Nasolabial furrows

Nasolabial furrows are folds of skin that run vertically from the nose line to the mouth corners. The furrows deepen with age and cause the cheeks to droop and the facial oval to appear serious and sad The so-called inverted triangle proportions, which are characteristic of young faces, thus disappear.

The loss of skin density and elasticity is difficult to accept for many people, especially women. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine is able to cope with the processes of skin ageing by improving its firmness. In Zakrzewscy Clinic we offer many non-invasive and minimally invasive therapies which effectively eliminate deep nasolabial furrows and rejuvenate the facial oval.

Why nasolabial furrows look more visible?

Deepened nasolabial furrows are a sign of the natural aging process occurring in the skin. With age, subcutaneous fat and hyaluronic acid declines, and collagen and elastin, which are responsible for good skin tone, break down. As a result, the skin becomes flabby and the face appears slimmer and more "mature.” Wrinkles tend to be more pronounced in people with dry, thin skin and pronounced facial expressions.

For some, the process of deepening nasolabial furrows and sagging of the facial oval is more rapid due to additional factors such as excessive skin exposure to UV radiation, prolonged exposure to polluted air and cigarette smoke, poor diet, and excessive alcohol consumption. Noticeable loss of skin firmness on the face can also occur as a result of rapid weight loss.

Treatments to reduce nasolabial furrows

Aesthetic medicine clinics offer many treatments designed to increase the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin, stimulate skin cells to intensively produce collagen, firm flabby areas of the face, and eliminate existing furrows and wrinkles.

Among firming treatments we distinguish non-invasive therapies and more or less invasive therapies, which are often associated with a period of convalescence. Depending on the type of therapy, positive effects may be visible almost immediately or only after several months after completion of a series of treatments.

Who can undergo skin firming therapies?

Most people can safely undergo treatments to improve skin firmness and tone. The fastest positive effects of treatments are observed in people who:

  • have a normal body weight,
  • eat healthy,
  • do not smoke cigarettes,
  • protect their skin from the sun’s rays and avoid solarium,
  • have skin with slight signs of flabby.

For minimally invasive firming therapies, contraindications to the procedure include:

  • pregnancy,
  • skin infection,
  • certain medications.

Before undergoing an invasive procedure to reduce nasolabial furrows, it is a good idea to seek the advice of an experienced aesthetic physician to avoid unwanted side effects of the procedure.

Treatments reducing nasolabial furrows and improving facial oval in the Zakrzewscy Clinic of Aesthetic Medicine and Dermatology

In the Clinic we offer our Patients a number of modern therapies that effectively firm the skin by eliminating unsightly nasolabial furrows and restoring a youthful oval face. Patients can benefit from treatments performed by a cosmetologist and from treatments that interfere more strongly in the skin structure =, but bring a better effect of firming, which are performed by a physician of aesthetic medicine.

Treatments with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally occurring in the human body, provide very good results. Hyaluronic acid improves the skin's elasticity and hydration, but it becomes less and less abundant with age. Therefore, the most effective way to restore skin firmness is to provide hyaluronic acid directly into the skin.

We offer our Patients minimally invasive procedures to correct hyaluronic acid deficiencies such as:

  1. Volumetric Lifting and Needle Mesotherapy, which involve subcutaneous injection of hyaluronic acid, thanks to which nasolabial furrows become shallower and the face looks younger and more radiant.
  2. Calcium Hydroxypatite (Crystalys) involving subcutaneous injection of Crystalys to fill in wrinkles and stimulate the skin to produce new collagen fibers.

Good results in firming the skin and delaying the aging process are also brought by non-invasive treatments aimed at stimulating collagen and elastin production in the skin such as:

  1. SonoQueen, which is the stimulation of collagen production using ultrasound waves.
  2. Thermolifting using Alma Pixel CO2 laser.
  3. Endermology Treatment using an innovative device LPG Alliance Endermolift, which in a natural way stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to intense collagen production.
  4. Acoustic Wave improves cellular metabolism using acoustic and vibrational waves.
  5. Platelet Rich Plasma therapy that effectively stimulates cells to produce collagen and elastin.
  6. PQ Age Peeling, which deeply revitalizes the skin.

Treatments firming and reducing nasolabial furrows are preceded by a medical consultation, during which the physician reviews the Patient’s expectations and proposes appropriate treatments. During the therapy the Patient’s skin condition is constantly monitored.

Patients in Zakrzewscy Clinic can also benefit from firming treatments for other parts of the body:
