There are many ways to treat nasolabial skin folds. There are many options available, including Botox, Thread lifts and Dermal fillers. These procedures are intended to give you short-term results. If repeated, they can cause your folds to look bulky.
Fat transfer
The process of fat transfer to the nasolabial folds can be carried out using a number of different techniques. The most common method is to use a small needle to inject fat directly in the nasolabialfold. This method looks natural and provides lasting results. Fat is usually transferred from an area of your body that isn't visible to the naked eye such as the hips, buttocks or thighs.
Proper placement is key to achieving optimal results. It is important to place the grafts at the right places. If the grafts don't go where the patient desires, they may not deliver the desired result.
Thread lifting
The Thread Lift is a quick procedure that improves the appearance and texture of the nasolabial lines without needing surgery. Most people can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. For the first couple of days, you should avoid strenuous activity. Additionally, make-up should be avoided for the first 24 hours. The procedure may cause swelling, bruising and/or dimpling in the skin. Although it is rare, some patients may experience tightening or tenderness in the skin.
The cost of a Thread Lift is much lower than other types of plastic surgery. The procedure is simple and does not require general anesthesia. The results last between six and 12 months. The number of threads used in the procedure will affect the price.
Dermal fillers
The use of dermal fillers to correct nasolabial (or wrinkles) in the corners and nose are called dermal fillers. These wrinkles are caused due to collagen loss and repetitive facial movements. They can produce unflattering shadows and increase the visibility of the folds. Dermal fillers can also be used to enhance the appearance of hands, which also suffer from volume loss. The treatment can restore volume, giving the hands a plump look.
Nasolabial wrinkles, which are common facial wrinkles, can lead to self-consciousness. Premium dermal Fillers can be used to improve the appearance or nasolabial grooves. These treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the mouth, and rejuvenate the face.

Botox
Nasolabial lines can also be treated surgically. These folds can be caused by sunburns and aging. Botox can be used as a treatment to reduce these folds. Sometimes, it's combined with fillers like Restylane. Botox injections are available in many cosmetic centers, including Omaha Face Plastic Surgery and Med Spa.
Botulinum Toxin A was originally described in the medical literature. Since 1992, it has been used for treating facial folds. The procedure has evolved and qualified aestheticians are now able to achieve satisfactory results. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will be capable of determining the exact amount and location of Botox needed. This procedure is expensive and not for everyone. Patients can usually resume their normal activities after treatment.
