You may notice that your nasolabial folds look deeper or that the area around them appears sunken compared to before whenever you look in the mirror. It is said that this sunken appearance may not simply be due to wrinkles, but rather a loss of volume.

It is said that while sunken eyes naturally appear with age, they can also manifest at an early age due to various reasons, such as lifestyle habits or facial structure.

Today, I will summarize everything from the causes of sunken nasolabial folds to home care methods and dermatological procedures.

1. Causes of sunken eyes

Nasolabial fold hollowing refers to a condition where the nasolabial fold area extending from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth does not simply fold, but rather appears sunken due to shadows created by a decrease in the volume of the surrounding tissue.

 

1) Decrease in skin elasticity

First of all, as collagen and elastin decrease with age, the skin's ability to support itself weakens. Consequently, the tissues around the cheeks sag downward, which can make the nasolabial folds appear deeper.

 

2) Reduction in fat volume

It is said that as fat decreases or shifts due to aging, the areas next to the nose or the front of the cheeks may appear sunken, potentially leading to nasolabial folds.

 

3) Facial expression habits

It is said that habits such as laughing or frequently pursing the mouth can repeatedly stimulate the nasolabial folds, potentially causing severe hollowing.

 

4) Innate skeletal structure

Structures such as protruding cheekbones or lips can make shadows form more easily in the nasolabial fold area.

2. Home Care Methods for Nasolabial Folds

If sunken nasolabial folds appear, it can make you look older or accentuate the lines, giving a tired impression, so it is advisable to manage and prevent them through regular home care.

 

1) Use sunscreen

First of all, since a loss of skin elasticity can lead to sunsinking, it is recommended to make a habit of applying sunscreen thoroughly on a regular basis.

3) Relieve facial muscle tension

Reducing habits such as frequently pursing your lips or clenching your jaw can also help prevent sunken mouth lines. In particular, it is recommended to reduce straw usage, as drinking through a straw can heavily strain the muscles around the mouth.

3. Dermatological procedures for managing nasolabial folds

If nasolabial folds are already noticeable, home care alone may have its limitations, so you can seek help from a dermatologist.
