Nasolabial fold fillers*

Nasolabial fold fillers are a quick, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that requires little preparation and no downtime. It involves injecting FDA-approved compounds into the area around the mouth and nose. The injectable contains a skin-volumizing substance such as hyaluronic acid, poly-l-lactic acid, or calcium hydroxylapatite. As we age and lose collagen and elastin in the skin, fat pads shrink and droop, and bone resorption occurs. When this happens, there is less support in the cheek and nasolabial folds appear.
