Nasolabial fold: how to improve its appearance with advanced aesthetic medicine

With the passage of time, it’s natural for signs of facial aging to appear, such as wrinkles, loss of firmness, and more pronounced expression lines. One of the most common folds is the nasogenian fold, also known as the nasolabial fold. Although it’s part of the facial anatomy, it can become more pronounced with age, affecting the harmony and youthfulness of the face. At MedYDerma Clinic, we’ll tell you what it is, why it forms, and how it can be treated safely and effectively.

What is the nasolabial fold?

The nasolabial fold is the line that extends from the sides of the nose to the corners of the lips. Starting at age 30, this fold begins to become more visible due to the natural loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin, as well as the decrease in volume in the cheeks and cheekbones.

As the skin loses its regenerative and supportive capacity, these folds deepen, giving the face a tired or aged appearance.

Why does it appear?

Although aging is a main cause, other factors influence the formation of the nasolabial fold:

Genetics and individual facial structure
Repetitive or intense gesticulation
Loss of facial fat
Unprotected sun exposure
Habits such as smoking

Lack of proper cosmetic care

✨ How to improve the nasolabial fold?

Although daily skin care and a healthy lifestyle can delay their appearance, when the crease is already marked, aesthetic medicine offers effective, non-invasive solutions with natural results.

1. Skincare Routine

The first step is to adopt proper cosmetic habits with deep hydration, use of antioxidants, retinol, and sun protection. These products help improve skin texture and smooth fine lines.

2. Facial Massages

Incorporating massages stimulates circulation and improves muscle tone, contributing to a firmer, healthier appearance.

Aesthetic treatments for the nasolabial fold

At MedYDerma Clinic we offer different treatments, which can be combined with each other, depending on the condition of the fold and the facial characteristics of each patient:

1. Hyaluronic acid filler

An effective and safe technique to restore lost volume and tighten the skin. It is applied to specific areas such as the cheekbones and cheeks, achieving a lifting effect without adding unnecessary volume. The result is a younger and more balanced face.

2. Collagen inducers

Substances such as calcium hydroxyapatite stimulate natural collagen production, providing firmness, elasticity, and a progressive improvement in the skin fold.

3. Advanced rejuvenation technologies

HIFU (Intensely Focused Ultrasound) Ultraformer III: stimulates the deep layers of the skin to achieve a natural lifting effect, without surgery. Ideal as a preventative treatment.
Microneedling Radiofrequency: Improves skin firmness by stimulating collagen and elastin from within.

Tense Threads: In specific cases, biocompatible threads are placed to lift the skin and smooth facial folds.

Natural, visible and progressive results

Thanks to these treatments, the nasolabial fold is noticeably diminished. The skin appears smoother, firmer, and more radiant, with a relaxed and rejuvenated expression. Furthermore, the procedures are minimally invasive, requiring no surgery or long recovery periods.
