier when you felt the nasolabial folds weren't bothersome. Hope this helps!

Answer: See an expert If you do not like the look of your NLF you can definitely soften their look with injectable products. Preventative measures such as daily sunscreen, medical grade facial cleansers and creams are also helpful at your age.

Answer: Smile Lines / Nasolabial Folds - Fillers + Sculptra, Lasers like Fraxel/Clear + Brilliant, Radiofrequency, Peels, Skin Care It's less about the filler and more about the expertise of the injector. You'll want to see a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist to ensure that your results are subtle and natural-looking. I recommend fillers for the folds themselves but also lifting around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top. If needed, lasers, radiofrequency treatments, Renuvion, and peels can be used in combination to get a more conservative natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Filler is nasolabial fold Hi,Age is mostly irrelevant when deciding to correct a facial feature that bothers you. What is critically important is if the area truly needs to be corrected, how much product to use and the specific type of filler needed. The nasolabial fold is a highly dynamic area and the fillers used in this area should be somewhat soft and ideally have some level of stretch - such as restylane defyne. Best,
