MidFaceRevive: Fillers

Nasolabial folds, often known as laugh lines or smile lines, are the creases in your skin that extend from both sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.

As you age, these lines can become more prominent as your cheekbones flatten and gravity pulls down the loose skin in the area. A large amount of weight loss or weight gain can also accentuate the nasolabial folds.

The use of dermal fillers is an option, involving 1-3 sessions in which the face is "sculpted". The maximum result is observed about a month after the last session. In order to preserve the result, you will visit the doctor once every six months to a year to review the results. There is research evidence that follow-up treatments performed before the filler material have completely dissipated, resulting in a longer and better effect of the fillers.

Side effects are generally minor and include bleeding and swelling in the injection area. Avoid scheduling treatments within 7-10 days of social events, important meetings, or photography sessions.

Marionette lines are the lines that run vertically between the mouth and chin that present themselves as you age. With less collagen and elastin in your skin, your skin begins to lose its elasticity, resilience, and stretchiness.

Botulinum toxin injections will blur the existing wrinkles and prevent the formation of new ones. The injected botulinum toxin injections relax the muscles that cause wrinkles and thus give the skin a smoother and younger appearance. The initial results can be seen a few days after the injection, but only after two weeks, you can see the final result which lasts 3-4 months but can be shorter or longer. Combining botulinum toxin injections is sometimes recommended with additional treatments (mainly fillers or skin stimulants) to maximize the treatment result. The use of dermal fillers is also an option, involving 1-3 sessions in which the face is "sculpted". The maximum result is observed about a month after the last session.
