Laugh lines, those charming creases around your mouth, are often a testament to a life filled with joy and happiness. However, as time marches on, they can become more pronounced, leaving you longing for a smoother, more youthful appearance. If you’re seeking a non-invasive solution to tackle these pesky lines, dermal fillers might just be your new best friend.
What Are Laugh Lines?
Laugh lines, scientifically known as nasolabial folds, are the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. They form naturally over time due to the repeated muscle movements associated with laughing and smiling, as well as the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin as we age.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers are a popular aesthetic treatment designed to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles and lines in the skin. When it comes to laugh lines, these fillers can work wonders. Dermal fillers contain substances like hyaluronic acid or collagen, which are naturally occurring in the body. When injected into the laugh lines, these fillers plump up the area, effectively “filling” the creases and giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.
What Happens During a Dermal Filler Treatment?
Getting dermal filler treatment for your laugh lines is a straightforward process. Here’s a general outline of what you can expect:
- Consultation: You’ll have a consultation one of our Doctors to discuss your goals and any concerns you may have.
- Treatment: During the procedure, the Doctor will cleanse the area, then inject the filler into the laugh lines. The entire process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
- Results: You’ll see immediate results, with fuller, smoother laugh lines. Some mild swelling or redness may occur initially, but this typically subsides within a few days.
