Treating Nasolabial Folds: What Really Works?

Nasolabial folds are among the most common signs of natural skin aging. These lines run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth and can make the face look tired or older. Many people therefore wonder: What really helps against nasolabial folds?

Modern aesthetic medicine offers various options for specifically treating these wrinkles—always with the goal of preserving the face’s natural harmony.

At JUVENIS in Vienna, every treatment is planned individually and tailored to the patient's facial proportions and personal preferences.

Nasolabial folds are, first and foremost, a natural part of facial expression and are present in everyone. However, as we age, they can become more noticeable.

Causes include, among others:

• natural loss of collagen
• Breakdown of hyaluronic acid in the skin
• Loss of volume in the midface
• decreasing skin elasticity
• genetic predisposition
• UV radiation
• Smoking

Often, it is not the wrinkle itself that is the real problem, but rather the loss of volume in the cheeks, which makes the wrinkle more prominent.

The appropriate method depends on the cause and severity of the wrinkles.

In many cases, treatment with hyaluronic acid is the first choice.

Hyaluronic acid can:

• Rebuild volume
• moisturize the skin
• Gently smooth out the crease
• make your face look fresher

In this process, the wrinkle is often not treated directly; instead, the midface is harmoniously contoured. This can often naturally soften the nasolabial fold.

Depending on your skin type, treatments that stimulate the body's own collagen production may also be beneficial.

These include, for example:

• Microneedling
• PRP (plasma therapy)
• certain laser treatments

These treatments improve skin quality and can also have a positive effect on fine lines.

Often, combining several treatments yields the best results. For example, hyaluronic acid can be combined with collagen-stimulating procedures to achieve lasting improvements in both volume and skin quality.

Many people believe that Botox is suitable for all types of wrinkles. In fact, however, nasolabial folds are usually caused not by muscle movements but by loss of volume and the natural aging process. That is why hyaluronic acid is used in most cases.

The duration of the results depends, among other things, on the product used and the individual's metabolism. In many cases, the results last about 6 to 12 months, and in some cases even longer. Regular touch-ups can help maintain the results over the long term.

Modern aesthetic medicine today has a clear goal: to make the face look fresh and rested—not altered. With professional treatment, individual facial features are preserved while wrinkles are gently smoothed out.

At JUVENIS in Vienna, every treatment begins with a detailed analysis of facial proportions and skin quality. Based on this analysis, a personalized treatment plan is developed, designed to achieve natural and harmonious results.

Nasolabial folds are a natural part of the aging process. With modern treatment methods such as hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen-stimulating procedures, they can often be significantly improved.

The right treatment depends on the individual causes and personal preferences. A professional consultation is the first step toward a fresh and natural appearance.
