If you’ve noticed deeper lines running from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth, you’re seeing one of the most common concerns patients bring to Infinity Wellness in Brunswick, Ohio. These lines can make your face look tired even when everything else about your skin looks healthy.
Because these lines are closely tied to midface volume, treatment usually starts by evaluating how much support the cheeks and surrounding tissue have lost.
Nasolabial folds exist on every face, even young ones, since they mark a natural transition in facial structure. What changes with age is how deep and defined that crease becomes, largely because the cheeks lose volume and the skin above the fold loses support.
According to a study published in the American Journal of Pathology, collagen production declines steadily with age, contributing directly to the midface volume loss that deepens these folds over time.
In some patients, the skin itself has thinned and lost elasticity, making the fold appear more pronounced even without dramatic volume loss.
Over many years, some folds become quite deep and etched into the skin, sometimes requiring a layered approach involving both filler and skin-quality treatments for the best result.
Patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, including through medical weight loss programs, often notice these lines deepen as facial fat decreases and the cheeks lose some of their earlier fullness.
Here, the fold deepens primarily because the cheek has lost fat and support. Restoring volume in the mid-face is usually the most direct way to soften the crease.
Your provider will assess your nasolabial folds, midface volume, and skin quality to determine the right filler type and placement for natural-looking results.
Dermal fillers are our primary treatment, restoring lost volume in the cheeks and midface to soften the appearance of these lines using FDA-approved hyaluronic acid products.
For patients who also have looser skin in the area, we may recommend Luxora skin tightening alongside fillers for a more complete, natural-looking result. Browse our full services list to see how these treatments fit together.
Dermal fillers are typically the most effective first step, since they directly address the volume loss behind these lines.
Depending on the product used, results typically last from six months to over a year.
Most fillers include a numbing agent, and patients describe only mild discomfort during injection.
Daily sunscreen and early collagen-supporting treatments can slow the progression of these lines.
No, your provider uses a conservative approach focused on natural, balanced results.
Yes, many patients pair fillers with skin tightening for a more complete rejuvenation.
If nasolabial folds have started to bother you, a consultation can help determine whether volume loss, skin quality, or both are behind the change. Schedule a visit with Infinity Wellness to explore your options.
