Nasolabial Filler
Tanım ve Amacı
Nasolabial filler, also known as nasolabial fold augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure designed to smooth out and add volume to the nasolabial folds—the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, which become more prominent with aging. Using hyaluronic acid-based fillers, this treatment helps to achieve a younger, fuller, and smoother appearance of the face. Nasolabial fillers are an effective way to reduce the signs of aging and rejuvenate facial contours.
Areas of Application for Nasolabial Filler:
- Nasolabial Folds: Softens the lines extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth and adds volume to this area.
- Cheek Depressions: Can also be used to restore lost volume in the cheeks, enhancing overall facial fullness and youthfulness.

- Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned, and a local anesthetic cream is applied to numb the nasolabial folds.
- Injection: Thin needles or cannulas are used to inject the filler substance into the nasolabial folds. The injection points and amount of filler are customized to suit the patient’s facial anatomy.
