What it involves
The nasolabial fold runs from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth and tends to deepen over the years due to volume loss and sagging of the midface. To address it, Dr. Clara Navarro assesses each face individually and, when indicated, uses hyaluronic acid to fill and support the tissue. The goal is to soften the fold while preserving your expressions and natural look.
Benefits
- Softer fold
- Rested expression
- Natural result
Who is it for?
It may be for you if you notice the fold between your nose and mouth has deepened, giving you a tired or sterner look than you feel. Also if you want a discreet result without changing your features. In your first consultation we assess your face as a whole to confirm whether hyaluronic acid is the right option for you.
What the session is like
The session begins with an assessment to plan where and how much product to apply. We place the hyaluronic acid with precise technique, usually using a small amount and topical anaesthetic for your comfort. The treatment usually takes around 30 minutes and you can return to your routine the same day.
Results and how long they last
You will notice an improvement within the first few days, and the result settles naturally over one to two weeks. How long it lasts varies from person to person and with the type of product, but it usually holds for several months. With occasional check-ups we help maintain the effect over time.
Aftercare
After the session it is normal to notice slight redness or mild swelling that settles quickly. We recommend avoiding intense heat, strenuous exercise and touching the area during the first 24 hours. Follow the instructions we give you and contact the clinic with any questions.
