gently refine nasolabial folds
The nasolabial fold is a fold that extends from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. It runs along the nasolabial region, which is located between the nose and the cheeks. This fold is present in everyone and is caused by the natural movements of the face, such as laughing, talking or smiling. The fold varies in its severity from person to person and can be influenced by factors such as aging, weight loss or genetic factors. A nasolabial fold can make the face look severe. One solution is to inject hyaluronic acid to achieve a fresher and more youthful appearance.

Treatment at a Glance
The treatment
At montis medical, the procedure is carried out by a qualified medical professional. First, a comprehensive consultation takes place in which the patient is informed about the procedure, the possible results and any risks. If there are no medical concerns, treatment can begin.
Before the actual injection, the area to be treated is thoroughly cleaned and in some cases a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any possible discomfort during the injection. The hyaluronic acid is then injected into the nasolabial fold using a fine needle. The professional chooses the amount and exact location of the injection based on the patient's individual needs and desired outcome.
The process is usually quick and causes minimal discomfort. There is usually no downtime required, allowing patients to resume their normal activities following treatment.
After the injection, slight swelling, redness or bruising may occur temporarily, but this usually disappears within a few days. The results of the hyaluronic acid treatment are immediately visible and the nasolabial fold appears smoother and less pronounced. The effect typically lasts several months to a year, depending on the product and individual factors. A refresher treatment can then be carried out to maintain the results.
How do nasolabial folds form?
Nasolabial folds are the wrinkles that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are also known as laugh lines or nose-mouth lines. These wrinkles are caused by a combination of the following factors:
- Natural aging process of the skin
- Genetic predisposition
- Severe weight loss
- UV radiation
Is it possible to prevent nasolabial folds?
Although it is not possible to completely stop the natural aging process, some measures can be taken to slow down or minimize the formation of nasolabial folds:
- sunscreen
- Skin care
- Healthy eating
- quitting smoking
However, implementing these measures alone does not achieve the same result as wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid. For this reason, early treatment with hyaluronic acid is advisable to prevent or delay the formation of wrinkles.
