Book NowFrequently Asked Questions
How Do Laugh Lines Develop?
Laugh lines primarily develop due to collagen loss along natural facial expression lines formed by laughing or smiling. Additionally, volume loss in the cheeks causes skin sagging, leading to more pronounced nasolabial folds. As cheek fat pads diminish, the skin descends towards these folds, creating the characteristic overhanging skin. Dr. Schwarzburg is an expert in these aging mechanisms and offers clinically proven solutions to reduce their appearance.
How Do Nasolabial Fold Fillers Work?
Nasolabial fold fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers into the deep skin folds running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These biocompatible gels add volume and smooth out wrinkles, providing immediate results that last between 9 and 18 months. The treatment targets areas of collagen loss and volume depletion, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance.
Am I a Good Candidate for Nasolabial Fold Fillers?
If you are looking to reduce the appearance of smile lines and rejuvenate your facial aesthetics, you may be an ideal candidate for nasolabial fold fillers. This treatment is particularly beneficial for those experiencing pronounced smile lines due to aging, weight loss, or frequent facial expressions. It is also effective for correcting facial asymmetry and enhancing mid to lower-face contours.
When Should I Avoid Smile Line Fillers?
Certain conditions may contraindicate smile line fillers, such as significant skin laxity, allergies to filler ingredients, or active skin infections in the treatment area. It’s important to consult with Dr. Schwarzburg to determine if this treatment is right for you.
How Do I Prepare for Laugh Line Correction?
Preparation for the procedure is straightforward. Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for at least three days before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising. Plan your treatment well in advance of significant events to allow any potential swelling or bruising to subside.
What Is the Actual Process Like?
The nasolabial fold filler process at Skinly Aesthetics starts with an initial consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg to review your medical history and discuss your aesthetic goals. Next, you will sign consent forms, and take pre-treatment photographs, and the treatment area will be sanitized and numbed.
Dr. Schwarzburg uses advanced injection techniques, including linear threading, fanning and serial puncture, to precisely place the filler into the nasolabial folds, ensuring a smooth, natural look. Following the completion of the procedure you will be provided with a pair of ice packs to help with swelling and minor bruising.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
Smile line injections with Dr. Schwarzburg are quick and efficient and often described as a “lunchtime procedure”, typically requiring about 30-40 minutes from beginning to end.
What Does the Aftercare Involve?
Post-treatment care is simple and involves avoiding pressure on the treated area, maintaining cleanliness, and avoiding makeup for 24 hours. Refrain from vigorous exercise and heat exposure for a few days to minimize swelling and filler migration.
Is There Any Downtime?
There is minimal downtime associated with nasolabial fold fillers. Most patients experience slight swelling or bruising for 3-5 days, but these symptoms are generally mild and resolve quickly.
What Are the Risks and Complications?
Smile line fillers are FDA-approved and safe when performed by an experienced professional like Dr. Schwarzburg. Common side effects include redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness. Rare complications such as lumps and bumps, infection, or asymmetry can be avoided by choosing a board-certified doctor to perform injections.
When Will I See the Results?
Results from parenthesis line fillers are visible immediately, with final results appearing within a week as the swelling subsides and the filler integrates with your skin.
How Long Do Results Last?
The longevity of results varies but typically lasts between 9 and 18 months, depending on factors like filler type and individual metabolism.
How Many Filler Syringes Are Typically Used?
Most patients achieve optimal results with 1-2 syringes of filler in a single session. Dr. Schwarzburg will tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
Is Nasolabial Fold Filler Safe?
Yes, nasolabial fold fillers are safe when administered by a qualified professional like Dr. Schwarzburg, who uses FDA-approved products and techniques.
Do the Injections Hurt?
The parenthesis line injections are generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort due to the use of lidocaine in the fillers and pre-treatment numbing.
What Is the Cost of Smile Line Fillers?
The cost for nasolabial fold fillers in New York ranges from $800 to $1,500 per syringe. New patients at Skinly Aesthetics can benefit from a 20% discount on their first procedure to make medical aesthetics more affordable.
What Is the Best Filler For Nasolabial Folds?
- Juvederm Vollure: Smooth consistency, balanced elasticity, and longevity up to 18 months.
- Restylane Refyne: Offers firmness and flexibility, moving naturally with facial expressions.
- RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid): Designed to adapt to facial dynamics for a natural look.
Complementary Treatments
For a holistic approach to anti-aging and aesthetic enhancement, consider pairing nasolabial fold treatment with the following procedures:
- Cheek filler injections add volume to the cheek region and simultaneously lift the overhanging skin that contributes to the appearance of nasolabial folds.
- Neurotoxins such as Botox and Dysport smooth out wrinkles in other expressive areas of the face, such as the forehead and crow’s feet, ensuring a uniformly refreshed and revitalized appearance across the entire face.
- Skin Resurfacing Techniques like nitrogen gas-derived Pure Plasma skin resurfacing improve skin texture, address pigmentation, and boost collagen production for tight and healthy-looking skin.
- Secret RF skin-tightening microneedling treatment is designed to tighten the skin in the midface to further improve the appearance of smile lines.
Is Nasolabial Fold Filler Worth It?
Absolutely. Nasolabial fold fillers offer a non-surgical, effective solution to reduce smile lines, enhance facial contours, and boost self-confidence.
