Age 26, how to get rid of fine nasolabial fold lines? (Photo)

Question

Im 26 and my nasolabial fold lines extend down close to my lips. I’ve had fillers for nasolabial folds recently but I don’t feel like they addressed this part. What other procedures would work? Would Morpheus8 help?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

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

Hi there! Thank you for your question regarding nasolabial folds and Morpheus8. I believe you would get a good result from Morpheus8. I would suggest 3 sessions, 4-6 weeks apart. Please wait at least 4 weeks after getting filler to do Morpheus8.

I hope this helps!

Fillers are the gold standard when addressing nasolabial folds.  Morpheus8 treatments are wonderful at helping to improve overall skin tone and texture.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with an expert injector near you.

Emface sounds like it might be a great treatment for you. Emface smooths wrinkles and tightens the skin. EMface relies on RF radio frequency technology and HIFES to deliver incredible anti-aging benefits and encourage elastin and collagen production in the treatment area.
