I have very deep nasolabial folds. What would you recommend: fillers or laser treatment? Or microneedling? (Photos)

I am 32 years old. I have these nasolabial folds for years but in the last year, they started to look even worse. What should I do to get rid of them? I don’t want a plastic look ( surely no one does of course) To be more specific I want a more natural look, I won’t be a model after all. Thank you for your recommendations. Photos attached.

A combination of botox and lasers or chemical peels would give you the best results. Botox can be used to relax the muscles around your eyes which contract when you smile. Lasers, peels would diminish the wrinkles that are present at rest. Good luck

Thanks for your question. You can absolutely still have filler. However, you may have a tendency to swell up at the sight for a few days afterward if your invert yourself. Warm regards.

PDO threads are a waste of your time and money and will not give you any lasting benefit. I cannot recommend them. Fillers may help change the shape of your face, but will also add volume which you may or may not want in your face. A small amount of filler under your eyes may be a nice change...
