Are Some Individuals Genetically Prone to Developing Nasolabial Folds? (photo)

First, I will say that everyone has nasolabial folds, look at babies for example.  However, some people's folds are more prominent and a certain component is genetic.

Of course there is a component to all of our looks that is genetic. To specifically narrow that down to nasolabial folds is hard. But every person has nasolabial folds to some extent because of the way the mouth, jaw, and cheek muscles connect. The pronouncement of these is what differs per individual. Sunscreen helps prevent many wrinkles and lines, so if you are 25, make sure you are preventing the majority of aging simply by using a good daily sunscreen.
