Nasolabial Fold Filler
Nasolabial fold filler softens smile lines by supporting the fold with hyaluronic acid or, in some cases, a collagen-stimulating filler. Because folds often come from midface descent, your doctor may treat the cheek as well for a natural result. It takes about 10–20 minutes with numbing cream.
