If the line extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth looks deep, it can make you feel older than you actually are. These wrinkles that run down from both sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth are called nasolabial folds.

Many people are curious about how to get rid of nasolabial folds.

Today, I will summarize everything from the causes of nasolabial folds and home care methods you can do at home, to how to get rid of them through dermatological procedures.

1. Causes of nasolabial folds

It is said that nasolabial folds are a natural change that can occur in everyone to some degree, and can be caused by the following factors.

 

1) Decrease in skin elasticity

As we age, collagen and elastin in the skin gradually decrease. It is said that when the elastic structure weakens, the skin sags easily, and nasolabial folds can deepen.

 

2) Repetitive muscle use habits

Repetitive use of the muscles around the mouth when smiling or speaking can make wrinkles more pronounced. In particular, behaviors that involve the repetitive use of these muscles, such as frequently using straws, pursing the lips, or smoking, are said to cause nasolabial folds.

 

3) Sleeping position

Sleeping posture is also said to be a cause of nasolabial folds. Habits such as sleeping on your stomach or side can make these wrinkles appear deeper. It is said that having one side of the face pressed against the pillow for a long time can make the wrinkles more distinct.

2. Home Care Methods to Get Rid of Nasolabial Folds

If you search for ways to get rid of nasolabial folds, various methods such as massage and stretching appear. It is said that home care helps manage the wrinkles to prevent them from deepening, rather than completely eliminating them.

 

1) Use sunscreen

UV protection is crucial for managing nasolabial folds. Since UV rays can cause a decrease in skin elasticity, it is said to be important to apply sunscreen thoroughly before going out.

2) Stretching around the mouth

It is said that doing stretches to relax the facial muscles is also helpful. First, you can stretch by making an 'Ah' sound and tapping the area around your mouth more than 10 times with your hands, which are lightly clenched, and then continuing to tap the area around your mouth while pronouncing 'A-E-I-O-U' in order.

 

3) Improvement of lifestyle habits

It is said that pursed lips tightly when using a straw can make nasolabial folds more prominent, so it is advisable to get into the habit of pouring beverages into a cup whenever possible. Additionally, avoiding smoking is also said to help prevent nasolabial folds.

 

4) Improve sleep habits

Sleeping with one side of your face pressed against a pillow for a long time can make your nasolabial folds appear deeper on that side. It is said that sleeping on your back, facing the ceiling, is the best option.

3. How to Get Rid of Nasolabial Folds (Dermatological Procedures)

If your nasolabial folds are already deeply ingrained or you feel they are difficult to improve with home care alone, you may consider dermatological procedures. Here are a few ways to get rid of nasolabial folds using dermatological treatments.

4. Q&A

1) What is the reason why nasolabial folds are deeper on only one side?

Habits such as sleeping on one side, resting your chin on your hand, or chewing on one side can have an impact. If one side appears significantly deeper than the other, it is advisable to review your lifestyle habits.

 

2) Which is better, filling in volume to nasolabial folds or performing a lifting procedure?
If nasolabial folds appear deep due to hollowness, you may consider collagen boosters or fillers; however, if they appear deep due to sagging cheeks, a lifting procedure may be more suitable. In reality, since both causes often coexist, it is recommended to determine the appropriate course of care through a consultation.
