Nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds are one of the most common signs of facial aging. Besides the loss of collagen with age, their formation is also related to sagging mid-facial fat, displacement of the cheekbones, ligament laxity, and loss of skeletal support. As mid-facial tissue gradually moves downwards, the lines from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth become increasingly prominent, even when expressionless. Deepening nasolabial folds not only make one look tired and older but can also cause the facial contours to lose their youthful appearance, affecting overall complexion and self-confidence. Therefore, they are a major reason why many people seek facial rejuvenation treatments.
