Nasolabial Fold Filler
This article was medically reviewed by Dr. Okan Morkoç

Nasolabial fold filler is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce the appearance of deep lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, commonly known as smile lines or laugh lines. These folds develop naturally as part of the aging process, often due to the loss of facial volume, skin elasticity, and repeated facial expressions. Nasolabial fold fillers are typically composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin that provides hydration and plumpness. By injecting fillers into the targeted area, the skin is lifted and smoothed, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for invasive surgery.
How Does Nasolabial Fold Filler Work?
The nasolabial fold filler procedure involves injecting a gel-like substance, usually hyaluronic acid, into the skin beneath the folds. The filler adds volume and provides structural support, effectively reducing the depth of the folds and enhancing the natural contours of the face. The treatment is minimally invasive, with the use of fine needles or cannulas to ensure precision and comfort. The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes, with results visible immediately. Depending on the type of filler used, the effects can last between 6 to 18 months, with minimal downtime and a quick recovery period.
