Effective methods for correcting nasolabial folds

Causes of nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds occur sooner or later in most people and appear for the following reasons:

• age-related loss of skin elasticity due to lack of collagen;
• gravitational ptosis (sagging of facial tissues under the influence of gravity);
• features of the anatomical structure of the face;
• hypertonicity or, conversely, relaxation of the facial muscles;
• genetic predisposition;
• intense facial activity and emotionality of a person;
• incorrect bite, which provokes the early appearance of facial wrinkles;
• bad habits that worsen skin condition;
• lack of fluid intake;
• excess fluid intake, leading to swelling and stretch marks of the skin;
• external factors: sun, wind, ecology;
• stress and nervous tension;
• sudden weight loss, etc.

Contour plastic

Performing contour correction of the face in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle is a common recommendation of many cosmetologists. The essence of the method is the subcutaneous injection of biodegradable substances into the area where wrinkles are located. They fill the folds in the skin and trigger internal rejuvenation processes. Contour correction of the face most often occurs with the use of the following filler drugs:

• With hyaluronic acid. One of the most effective methods of rejuvenation, the results of which last for a period of six months to 18 months .
• With polylactic acid. A highly effective technique, the result after use lasts for 12-30 months. The principle of operation of such a filler is to physically fill the wrinkle from the inside. In addition, collagen production is stimulated, which helps improve skin elasticity.
• Using calcium hydroxylapatite. Such fillers for facial plastic surgery are used for especially problematic skin affected by age-related changes. The substance eliminates pronounced nasolabial folds for up to three years. The drug not only physically fills wrinkles, but also strengthens the natural framework of collagen fibers.

Such procedures are carried out only once and are absolutely safe for humans.

How to remove nasolabial folds?

In cosmetology, there are many methods for eliminating nasolabial folds - from filling with fillers to tightening the oval of the face. A cosmetologist will help you choose the best method for you during a face-to-face consultation, based on your individual characteristics.

Thread lifting

Thread lifting is the introduction of special absorbable caprolactone threads, around which, as they are absorbed, their own fibrous tissue is formed. The upper part of the thread is fixed, and the lower part, due to notches, holds the lifting zone.

Allows you to lift the cheek areas, thereby smoothing out nasolabial wrinkles and achieving a pronounced lifting effect and tightening the oval of the face. Thread lifting is effective for moderately severe gravitational ptosis.

A thread facelift is performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia. After the procedure, no long-term rehabilitation is required and the patient can maintain his usual lifestyle, observing only simple restrictions on the activity of facial expressions in the first days.

The effect after a thread facelift lasts from 2 to 5 years. More details

Correction of nasolabial folds with fillers

This procedure involves replenishing the missing volume and smoothing the tissues by introducing hyaluronic acid fillers into the nasolabial folds using a very thin needle under local anesthesia. This procedure is also safe for health, does not cause rejection, allergic or toxic reactions, and does not leave scars. The result can last from six months to 3 years depending on the chosen drug and skin condition. Hyaluronic acid is excreted from the body on its own. More details

Botulinum toxin injections

Botulinum toxin is a special medical preparation based on highly purified dosed botulinum toxin type A, under the influence of which muscle relaxation occurs, and then wrinkles and folds are smoothed out. The effect of botulinum toxin is reversible - after 3-6 months, the ability to transmit nerve impulses is restored. The result of correction of nasolabial folds using botulinum toxin injections can last up to 9 months, then the procedure must be repeated. Over time, the muscle gets used to being inactive and the interval between repeated procedures increases significantly. More details

Important! Only with a direct examination of your face can a cosmetologist accurately determine which methods of correcting nasolabial folds and dosages of medications will help achieve the desired result in your particular case.

Correction with fillers

Correction of nasolabial folds with fillers is one of the most effective methods of rejuvenation.

Classic – hyaluronic fillers. Among them is Juvederm from the American company Allergan. It is this company that produces the legendary Botox.

A distinctive feature of Juvederm fillers is the high concentration of hyaluronic acid. Therefore, these drugs are used in cases where a powerful, most pronounced effect is required. Fillers are a transparent gel of varying densities, produced in disposable syringes for intradermal injections. The effect of fillers lasts up to 1.5 years.

If wrinkles are very pronounced, then Perlane is used. This is a product of the Swedish company Q-med. Due to its high density, it takes longer to absorb than other hyaluronic acid fillers. The effect of its administration occurs immediately after the procedure and lasts for a year or longer - up to two years. When creating Perline filler, scientists used a special technique for stabilizing hyaluronic acid. As a result, the resorption of the Perlane filler does not reduce, but increases the moisture content in the skin. This process is accompanied by the replacement of filler molecules with water molecules. Thus, the filler not only fills wrinkles and folds, but also provides optimal skin hydration. As the drug is absorbed, this effect does not weaken, but, on the contrary, intensifies.

One of the universal ones is Neauvia Organic filler, created by a group of Italian and Swiss scientists from 100 percent pure hyaluronic acid. And to connect hyaluronic acid molecules together, PEG polymer (polyethylene glycol) is used. It helps the filler stay in the skin for a long time without causing adverse reactions.

Newvia fillers also have amazing elasticity and plasticity. That is, the ability to change shape and size under the influence of external loads and maintain them or return to their original position. Therefore, each filler in the line adapts to the existing anatomical structures and at the same time maintains the required shape for long-term aesthetic correction. Nuvia fillers are able to create the desired volume without causing compression of surrounding tissue, thus always providing natural-looking results. In addition, there is almost no migration of filler in tissues.

In addition to hyaluronic acid, Newvia Organic contains calcium hydroxyapatite. This naturally occurring mineral triggers the formation of new collagen in the skin. As a result, the density, firmness and elasticity of the skin improves, acquiring the ideal double effect of volume and hydration.

After the age of 35, denser fillers are used to fill wrinkles and create the necessary framework to support the skin.

Radiesse from German manufacturers is one of the world's best preparations for smoothing out deep wrinkles. It belongs to a new generation of preparations for facial contouring.

Radiesse differs from gels based on hyaluronic acid in that it can not only smooth out the skin, filling wrinkles, but also activate the process of producing new collagen in the skin due to calcium hydroxyapatite, which is part of the drug (this mineral is also contained in Nuvia fillers). Thus, this filler works not only from the outside, but, above all, from the inside, allowing for long-term improvement in skin quality. The results of Radiesse correction last for a long time. Another undoubted advantage of Radiesse is that it does not attract water, therefore, it can be used even by patients who are prone to edema (for the tired aging morphotype). Hyaluronic fillers are not recommended for them, since hyaluronic acid attracts moisture.

What are fillers?

Fillers are special gel fillers of natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic origin, used in cosmetology to correct age-related defects and fill wrinkles. During the procedure, they are injected into problem injection areas using thin needles.

The main principle of action of fillers is to fill age-related folds, which leads to minimizing their depth, softening facial features, smoothing and visual rejuvenation.

The disadvantage of synthetic and semi-synthetic fillers is their composition: it contains polyacrylamide or siloxane - substances that remain in the body for life. Despite the fact that this feature allows you to obtain the most lasting rejuvenation effect, these drugs are considered unsafe for health, since they often provoke allergies, lymphadenitis, and various types of dermatitis. The danger is also that the body’s reaction may appear at the most unexpected moment, even if the injection correction was carried out a long time ago.

The specialists of the Armida clinic choose only high-quality certified drugs based on a component of natural origin known as “hyaluronic acid”.

Preparations Restylane, Surgiderm, Perlane, Juviderm, Teosyal

They are used with different dosages and slightly differ in the range of functions, however, they are all designed to smooth out existing nasolabial folds and wrinkles. Their safety has been verified by research, time and the experience of many specialists and patients.

The hyaluronic acid in their composition is completely identical to natural, therefore it does not cause rejection or allergic reactions. Therefore, if the question arises about how to reduce nasolabial folds, cosmetologists will definitely recommend hyaluronic preparations. This procedure has few contraindications; correction is carried out at any time of the year and provides good results.

How are fillers selected?

The specialist must select a filler in accordance with individual indications, the nature of the problem, the severity of the nasolabial fold and wrinkles. An equally significant indicator is the age category.

For example, Restylane

and
Surgiderm
are universal fillers, so they can be used to correct age-related changes at almost any age.

Perlane is best suited

, since this drug has a dense content of hyaluronic acid and will cope better with deep nasolabial folds.

Juviderm

– a good remedy for correcting the oval of the face. This drug will help you quickly get rid of age-related defects, making them less visible and deep. If you pay attention to patient reviews, many note that after the procedure, age-related defects are not visible even in photos with poor lighting.

Teosyal

It will not only help remove the nasolabial fold, but will also improve the overall condition of the skin and help supply it with the necessary amount of moisture. Feedback from patients is in most cases positive: many claim that the effect after the Teosyal filler lasted longer than the stated time.

How is nasolabial folds corrected?

Getting rid of signs of fatigue and age is not so difficult, but first the cosmetologist needs to examine the problem areas, assess the nature and extent of the problem, and find out whether there are contraindications to injections. If the patient needs correction of age-related changes, the specialist will definitely explain how to get rid of nasolabial folds, how the procedure works and what the advantage of hyaluronic acid is.

The technique involves several stages:

• pre-treatment of the skin (make-up removal, cleansing and possible use of local anesthesia);
• correction of nasolabial folds (the introduction of filler according to a special scheme by injection will make it possible to get rid of the defect for a long time).

After the procedure, redness and slight swelling may occur at the injection site, but they go away quite quickly on their own.

The procedure time is about 30 minutes.

The first results appear almost immediately after the procedure, but the full effect can be assessed after 7 days.

The result of correction of nasolabial folds

Hyaluronic preparations act gradually. On the day of injections, the skin begins to even out and after a couple of days you can notice improvements in its quality. Approximately a week after the procedure, more pronounced positive changes appear:

• nasolabial folds have become almost invisible;
• the firmness and elasticity of the skin was restored;
• the depth of wrinkles has decreased;
• water balance began to normalize;
• light lifting effect;
• the skin looks soft, moisturized and almost velvety.
