How to Get Rid of Nasolabial Folds

Treatment of Nasolabial Folds in Berlin

Wrinkles that appear between the sides of the nose and the corners of the mouth are called nasolabial folds or nasolabial lines. They make the face look older, and the facial expression appears tired and sad. It’s no coincidence that this wrinkle used to be called a „worry line.“ In this article, we answer the most important questions about nasolabial folds.

How do nasolabial folds form?

• Facial muscles

First and foremost, the formation of nasolabial folds is linked to the constant activity of our facial muscles. We eat, drink, talk, laugh, and make facial expressions—all of which cause the nasolabial folds to become deeper and deeper over time.

• Moisture loss

As we age, the skin loses moisture and elasticity. The skin's structure changes, and this is reflected in the appearance of various wrinkles.

• UV light

Sun protection should be the cornerstone of your beauty routine. Too much UV light damages the skin and accelerates the formation of wrinkles.

• Bad Habits

A lot of stress and little sleep, along with excessive nicotine and alcohol consumption, cause wrinkles to form faster than you'd like.

• Significant weight fluctuations

Rapid weight loss can cause the cheeks to sag quickly, which accelerates the formation of nasolabial folds.

How can I get rid of my nasolabial folds?

The simplest and most cost-effective way to get rid of nasolabial folds is the Facial Exercises. However, you should be careful with this method. If the exercises are chosen incorrectly, facial exercises can actually cause even more damage. It’s best to consult a face fitness professional who can show you the right exercises.

Botox and Hyaluronic Acid Injections These are effective treatments—simple and quick methods that deliver immediate, visible results. For example, Botox relaxes the muscles around the upper lip and the sides of the nose to smooth out nasolabial folds. This method isn’t suitable for everyone, but it can eliminate wrinkles caused, for example, by pronounced facial expressions. Hyaluronic acid injections help hydrate the skin, initiate a regenerative process, and correct wrinkles. If necessary, the two methods can be combined.
