Disease description:

I have wrinkles on both sides of my nasal bridge. If I don’t take proper care of them, the consequences can be quite serious—they make me look significantly older. Although I’m in my thirties, I’m not that old! So, what exactly are nasolabial folds?

Hello, nasolabial folds are a classic sign of skin tissue aging, manifesting as depressions on the skin surface. These two vertical lines extend downward from the sides of the nostrils. The two primary causes of nasolabial folds are age-related skin laxity and excessive facial expression. Regular massage can help prevent and reduce nasolabial folds, while advanced cosmetic techniques—such as hyaluronic acid injections—can effectively correct them. During treatment, hyaluronic acid is injected along the nasolabial fold area, followed by gentle massage to mold and fill the wrinkles. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a joyful and fulfilling life!
