Nasolabial Fold Filler

Nasolabial folds, often called smile lines, are the creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. As collagen and facial volume naturally decline over time, these lines can become deeper and more pronounced, affecting overall facial balance.

At You Derma in Ottawa, nasolabial fold filler treatments are designed to soften these folds while maintaining natural expression. Using carefully placed dermal fillers, our experienced injectors restore subtle support and smooth transitions between the mid face and lower face. Results are visible shortly after treatment and continue to refine as the filler settles, leaving the face looking refreshed and naturally balanced.

Restoring Smooth Transitions Through the Mid Face

Nasolabial folds often deepen due to a combination of volume loss and structural changes in the mid face. Treating this area requires more than simply filling a line. Proper assessment of cheek support and facial proportions is essential to achieving natural results.

In some cases, restoring mid face volume may be recommended alongside direct treatment of the folds to create balanced, long lasting improvement. Our approach focuses on conservative placement that softens depth without creating heaviness or altering your natural smile. As the filler settles, the folds appear softer and less defined while maintaining natural facial movement.

Considering Nasolabial Fold Fillers? Here’s What to Expect

1

Before your appointment

Your consultation focuses on facial structure, mid face support, and the depth of your nasolabial folds. We assess whether volume loss in the cheeks is contributing to the appearance of smile lines and create a personalized treatment plan designed to restore balance while preserving natural expression.
2

On the day of your treatment

Please arrive with clean skin and no makeup on the lower face. Nasolabial fold filler treatments are performed using precise injection techniques to soften and support the area. Appointments are typically completed within 30 to 45 minutes, with comfort measures used throughout.
3

After the treatment

Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur and usually resolves within a few days. Results are visible shortly after treatment and continue to refine as the filler integrates naturally into the area. As healing progresses, the folds appear smoother and less prominent while your natural smile remains unchanged.
