WHAT ARE NASOLABIAL FOLDS ?
The nasolabial fold is also called the labio-nasal fold. It is a vertical wrinkle that runs from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Sometimes this wrinkle is found further down or towards the cheeks. It is important to note that nasolabial folds are natural and present at any age – they are often confused with smile lines, which are expression lines.

HOW DO NASOLABIAL FOLDS FORM ?
Nasolabial folds deepen and become an aesthetic embarrassment as we age. This is because the skin slackens over time, resulting in a loss of skin elasticity and a loss of subcutaneous fat. Hyaluronic acid injections for the nasolabial folds have the advantage of treating the cause of the sagging skin: the loss of tone in the cheek. The aesthetic doctor may use MD Codes to treat several areas of your face in order to harmonise it. Indeed, to treat this sagging (or ptosis), it may be necessary to plump up the entire face by restoring lost volume and lifting the cheeks.

COURSE OF THE NASOLABIAL FOLD INJECTIONS WITH DR THANACODY
First, a consultation is held with Dr. Thanacody to analyze your face, skin, and your needs and expectations. From this, a personalised treatment plan will be put in place.

The aesthetic doctor then proceeds to inject the nasolabial folds with a micro-cannula. The procedure is non-invasive, not very painful and lasts on average 20 minutes.

CONTRAINDICATIONS OF HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS IN THE NASOLABIAL FOLDS
The contraindications and side effects of hyaluronic acid injections in the nasolabial folds are communicated by Dr Thanacody during the first consultation.

It is advisable to avoid this procedure in cases of pregnancy or breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases or diseases affecting the immune system, hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid, or skin infection.

THE RESULTS OF HYALURONIC ACID ON THE NASOLABIAL FOLDS
After an injection session on the nasolabial folds, the results are visible immediately and are optimal a few days later. The nasolabial folds are visibly filled in and your face looks younger, firmer and less tired
