Nasolabial folds are natural features on the face, but if they become too deep, they can make you look older. Dr Nguyen Giap will help you understand more about deep nasolabial folds and explore options for improving this condition.
Understanding Deep Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Factors such as aging, loss of skin elasticity, and genetic predisposition can contribute to the deepening of these folds.
Nasolabial folds are a natural characteristic of each person's face. However, when they become too deep, they can make you appear older and less vibrant.
It is important to note that nasolabial folds can be dynamic wrinkles, which only appear when you smile or make facial expressions, or static wrinkles, which are visible even when your face is at rest.
Causes of Deep Nasolabial Folds
Deep nasolabial folds develop due to several influencing factors, with the primary causes being:
- Aging: Over time, our skin loses the underlying fat in the cheeks and around the eyes, leading to sagging. Additionally, the aging process reduces collagen and elastin levels in the skin, resulting in decreased elasticity and more pronounced nasolabial folds.
- Smoking: Harmful components in cigarettes can damage collagen and elastin, reducing skin elasticity and deepening the nasolabial folds.
- Sun Damage: Free radicals from UV rays in sunlight accelerate skin aging, destroying collagen structure and leading to a loss of elasticity, which contributes to the deepening of nasolabial folds.

To identify deep nasolabial folds, you can look for the following characteristics:
- Wrinkles extending from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. This is the typical path of nasolabial folds.
- Prominent folds even when not smiling. If the folds are clearly visible when your face is at rest, it indicates that they have become deep and are classified as static wrinkles.
- Sagging skin around the folds: Due to a loss of elasticity, the skin surrounding the nasolabial folds may appear droopy.
Deep nasolabial folds can affect aesthetics, making your face look older and less vibrant.
Effective Methods for Reducing Deep Nasolabial Folds
There are several methods available to improve the appearance of deep nasolabial folds, ranging from minimally invasive techniques to surgical options.
Here are some popular approaches:
- Dermal Filler Injections:This method uses fillers to restore volume in areas lacking fullness, thus improving wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin. Commonly used fillers include hyaluronic acid (HA), Poly-L-Lactic acid (PLLA), calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA), and polymethyl methacrylate microspheres (PMMA). The effects of dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 12 months.
- Skin Tightening Technologies: Treatments using ultrasound or radiofrequency can stimulate collagen production and tighten sagging skin, effectively improving the appearance of deep nasolabial folds.
- Surgical Options: In cases where nasolabial folds are excessively deep, cosmetic surgical procedures such as Facelift may provide a more permanent solution. However, this is an invasive method that requires a recovery period.
Selecting the appropriate treatment for deep nasolabial folds depends on the condition of the folds, as well as your personal needs and desires.
