Nasolabial folds in Puerto Banús, Marbella
Softening the fold that runs from the nose to the corner of the mouth with hyaluronic acid, without surgery. It all starts with a consultation: the doctor looks at the fold and the rest of your face, then suggests an approach or tells you if nothing is needed.
What does it involve?
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run down from the nose to the corners of the mouth. The doctor injects hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the skin, to soften the fold and add volume where it is lacking.
The fold is often better treated indirectly, by adding volume to the cheeks or the sides of the face rather than only along the line itself. That is why the doctor looks at the whole face before deciding where and how much to inject.

Your questions
How long does the result last?
It depends on the product, the area and each person. The doctor gives you an indicative duration for your case in consultation.
Why treat the cheeks if it is the fold that bothers me?
Because the fold often deepens with loss of volume in the mid-face. Adding volume to the cheeks or the sides of the face can improve its appearance. The doctor explains this in consultation.
Is one vial enough?
It depends on the depth of the fold and the approach chosen. The doctor confirms the amount and the quote in writing before starting. Dr Laura J. Leon talks about this in one of the videos on this page.
Is it painful?
We apply an anaesthetic cream before the treatment for your comfort. The sensation varies from person to person.
Is it reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved if necessary, with a specific product and always on medical advice.
