Nasolabial Fold Filler Treatment in London Clinic
Discover expert dermal filler treatment for nasolabial folds and smile lines at our prestigious London clinic. As we age, the structural integrity of the face changes, often resulting in prominent creases running from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Our specialists excel in softening these nose to mouth lines, helping you maintain a naturally refreshed appearance without compromising your unique facial expressions.
Our clinic specializes in treating nasolabial folds, the deep nose to mouth lines that appear as signs of ageing due to skeletal resorption and fat pad displacement. Using premium hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, we restore lost volume while maintaining natural facial dynamics. Our injectable treatments for smile lines and laugh lines provide immediate aesthetic improvement with minimal downtime, ensuring you look rested rather than “done.”
In the world of medical aesthetics, understanding the anatomy is crucial. The deepening of nasolabial folds is rarely just a skin issue; it is a multi-factorial process involving the midface. Therefore, our approach isn’t just to fill a line, but to harmonise the face.

Before and After: Transformative Results for Nose to Mouth Lines
Picture your face as a canvas where time has left its signature. The distinct lines running from the nose down to the corners of the mouth can create a shadowed, weary look, even when you feel energetic. After treatment with our dermal fillers for nasolabial folds, patients experience a profound yet subtle transformation.
Clinical outcomes typically demonstrate:
Significantly softened smile lines and laugh lines, reducing the “heavy” look of the lower face.
A more youthful midface transition with restored lost volume, lifting the tissues that weigh down on the mouth area.
Natural movement retention, ensuring your smile remains genuine and warm.
Improved skin texture and smoothed fine lines resulting from the hydration properties of the injectable.
Restored facial harmony by addressing signs of ageing in a holistic manner.
Most remarkable is how these changes appear entirely natural – as though time simply moved more gently across your features, with no obvious signs that fillers are administered. We document these changes meticulously. Viewing before-and-after photos during your consultation helps align your expectations with realistic clinical possibilities.
What are Dermal Fillers for Nasolabial Folds? Treatment Overview
Think of nasolabial fold fillers as sophisticated scaffolding beneath your skin. These specialized dermal fillers, crafted from hyaluronic acid (a naturally occurring substance in your body), work like time’s eraser, gently filling the creases that develop between your nose and mouth corners. Unlike the rigid fillers of the past, modern formulations are specifically designed to maintain flexibility while supporting natural facial movements.
The Science of Hyaluronic Acid
The science behind these treatments lies in their ability to integrate with your tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a vital natural component of the skin that creates volume and hydration. In our clinic, we use cross-linked hyaluronic acid gels. The “cross-linking” process turns the liquid hyaluronan into a stable gel that lasts for months. This gel provides support while maintaining natural facial dynamics.
Our line filler treatments effectively address the appearance of nose-to-mouth folds by injecting filler products precisely where volume has been lost. When we inject into the deep dermis or subcutaneous layer, the filler acts as a cushion, elevating the depressed skin and reducing the shadow that defines the fold.
Our Specialized Nasolabial Fold Filler Process & Consultation
A successful nasolabial filler treatment begins long before the needle touches the skin. It starts with a comprehensive medical assessment.
Consultation Phase (30 minutes)
This is the most critical part of your journey. We conduct a detailed facial analysis examining fine lines and wrinkles, bone structure, and skin elasticity.
Medical history review: We check for contraindications, autoimmune conditions, or previous treatments.
Personalised treatment plan customization: We determine if you need direct treatment of the fold or if cheek filler is required to “lift” the heavy skin off the fold.
Photography: High-resolution imaging for tracking progress of your smile lines or laugh lines.
Preparation (15 minutes)
Comfort and sterility are our priorities.
Gentle facial cleansing with hospital-grade antiseptics (Chlorhexidine or Alcohol).
Numbing cream application (topical lidocaine) to ensure a comfortable experience.
Precise marking of injection sites around the nasolabial folds and potential danger zones (blood vessels).
Treatment Delivery (30-45 minutes)
We employ advanced techniques, often choosing between a needle (for precision) and a cannula (a blunt-tipped instrument that reduces bruising risk).
Strategic layered injections of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers.
Progressive enhancement technique: We inject small amounts slowly to avoid overfilling.
Regular assessment of symmetry by having you smile and animate your face.
Fine-tuning adjustments to ensure the transition from the nose to the corners is seamless.
During your personalized treatment with fillers, our experts carefully assess the depth of your nasolabial folds and determine the appropriate amount of filler needed. The hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are administered precisely along the lines running from the side of the nose down to the corners of the mouth, addressing both fine lines and deeper wrinkles. We may also place support boluses near the pyriform aperture (the bony opening of the nose) to push the fold outward from the deep skeletal level.
Immediate Aftercare (15 minutes)
Cool compress application to minimize swelling.
Post-treatment instructions for optimal results (avoiding heat, exercise, and makeup for 24 hours).
Follow-up scheduling to review the final outcome.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Smile Lines and Laugh Lines
Patients often report not just physical changes, but a boost in psychological well-being. Transform your appearance with these remarkable advantages:
Immediate visible improvement: You leave the clinic looking refreshed. The change in the appearance of nasolabial folds is instant.
Natural-looking results: Using high-quality hyaluronic acid fillers ensures the area doesn’t look stiff or “puffy.”
Enhanced facial harmony: By addressing loss of volume, we rebalance the facial features, drawing attention back to the eyes and away from the lower face.
Preserved facial expressions: Despite treatment with fillers, your ability to smile, talk, and emote remains completely intact.
Minimal recovery time: Compared to surgical options like a facelift, the downtime is negligible.
Boosted skin hydration: The hydrophilic (water-loving) nature of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid improves local skin quality.
Collagen Stimulation: Evidence suggests that the physical stretching of fibroblasts by the filler can stimulate new collagen production, aiding gradual aging prevention.
Nasolabial fillers not only smooth the appearance of nose-to-mouth folds but also restore lost volume in cheeks that can contribute to the deepening of nasolabial folds. As a naturally occurring substance in your body, hyaluronic acid fillers integrate seamlessly with your tissues for natural-looking results.
Comprehensive Nasolabial Folds Treatment Options in London
No two faces are identical, and therefore, no two treatment plans should be the same. We have developed specialized approaches for our nasolabial filler treatment based on the severity of ageing changes:
Subtle Enhancement
This approach is perfect for early intervention and mild folds. We use a lower density filler to address fine lines with minimal amounts of filler. This “airbrushing” technique hydrates the crease without adding bulk, ideal for younger patients noticing the first signs of ageing.
Deep Fold Correction
This involves targeted treatment for pronounced nasolabial lines using advanced injection techniques. For deep folds, we often layer products: a denser filler deep on the bone to provide lift, and a softer filler closer to the surface to smooth the skin. This multi-plane technique ensures longevity and smoothness.
Combined Rejuvenation (The “Liquid Lift”)
Often, the nasolabial fold is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is often volume loss in the cheeks. This comprehensive treatment addresses multiple facial areas including cheek filler to support the nasolabial region. By restoring the cheek apex, we naturally pull the skin back, diminishing the fold without injecting it directly.
Maintenance Program
Ageing is a dynamic process. We offer scheduled treatments to maintain optimal results and prevent deepening of lines. Regular “tweakments” usually require less product than the initial correction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nasolabial Fillers and Lines Treatment
How long does filler in nasolabial folds last?
Typically, nasolabial fold fillers maintain their effect for 9 to 12 months. However, clinical data indicates that the longevity depends on the specific product used (its cross-linking density) and the patient’s metabolic rate. We’ve observed that patients following our prescribed skincare regimen and avoiding excessive UV exposure often enjoy results lasting up to 15 months. Areas with high mobility, like the smile line, may metabolize filler slightly faster than static areas.
Is filler good for nasolabial folds?
Yes, fillers excel at treating nasolabial folds when properly administered by a medical professional. They are particularly effective because they address both the surface crease and underlying volume loss. Think of them as restoration rather than mere line-filling – they rebuild your facial structure’s natural support system by restoring lost volume around the nose and the mouth. For many, it is the non-surgical gold standard.
What are the disadvantages or risks of nasolabial fold fillers?
While generally safe, as with any medical procedure, there are considerations. Potential side effects include:
Temporary swelling (2-3 days).
Possible bruising at injection sites.
Initial tenderness.
Rare risk of vascular occlusion (which is why seeing an expert who knows anatomy is vital).
Asymmetry (usually correctable).
However, these risks are minimized through expert technique, the use of cannulas, and proper patient selection at our London clinic. We discuss all potential adverse events during the consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
Is 1ml of fillers enough for nasolabial folds?
For mild to moderate nasolabial folds, 1ml (split between both sides) often provides satisfactory improvement. However, deep folds or cases requiring comprehensive facial balancing may benefit from 2-3ml, perhaps distributed between the cheeks and the folds. We determine precise amounts during your consultation, considering your facial anatomy and desired outcome. It is often better to under-fill and add more later than to over-fill.
How do hyaluronic acid dermal fillers work for nasolabial folds?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that attracts and binds water molecules, creating volume beneath the skin surface. When injected into the nasolabial folds, it acts physically to occupy space, pushing the skin upwards to flatten the fold. Simultaneously, it hydrates the dermis. It restores lost volume and smooths the appearance of these lines while supporting the surrounding tissues.
Can filler treatments be combined with lip filler or other facial treatments?
Yes, many patients choose to combine nasolabial fold treatments with other procedures like lip filler, cheek enhancement, or Btx for wrinkles to achieve a comprehensive rejuvenation approach. Treating the nose to the corners of the mouth often complements lip augmentation beautifully. During your consultation, we can discuss a personalised treatment plan that addresses all your concerns in a single session or staged approach.
How soon will I see results after my nasolabial folds treatment?
You will notice immediate improvement in the appearance of your nasolabial folds following treatment; the “lift” is instant. However, the result may look slightly exaggerated initially due to mild swelling. The final, settled results will be visible once any minor swelling subsides and the filler integrates with the tissue, typically within 3-7 days after your filler procedure. We recommend waiting two weeks before judging the final aesthetic outcome.
Does the injection hurt?
Most modern dermal fillers for nasolabial folds contain a built-in anaesthetic called lidocaine. Additionally, we apply a potent topical numbing cream before the procedure. Most patients report feeling a pinch or mild pressure, but not acute pain. Our technique is gentle, and we pace the treatment to your comfort level.
Can fillers migrate from the nasolabial area?
While migration is possible with any filler treatment, it is less common in the nasolabial folds compared to the lips. Migration usually occurs due to overfilling or poor injection technique. By using the correct product density and placing the filler at the correct depth (deep for volume, superficial for fine lines), our experts ensure the product stays exactly where it is placed to smooth the smile line.
What should I avoid after the treatment?
To ensure the best results and minimize bruising, we advise avoiding:
Strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
Alcohol consumption for 24 hours (increases bruising risk).
Saunas, steam rooms, or extreme heat for 48 hours.
Massaging the treated area unless instructed by your doctor.
Applying makeup over the injection points for at least 12 hours.
