Permanent solutions for nasolabial folds (25 years old)? Ellacor? (Photos)

P
Phenomenal696568Sep 23, 2023

I would love to get rid of the volume and dimensional look of the nasolabial fold I have. I have had these since I was child but am envious of people who have a soft slope from their cheek to lips (see last photo). Are there any permanent solutions? I hate the idea of filler to pillow out my cheeks. I have always wished my cheeks had a soft slope like girl in the last photo but I have very large mid cheeks. Can I use ellacor above the fold? I am looking for permanent solutions, no filler please!

Ellacor would be just fine in your situation. Ellacor is hollow needles coring out skin; there is no energy component to the procedure like there is with other devices. I think keeping your comfortable during the procedure would be important so you do not strain your cervical area. Best Wishes!!

Hi! Yes, Ellacor can be safely done on East Asian skin with an experienced practitioner. There is a risk of scarring and pigmentation changes, so proper pre-treatment consultation and aftercare are essential.
