Why Nasolabial Folds Form
The development of nasolabial folds is a normal part of aging. Every smile, laugh, and expression uses the muscles around your mouth. Over time, though, certain changes can make these lines appear deeper, including:
- Loss of facial volume
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Sun exposure
- Genetics
- Changes in cheek support
- Collagen loss
How JUVÉDERM Helps Soften Smile Lines
JUVÉDERM is a collection of hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in the body and helps hold moisture and support tissue volume. When placed carefully, these fillers can soften moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds and create a smoother transition between the cheeks and mouth.
For nasolabial folds, providers may consider options such as JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC, JUVÉDERM Ultra XC, or JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus XC, depending on fold depth and desired outcomes. The best choice is based on your facial anatomy, skin thickness, age, movement, and goals.
What to Consider When Choosing the Right JUVÉDERM Filler
The right filler is not the same for every patient. During your visit, your provider may consider:
- Fold depth: Deeper folds may need more support than mild lines.
- Facial movement: Smile lines move often, so flexibility matters.
- Skin thickness: Thinner skin may need a gentler approach.
- Volume loss: Some patients need cheek support in addition to fold correction.
- Desired outcomes: Some people want a subtle refresh, while others want more visible smoothing.
