Deep folds — nasolabial (smile lines), marionette (mouth corner to jaw), glabella — are softened most directly with HA filler. Often combined with mid-face filler to address the underlying volume loss that drives them, and MNRF for surrounding skin texture.

Deep Folds — FAQ
What causes deep folds?
Volume loss in cheeks (mid-face), bone resorption, repetitive expression lines, and skin elasticity loss. Multiple contributors usually present together.
Best treatment?
Hyaluronic acid filler is the most direct treatment. Sometimes augmented by HIFU/MNRF for surrounding skin texture. Treatment is often subtle — overcorrection looks unnatural.
How long does filler last?
12-18 months in nasolabial folds and marionettes. Top-ups smaller than original session.
Can lifestyle help?
Daily SPF + good moisturisation + retinoid + avoiding smoking all slow further fold deepening. They cannot reverse existing folds.
