Understanding Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)
Nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth. They can deepen with facial movement, volume changes and reduced skin support.
Repeated Expression
Everyday expressions crease the skin in the same places. Over time, these temporary lines can remain visible even when the face is at rest.
Collagen, Elastin & Hydration
As skin ages, it becomes less resilient and holds less moisture. Fine lines deepen more easily when collagen and elastin levels decline.
Sun & Lifestyle Factors
Sun exposure speeds up visible skin ageing by damaging collagen. Smoking, stress and dehydration can further accentuate lines and make the skin look less smooth.
