How to reduce dynamic nasolabial folds without using fillers. Is botox or prp suitable? Or skincare, laser, etc.? (photos)

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

Thanks for your question, Tanzmoon. I agree that Botox in this area will not give you the results for which you’re looking. I know you don’t want filler in your nasolabial folds (and I agree it could make you look even heavier in that area), but have you considered filler in the cheeks? That can often help lift the nasolabial fold. You could also look into some barbed, lifting PDO threads. Threads are nice in that there is essentially no downtime with immediate results. I hope this helps. Good luck on your aesthetic journey!

Botox is not helpful for nasolabial folds. If you are not wanting filler you can consider treatments such as FaceTite or Morpheus8. This will help promote collagen production, tighten skin, and improve tone and texture. See a board certified plastic surgeon to learn more.

Skin tightening with ultrasound would help lift the skin and reposition fat pads, which helps this concern, we use the UltraFormer device and find results last 6-12 months after one session. The ideal course of action would be dermal filler, you may wish to further research this approach. Botox is not advisable.
