Nasolabial Folds: Smile Lines

HST
smile lines

Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, are the creases that run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. They are a natural part of the aging process, but they can become more prominent over time due to a number of factors, including: Loss of volume: As we age, the skin loses volume and elasticity, which can lead to the appearance of wrinkles and folds. This is especially true in the area around the cheeks and mouth, where the skin is thinner and more delicate. Gravity: Gravity can also play a role in the formation of nasolabial folds. As we age, the skin on our face naturally begins to sag, which can make nasolabial folds more pronounced. Genetics: Some people are simply more prone to developing nasolabial folds than others. This is often due to genetic factors. Facial expressions: Facial expressions such as smiling and frowning can also contribute to the formation of nasolabial folds. Over time, these repeated muscle contractions can cause the skin to fold and Continue Reading

Cosmetic procedures are elective medical treatments that are designed to enhance a person’s physical appearance. They can be surgical or non-surgical, and there are a wide variety of procedures available, from simple Botox injections to complex reconstructive surgery. While cosmetic procedures can be very safe, they are not without risks. Potential risks can vary depending on the type of procedure being performed, but some common risks include: Infection: Cosmetic procedures can involve breaking the skin, which can create an opportunity for bacteria to enter the body and cause infection. Bleeding: Cosmetic procedures can also cause bleeding, which can be minor or severe. Allergic reactions: Some people may have allergic reactions to the materials used in cosmetic procedures, such as anesthesia, implants, or fillers. Nerve damage: Cosmetic procedures can sometimes damage nerves, which can lead to numbness, tingling, or weakness in the affected area. Scarring: All cosmetic procedures can leave scars, although the severity of scarring will vary depending on the type of procedure and the individual’s healing process.

Three of the most popular options are Fractional Laser, Ultherapy and Thermage FLX. Fractional Laser Fractional laser treatment uses tiny beams of light to create micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. Fractional laser can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including: Wrinkles and fine lines Hyperpigmentation Acne scars Enlarged pores Sun damage Melasma Fractional laser treatments are typically performed in a series of three to six sessions, spaced about four weeks apart.
