There are likely many people who are concerned that the line extending from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth looks particularly deep, or that nasolabial folds stand out even when not smiling.

It is said that nasolabial folds can gradually deepen as various causes, such as aging, decreased skin elasticity, and lifestyle habits, work together.

Today, I will summarize everything from the causes of nasolabial folds to home care methods for management and prevention, as well as dermatological procedures that help improve them.

1. Causes of nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds are wrinkles that extend from both sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth, and they are said to be caused by the following factors.

 

1) Aging

First of all, one of the causes of nasolabial folds is skin aging. It is said that as we get older, the supporting ligaments loosen due to aging and gravity, causing the skin to lose elasticity, which can worsen nasolabial folds.

 

2) Sagging cheeks

It is said that nasolabial folds are closely related to sagging cheeks. When the cheek area sags downward, the cheek fat stretches and folds into wrinkles, causing the nasolabial folds to deepen.

 

3) Repetitive facial expression habits

It is said that using the muscles around the mouth extensively when smiling or speaking can easily cause nasolabial folds to form. In particular, habits such as smiling only to one side or tensing the corners of the mouth can deepen these wrinkles.

 

4) Lifestyle habits

Lifestyle habits are also said to be a cause of nasolabial folds. Habits such as sleeping on your stomach or on your side can make nasolabial folds appear deeper.

 

5) Ultraviolet rays

Ultraviolet rays are one of the factors that accelerate skin aging; prolonged exposure to UV rays is said to damage collagen within the skin, leading to reduced elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles.

2. Home Care Management and Prevention Methods for Nasolabial Folds

Once nasolabial folds deepen, it is difficult to completely eliminate them with home care alone, but it is advisable to manage them consistently to prevent them from deepening further. Here are a few ways to care for and prevent nasolabial folds that you can do at home.

 

1) Use sunscreen

Since one of the causes of nasolabial folds is skin aging due to ultraviolet rays, sun protection is essential. You should apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out, and it is recommended to reapply it every 2 to 3 hours.

2) Skin elasticity care

It is important to manage skin elasticity at the same time. It is said that consistently using firming ampoules or moisturizing products helps with managing nasolabial folds.

3) Lifestyle Management

It is said that habitually sleeping on your side or stomach can make nasolabial folds more prominent, so it is advisable to sleep on your back if possible.

3. Dermatological procedures for improving nasolabial folds

If it is difficult to manage nasolabial folds with home care, you can consider dermatological procedures.

2) Do nasolabial folds only appear with age?

That is not necessarily the case. While it is common for nasolabial folds to deepen as skin elasticity decreases with age, they can also appear prominent at a relatively young age due to facial structure or facial expression habits.

The cause of nasolabial folds is not simply age. It is said that they can gradually deepen as various factors, such as loss of elasticity, sagging cheeks, and facial expression habits, work together.
