If the line extending from the side of your nose to the corner of your mouth appears deeper than before when you look in the mirror, you may consider a procedure for nasolabial folds. It is said that nasolabial folds can deepen due to a combination of various factors, including decreased skin elasticity, changes in volume, and facial structure.

Today, I will summarize everything from the reasons why nasolabial folds form to the types of treatments available and home care methods.

1. Reasons why nasolabial folds form

1) When skin elasticity has decreased

It is said that as you age, the thickness and elasticity of your skin decrease, causing it to sag and making wrinkles such as nasolabial folds more noticeable.

 

2) In cases where volume has decreased

Even if the nasolabial folds themselves appear deeply etched, the actual cause may be a decrease in volume around the cheekbones or cheeks. It is said that if the area below the cheekbones sinks in, the nasolabial folds can look even deeper.

 

3) Repetitive facial expressions and movements

The muscles around the nose and mouth move repeatedly when you smile or speak. It is said that these repetitive movements can make wrinkles appear more distinct.

2. Types of Nasolabial Fold Procedures

If you are concerned about nasolabial folds, it is said that you can consider the following procedures.

3. Home Care Methods for Nasolabial Folds

If nasolabial folds are already deeply ingrained, it is difficult to completely eliminate them with home care alone, but it is said that it can help prevent additional wrinkles from becoming more prominent.

 

1) Use plenty of moisturizer

It is said that if your skin is dry, fine lines and skin texture become more prominent and skin elasticity may decrease, so it is important to apply plenty of moisturizer after washing your face before your skin dries out.

2) Apply sunscreen consistently

Since exposure to ultraviolet rays can make skin sagging and wrinkles more pronounced, it is recommended to develop a habit of consistently using sunscreen regardless of the season.

3) Do not massage the face too vigorously

Some people try to get rid of nasolabial folds by pulling their face hard or massaging it repeatedly. However, it is advised to be careful, as excessive pressure or friction can actually cause skin irritation.

4. Q&A

1) Can I get a nasolabial fold treatment even if I am in my 20s or 30s?

It is possible, but it is important to first identify the cause of the nasolabial folds rather than focusing on age. This is because in younger individuals, nasolabial folds can be more prominent due to innate facial bone structure or the volume of the area around the nose, rather than skin aging.

 

2) Can deep nasolabial folds be eliminated with lifting alone?
There are individual differences. If skin sagging is the primary cause, a lifting procedure can alleviate nasolabial folds; however, if there is volume loss or structural hollowness, other procedures may be considered in conjunction.

It is said that nasolabial folds are not simply a single wrinkle that appears with age, but rather a change influenced by a complex interplay of factors including decreased skin elasticity, volume loss, sagging skin, facial bone structure, and facial expression movements. Therefore, when choosing a treatment for nasolabial folds, it is important to first identify the underlying cause of the deepening wrinkles rather than blindly selecting a specific procedure.

I hope you refer to the information I shared today and start taking care of your nasolabial folds.
