What are the treatment options for nasolabial folds?

Nasolabial folds are creases running from the sides of the nose towards the corners of the mouth. Their appearance can reflect facial movement, skin laxity, changes in soft-tissue volume, and the shape of nearby cheeks. A consultation assesses the whole area rather than treating the crease in isolation.

Dermal fillers add volume beneath or around a fold and can provide a visible contour change. Collagen biostimulator injections are intended to encourage gradual support from the skin’s own collagen response. A thread lift places dissolvable threads under the skin to create a lifting effect and may suit selected people. Each option has different downtime, risks, and maintenance needs.

Choose a qualified medical practitioner who can explain the product or device being used, placement, expected timing of results, and alternatives. Share your medical history, allergies, previous fillers, dental procedures, and medicines that affect bleeding. Avoid booking treatment while an active skin infection or significant inflammation is present near the proposed area.

Explore [Dermal Fillers](/treatments/injectables/dermal-fillers/), [Collagen Biostimulator Injection](/treatments/injectables/biostimulator-injection/), and [Thread Lift](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/thread-lift/).

Contact the treating clinic promptly for increasing pain, spreading redness, marked swelling, skin colour change, or a wound that is not settling. Seek urgent medical care for sudden vision changes, severe headache, weakness, or difficulty speaking after an injectable treatment. These symptoms need immediate assessment rather than waiting for a routine review.

Which part of my facial structure is contributing to the fold? Would filler, a biostimulator, or a thread lift address that concern? What product or thread material will be used? How long might swelling last, and what symptoms require urgent contact?
