Question

How can I make my laugh lines lighter and look younger? Age at 32

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I recommend fillers to soften the nasolabial folds themselves and also lift around the mouth and cheeks to build underlying anatomical support. In our practice we combine Sculptra with other fillers "layered" on top and lasers, skin tightening treatments such as Thermage, Fractora, and Renuvion (J Plasma), thread lifting,  and peels to get the most conservative, natural look. I suggest seeing a facial sculpting expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer

There are a couple ways to reduce the appearance of your smile lines. Our favorite at our Spa is with the use of PDO lifting threads and smooth threads. This is a non surgical way of lifting tissue back to its original position and reducing the heaviness you see around your mouth. Another way to reduce the appearance of those lines is to inject filler. This filler is not necessarily injected into those folds, but it can be. There are multiple techniques to reduce the appearance of your smile lines. A consultation with an experienced injector would be able to explain the techniques in more detail. I hope this has helped.

I encourage you to focus on skin rejuvenation.  You can consider treatments such as AVAVA laser, Morpheus8, chemical peels, etc.  These treatments help address skin tone and texture to refresh the skin.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen every day.
