Everyone has nasolabial folds. These are furrows that descend from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. True, some people with lucky genetics do not have to worry about them: the “creases” are not very pronounced. Others, and these are the majority, have to deal with these unpleasant folds already at a relatively young age. Facial massage, special masks and anti-aging creams, cosmetic procedures and contouring are used.
How to prevent the premature appearance of nasolabial folds? What is the most effective way to combat nasolabial folds? The authoritative opinion of our specialist will help you navigate ways to combat the signs of aging.
Where do nasolabial folds come from?
Nasolabial folds, like many other cosmetic problems, are a direct consequence of gravity. They arise from the fact that over time, the tissues of the face begin to gradually sag: the layer of subcutaneous fat becomes thinner, the face loses volume, and the cheeks and cheekbones begin to “drain” down. The area around the lips is one of the most mobile on the face, the muscles that are located there are active, when we eat, talk, smile - they are practically never in a relaxed state. All emotions are imprinted on the face, so people with active facial expressions notice the appearance of “ nasolabial sphincter" usually earlier - at about 25-30 years.
In addition to those who smile frequently, smokers are another target for the early appearance of nasolabial folds. This is due to the fact that nicotine negatively affects the skin, making it less elastic. The specific work of the muscles around the mouth during smoking also plays a role.
Dramatic weight loss also creates an additional risk of early development of nasolabial folds: the cheeks, like other areas, lose volume and “slip”, resulting in creases.
The long-term habit of sleeping face down on a pillow can also do a disservice - during such sleep, the skin around the mouth does not relax, but becomes wrinkled.
Recovery after the procedure
In the first 24 hours after filler injection, certain recommendations are followed. During this period you will need:
- exclude the use of any cosmetics;
- avoid active facial expressions;
- Avoid rubbing your face.
For several days you should avoid exposure to ultraviolet rays and playing sports. It is necessary to temporarily postpone other cosmetic procedures. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should not be taken for two weeks.
How to prevent nasolabial folds
Cosmetologists do not propose to become a soulless robot without emotions. There are less radical tips that will delay the appearance of wrinkles in the nose and lips. The main goal is to combat the causes of wrinkles, that is, decreased skin elasticity and weakened facial muscles. Therefore, cosmetologists recommend:
- Maintain a healthy weight and do not strive for excessive thinness: a skin-covered face always looks older and appears sullen. Don't get carried away with diets that promise quick results. Sudden weight loss negatively affects the condition of the skin and hormonal levels.
- Include in your diet foods rich in vitamins and microelements necessary to maintain skin elasticity.
- Take care of your facial skin, maintain moisture balance, protect your skin from the aggressive effects of sunlight.
The essence of the procedure
Contour plastic surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure created for both sexes.
When performed correctly, it completely replaces surgery. The procedure allows:
- smooth out wrinkles in the nasolabial area;
- eliminate folds of varying depths;
- increase skin elasticity;
- correct the floating oval.
Note! After the procedure, you will not have to wait long for results. The method guarantees quick results and allows you to look several years younger. Plastic surgery of nasolabial folds is well tolerated at any age. Modern cosmetologists consider it as safe as possible.
Methods to combat nasolabial folds
There is a whole arsenal of tools that will help in the fight against nasolabial folds. If wrinkles have just appeared, you should focus on high-quality cosmetics and daily self-massage.
To strengthen the muscles of the cheekbones and prevent sagging cheeks, it is recommended to perform special exercises for the face. If gymnastics and creams do not give the desired result, you should pay attention to professional methods of dealing with nasolabial folds.
- Mesotherapy and regular facial resurfacing help keep the skin toned. Depending on your skin type, age and other additional factors, your doctor will help you choose the peeling composition that is best for you. During chemical peels, the top layer of skin is exfoliated, regeneration processes are stimulated, and the skin becomes more elastic and hydrated. At the same time, shallow nasolabial folds become less pronounced and the skin is evened out.
- Deeper nasolabial folds and noticeable creases can be removed using hardware methods: laser facial resurfacing, nanoperforation is a “microtrauma” of the skin, which causes the body to react in the form of increased collagen production, which gives the skin elasticity. Thus, the face returns to its former shape, and the transition to the cheek becomes smoother.
- The thread lift method has proven itself well - its effect is based on the fact that special thin threads are introduced into the skin, forming a frame that holds the face in its existing form, preventing the tissue from sagging. Also, with the help of threads you can not only fix, but also tighten problem areas: cheekbones, skin around the eyes, the middle part of the face.
Our specialist has extensive experience in the use of injection lifts. The muscles that contract during laughter and speaking can be relaxed with Botox or Dysport, which will help smooth out nasolabial folds. This method, however, also has a disadvantage: sometimes natural, habitual facial expressions are disrupted, certain areas become almost motionless for a while.
A deep solution to the problem if the nasolabial fold does not lend itself to other types of correction is leveling with fillers based on hyaluronic acid. This achieves an excellent cosmetic effect that is immediately visible. The essence of the method: a gel is injected into the crease area, which fills the fold, restoring volume, as a result of which the surface of the skin is smoothed. The effect usually lasts for several months, after which the gel gradually dissolves, but the procedure can be repeated.
Another type of nasolabial fold filling is lipofilling. The technology is the same, only the patient’s own fat tissue, borrowed from the donor area, is used as a filler. The advantages of this method are that the effect is longer lasting, you can restore lost volume in several parts of the face (cheekbones, cheeks), after which the face will become noticeably younger.
If you are thinking about choosing a method for correcting nasolabial folds, consult our doctor. Extensive experience in combating age-related changes and high qualifications are the guarantee that you will be offered the most effective and safe methods, and you will forget about such a problem as nasolabial folds for a long time.
How to solve problems yourself
To visually correct nasolabial folds at home, you should take the advice of a makeup artist on how to apply makeup correctly. In this case, the anatomical structure of the nasolabial zone will remain the same, but its visual perception will change.
Anti-aging care products (creams, tonics, foams, face masks, scrubs) will help to slightly tighten nasolabial wrinkles. They contain hyaluronic acid, collagen, antioxidants, vitamins, oils, and moisturizing components.
To prevent and smooth out facial wrinkles, massage and special exercises are used. Folk remedies include the use of herbal decoctions and compresses with plant pulp. Unfortunately, the result after applying the listed correction methods is neither pronounced nor durable.
Guaranteed result
To eliminate nasolabial folds and permanently rejuvenate your face, you do not need to visit a cosmetologist frequently. A one-time procedure is sufficient. The results of plastic surgery done in our clinic last up to 1.5 years. Repeated injection of fillers is indicated no more than once every 1-2 years.
It is important to know! Contour plastic has a complex effect on the skin. At the site of filler injection, the division of structures involved in the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid increases. This ensures renewal at the cellular level, allowing you to hide traces of real age.
Correction using lifting threads
Lifting threads will also help remove deeply pronounced nasolabial folds. The most effective threads are Soft Lift, Dermafil, Resorblift, Silhouette. All of them belong to the category of “smart”, that is, they adapt perfectly to tissues, do their job and are eliminated from the body naturally. Their main task is to move tissue from the center to the periphery, in other words, to tighten it.
A number of threads are made from 100% polylactic acid, which is biologically compatible with the human body. It completely resolves and is eliminated from the body within 9-12 months. But during this time, being inside the body, it has a rejuvenating effect, activating skin renewal and slowing down the aging process. In addition, skin cells begin to actively produce new collagen of their own, which increases skin elasticity. This happens under the influence of polylactic acid.
All lifting threads have special notches that are securely fixed in the facial tissues, thereby tightening its contour. The effect of non-surgical lifting is created. A reliable supporting frame is formed around the threads, which will remain in place after the thread has dissolved.
In complex cases, combined treatment protocols are used, consisting of implantation of threads and injection of fillers, or the use of ultrasound and fillers. Also, in combination with these techniques, hyaluronic preparations can be pierced, which will only enhance the rejuvenation effect.
