What should you know about NuFACE Mini for nasolabial folds?

Nasolabial folds are the lines extending from each side of the nose toward the corners of the mouth. They are influenced by facial movement, skin elasticity, and changes in the soft-tissue volume of the cheeks. A microcurrent device may create a short-term impression of lifted or more defined facial contours, but it does not replace missing volume or reposition tissue.

The depth of a fold can vary when you smile, at rest, or under different lighting. That variation is useful context when deciding whether the concern is a surface crease, facial volume loss, or both.

Follow the NuFACE Mini instructions, use it only on suitable intact skin, and stop if irritation, burning, or persistent swelling develops. Keep photographs consistent if you are evaluating subtle changes.

For a fold that remains prominent, a clinician can assess facial proportions and discuss [Dermal Fillers](/treatments/injectables/dermal-fillers/), a [Collagen Biostimulator Injection](/treatments/injectables/biostimulator-injection/), or a [Thread Lift](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/thread-lift/). The right choice depends on the tissue pattern, medical history, and desired degree of change.

Arrange medical review if a fold appears suddenly with facial weakness, numbness, a new lump, persistent pain, rash, or ulceration. Sudden facial drooping, speech difficulty, or weakness in an arm or leg needs urgent care rather than a device or cosmetic procedure.

Ask whether the fold reflects volume loss or surface creasing, whether NuFACE Mini is suitable for you, which treatment would preserve natural movement, and how the result and follow-up would be assessed.
