Nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds, also known as parentheses lines, are the deep wrinkles or lines that form from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth. While they’re extremely common, their severity can vary. They become more prominent when people age.

Except for newborns and people whose faces are paralyzed due to a medical condition, almost everyone has nasolabial folds.

Fillers are the only non-surgical treatment to reduce the nasolabial folds. The most common fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a natural product in our skin. Hyaluronic acid have been shown to help stimulate the growth of collagen in addition to hydrating the skin.

All fillers injected in Groot Hertoginne Institute require little to no recovery time. Some people experience slight bruising, but makeup can be worn immediately after treatment.

The effect of the most hyaluronic acid-based filers last 8 to 12 months. How long the filler lasts depends on the type of filler and how quickly your body dissolves it.
