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.

Procedures that treat Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines)

The right procedure depends on the concern itself, the surrounding anatomy and your goals. That decision is made during consultation.

SMAS Facelift

SMAS Facelift

A SMAS facelift lifts and repositions the superficial musculoaponeurotic system beneath the skin to improve the lower face and jawline. By treating deeper support rather than pulling on skin alone, it can create a more durable and natural-looking correction of facial laxity.
