Nasolabial folds are two creases that extend downward from the sides of the nostrils. They are凹陷现象 should be "depressions" or "indentations" in the skin caused by aging of the skin tissue and loss of collagen.
Specifically, the formation of nasolabial folds is mainly related to skin laxity, subcutaneous fat atrophy, and loss of collagen. With aging, nasolabial folds gradually deepen and become one of the important signs of facial aging.
Nasolabial folds not only affect facial aesthetics but may also make a person appear more serious, aged, and less approachable. To improve nasolabial folds, individuals can adopt various methods, such as injecting hyaluronic acid or autologous cells, to fill wrinkles and restore skin elasticity. In addition, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and good skincare habits can also help prevent and reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds.
