Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines, usually appear with age. They can make the face look old and tired. Deep wrinkles in particular often affect the self-confidence of those affected. 

Fortunately, there are numerous ways to treat nasolabial folds, including hyaluronic acid injections. 

In this blog post, we discuss the advantages of this treatment method and explain why Jolifil products are ideal for such treatment.

Treatment option – hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring, sugar-containing molecule found in the skin, joints and other connective tissues. Hyaluronic acid acts as a moisture binder in the skin and contributes to its elasticity and tone. A sterile solution of hyaluronic acid is injected into the wrinkles to fill them and improve the appearance of the skin.

The fact that hyaluronic acid injections are a minimally invasive, non-surgical method of treating nasolabial folds is a significant advantage. 

Hyaluronic acid injections can usually be performed in a short session, unlike surgical procedures, which carry a higher risk and require a longer recovery period. It is also a more cost-effective option than invasive procedures.

There are different types of hyaluronic acid injections. They can be identified by their respective molecular compounds. Hyaluronic acid molecules can be either uncrosslinked or crosslinked.

Unlinked hyaluronic acid is a liquid solution that is quickly absorbed and is typically used to fill in fine lines and wrinkles. In contrast, cross-linked hyaluronic acid is a thicker solution. It lasts longer and is ideal for building volume. 

Treatment with hyaluronic acid offers the following advantages

Safety

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, making it a safe and reliable option for wrinkle treatment.

Immediate results

No downtime Unlike invasive procedures such as a facelift, there is no recovery period with hyaluronic acid injections.

Improved skin appearance

Hyaluronic acid injections can improve skin elasticity and make fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

The different treatment options

There are different types of hyaluronic acid injections available to treat nasolabial folds. These include:

Non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid

This is a smooth, liquid form of hyaluronic acid that is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. It has a short shelf life of three to six months.

Partially cross-linked hyaluronic acid

Partially cross-linked hyaluronic acid is thicker than non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid and is ideal for treating medium-depth wrinkles. It has a longer shelf life of approximately six to nine months.

Fully cross-linked hyaluronic acid

This form of hyaluronic acid is the thickest and is used to treat deep wrinkles and volume loss. It lasts between nine and twelve months.

In hyaluronic acid injection therapy, hyaluronic acid is injected directly into the nasolabial fold using a fine needle. The procedure is relatively painless and usually takes only a few minutes. After the injection, there may be slight swelling or bleeding, but this usually subsides within a few days.
