Removing nasolabial folds: the most effective recipes and procedures

The nasolabial folds are skin grooves that extend from the wings of the nose to the corners of the lips. These creases give the face a mournful expression and age. Even in sociable and smiling people with rich facial expressions, such folds early pass into the category of static ones and do not disappear during the period of facial relaxation.

Nasolabels appear in the muscle layer in adolescence, but they are not noticeable under young skin. Only with a smile can you see fine lines that are completely smoothed out as soon as the emotion disappears. Over the years, these wrinkles take on a deeper and more pronounced appearance. A gloomy face appears in some at the age of 35-40, in others, due to hyperactive facial expressions, at 25.

Why nasolabial folds appear

The formation of “wrinkles of sorrow” is due to several factors:

• Hyper- or hypotonic muscle. In the first case, due to overly active facial expressions, the muscles are compressed and shortened, which pull the skin along with them. These creases are characterized by increased density, they seem to be pressed inward. In the opposite case, when the muscles are overly relaxed, there is a “sliding” – ptosis – of the cheeks.
• Age-related loss of tissue elasticity and elasticity.
• A sharp thinning of the layer of fatty tissue on the cheeks and in the perioral zone due to intense weight loss.
• Genetic predisposition and features of the anatomical structure of the skull.
• The presence of addictions, especially smoking. It provokes muscle tension in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle and destroys vitamin C, an active antioxidant that binds free radicals that cause premature skin aging. With the frequent use of alcohol, swelling of the face occurs, so the stagnant fluid enhances the effect of “wrinkles of sorrow”.
• The habit of sleeping with your face buried in the pillow.
• Malocclusion.
• Deficiency of moisture and microelements.
• Illiterate or irregular facial skin care.
• Professional articulatory tension – in singers, announcers, artists.
• Chronic diseases – problems with the cardiovascular system, liver and kidneys, as well as hormonal disorders and complications after plastic surgery.

Types of nasolabial folds

The classification of nasolabial wrinkles proposed by the leading plastic surgeon E.B. Laputin includes:

• Dash-fold – a superficial wrinkle-line, supported from the inside by tissues that retain elasticity. This type of “nasolabial” is easy to correct.
• The GAP fold is a deep crease under which the tissues have undergone changes due to ptosis and lack collagen.
• Gradient nasolabial fold – a wrinkle formed due to a significant difference between the height of the cheek and upper lip. It is quite difficult to smooth out such a hall completely.

At what age do nasolabial folds appear

How many years the noticeable “wrinkles of grief” appear depends on the lifestyle, skin properties and the type of aging:

• The tired type – more often by the age of 30, less often – by the age of 25, depends on the individual characteristics of the skin.
• Deformation – “floated” type – by the age of 30.
• The muscular or “Asian” type assumes long-term preservation of youthfulness of the skin, then after 40 years there is a rapid loss of dermis tone and the formation of “nasolabials”.

Salon procedures

Salon procedures for the removal of nasolabial folds are divided into aesthetic and surgical.

Mesotherapy against nasolabial folds

Injections of microdoses of cocktails, which contain hyaluronic acid, collagen, plant extracts and vitamin-mineral complexes, help to improve tissue structure by activating metabolic processes.

They are effective in the early stages of the formation of superficial folds in the nasolabial triangle. It will not be possible to smooth out deep and even medium wrinkles in this way. Facial mesotherapy using the injection method costs 2,500-3,000 rubles, with a fractional microperforation apparatus – 1,500-2,200 rubles.

Contour correction against nasolabial folds

The fastest and most effective method of local nasolabial correction. Subcutaneous cavities are filled with fillers of various densities, which form the missing volume.

Drugs that activate tissue fibrosis (Sculptra, Ellance, Radiesse) require professionalism from a dermatocosmetologist, as they are fraught with asymmetry of the nasolabial folds due to uneven tissue fibrosis.

Collagen-containing fillers with natural protein of animal origin: the preparation “Collost” 15% 1.5 ml cost from 13,000 rubles. Of the side effects, an allergic reaction and the formation of granulomas at the injection site of the drug are possible.

Fillers based on hyaluronate – hyaluronic acid – guarantee biocompatibility with the body and the absence of an allergic reaction, they do not provoke tissue fibrosis and the appearance of granulomas. Suitable for the complex solution of aesthetic problems. For example, together with the filling of the “nasolabial” it is possible to raise the corners of the lips.

Beauty injections

Lipolifting against nasolabial folds

The cavities in the nasolabial area are filled with the patient’s own fat, previously obtained from the abdomen and processed. The result comes out more natural than in the case of hyaluronate. The effect lasts from 2 to 3 years.

The procedure is complicated and expensive. At the same time, it is impractical to carry out lipofilling only to fill the nasolabial folds. It is combined with liposuction or facelift to treat several areas at the same time.

The average cost of facial lipolifting in the regions is 50,000 rubles, and the filling of the nasolabial zone is 34,000 rubles.

To increase the effectiveness of lipofilling or contouring, they are performed in combination with the Ulthera System hardware procedures and RF-lifting. Separately, these manipulations do not give a noticeable result, and the synergistic effect with contour plastics and lipolifting is excellent.

Thread lift and bio-reinforcement against nasolabial folds

To enhance the effect, thread lifting is combined with injections of fillers that add volume. With the fan technique, up to 10 threads are required, at a price of 1,200 rubles. for each.

Bio-reinforcement helps to remove nasolabial folds, thanks to the introduction of threads from a special gel containing hyaluronate into problem areas. The effect can last from six months to a year, or due to prolonged-release drugs – up to 2-3 years or more. The cost of the procedure depends on the amount and brand of the drug, its density and other parameters.

Resurfacing against nasolabial folds

Laser resurfacing causes controlled microburns of the skin, which stimulates its renewal. This method is used only for the initial fold strokes, since it is not suitable for deeper creases. At the same time, the cost of fractional thermolysis is high – from 12,000 rubles. for the face.

Peeling against nasolabial folds

To remove nasolabial wrinkles, deep penetration into the depths of the epidermis and removal of its upper layer will be required. The procedure promotes the launch of regeneration – renewal – of cells, which helps to smooth out wrinkles and rejuvenate the face.

Deep peeling is rarely prescribed and is carried out under conditions of dermatosurgery.

Plastic surgery against nasolabial folds

It makes no sense to carry out a surgical correction that helps to remove only nasolabial wrinkles. It is more expedient to combine it with the solution of other aesthetic problems. For example, perform a lifting of the lower third of the face, including correction:

3. Sitting upright, take a deep, loud breath through the nose and exhale through the tubular lips extended forward. We repeat 10-15 times.
4. More often we perform the exercise, spreading our lips into a wide smile, then we bring them together with a tube.
5. Taking your head back, alternately pull out the upper lip, lowering it over the lower one. Then we pull out the lower one and direct it upward until it covers the upper lip.
