How long does hyaluronic acid injection in the nasolabial folds last?
Disease description:
My facial skin has started to sag, especially with the nasolabial folds becoming increasingly noticeable, which troubles me greatly. I've heard that injecting hyaluronic acid can improve nasolabial folds, but I'm curious about how long the effects will last. Therefore, I'd like to ask the doctor how long the results typically last after receiving hyaluronic acid injections for nasolabial folds?

Generally, the effects of hyaluronic acid injections for nasolabial folds can last from 6 months to 1 year, with specific duration varying due to individual differences.
Nasolabial folds are linear wrinkles caused by factors such as facial muscle sagging and collagen loss. Hyaluronic acid is an acidic mucopolysaccharide and a natural component of human dermal tissue. It has excellent water-binding properties, enabling it to absorb and retain moisture, thereby providing deep hydration and moisturization. Therefore, it is commonly used to fill nasolabial folds and improve skin laxity and depressions.
To ensure the safety and effectiveness of hyaluronic acid injections, it is recommended to choose a reputable medical institution and have the procedure performed by a qualified physician. Additionally, post-treatment care according to medical advice is important, including avoiding touching or pressing the injection site with hands to prevent compromising the results. For individuals wishing to maintain long-term effects, periodic touch-up injections can be considered when the effects begin to diminish, to sustain satisfactory results. Furthermore, in daily life, attention should be given to hydration and moisturization, balanced nutrition, and moderate exercise, all of which help delay skin aging and reduce wrinkle formation.
