Nasolabial Fold Filler
DURATION
A nasolabial fold filler appointment at The Spa by Sheena lasts 30 to 45 minutes, including topical numbing, the consultation, and the placement of filler.
PROCEDURE TYPE
Nasolabial fold filler at The Spa by Sheena is classified as a cosmetic procedure, used electively to soften smile lines rather than to treat a medical condition.
BODY AREA
Nasolabial fold filler at The Spa by Sheena is administered on the face, placed along the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
INDICATION
Nasolabial fold filler at The Spa by Sheena treats deep smile lines and the mid-face descent that creates pronounced folds, often combined with cheek filler for full correction.
THE PROTOCOL
What is nasolabial fold filler?
Nasolabial fold filler addresses the deepening lines that run from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth (also called "smile lines" or "parentheses lines"). Hyaluronic acid filler is placed along the fold to soften the line and lift the surrounding tissue.
What to expect from your nasolabial filler appointment
A filler session typically runs 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area. The injector cleanses the treatment area, applies topical numbing if needed, then places product with either a needle or a blunt-tipped cannula. Many fillers also contain lidocaine for in-injection comfort.
Some swelling and bruising are normal for the first few days. Lip filler patients often look noticeably swollen for 24 to 72 hours; cheek and jawline filler swelling is usually subtler. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and blood thinners (aspirin, fish oil, NSAIDs) for 24 to 48 hours to minimize bruising.
Final results settle in over 2 to 4 weeks as swelling resolves and the product integrates. Duration varies by product and area: 6 to 12 months for lip filler, 12 to 24 months for cheek and jawline.
Benefits of Botox
SOFTENED SMILE LINES
Smooths the deep folds running from nose to mouth for a more youthful appearance.
REFRESHED LOOK
Reduces the "parentheses" lines that contribute to looking older or tired.
NATURAL MOVEMENT
Medium-density filler integrates with the active facial muscles—moves naturally with expression.
COMBINES WELL
Often paired with cheek filler since restored mid-face volume lifts the fold from above.
PROVEN RESULTS
Hyaluronic acid filler is the gold standard for nasolabial fold softening.
THE APPOINTMENT
Inside a nasolabial filler appointment
Nasolabial fold filler is a non-surgical treatment designed to soften the appearance of smile lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Using dermal filler, this treatment helps restore volume, smooth deeper folds, and create a more refreshed, youthful appearance while maintaining natural facial movement.
GOOD TO KNOW
How nasolabial filler compares to cheek filler
Compared to surgical facial rejuvenation procedures, nasolabial fold filler provides noticeable results with minimal downtime and without the need for surgery. It is a great option for clients seeking a smoother, softer appearance with a quick and minimally invasive treatment.
FAQ
Your questions, answered
We’ve answered some of the most common questions below to help make your experience simple, transparent, and stress-free.
Nasolabial folds are the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth—often called "smile lines" or "parentheses." They deepen with age due to: loss of mid-face volume (cheek descent), repeated smiling/expression, sun damage breaking down collagen, and skin laxity. Filler can directly soften them; treating the underlying cheek volume loss often produces the most natural result.
What are nasolabial folds and what causes them?
Realistic expectation: significant softening, not complete elimination. Deep nasolabial folds may be reduced 50–80% with appropriate treatment. We often recommend treating the cheek area first (or simultaneously)—restoring mid-face volume lifts the fold from above, achieving better results than just filling the fold itself.
Will filler completely eliminate nasolabial folds?
Typically 1 syringe total for both sides. Patients with deeper folds may need 1.5–2 syringes. Combining with cheek filler often reduces the amount needed in the fold itself.
How much nasolabial fold filler do I need?
Mid-density hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm Vollure, RHA-3, and Restylane Refyne or Defyne. These products are firm enough to provide structure but flexible enough to move naturally with facial expression. Thicker fillers can look unnatural in this active area.
What's the best filler for nasolabial folds?
12–18 months. The area is moderately active (smiling, eating), so longevity is between cheek (very long) and lips (shorter).
How long does nasolabial fold filler last?
Mild discomfort. Topical numbing plus lidocaine in the product. We can use a cannula for less bruising and discomfort. Most patients tolerate well.
Does nasolabial fold filler hurt?
Mild swelling and possible bruising for 2–5 days. Return to normal activity immediately. Final shape at 2 weeks.
What's the recovery?
Nasolabial fold filler runs $800 to $925 per syringe. Common picks: Refyne $850, RHA-3 $800, Vollure $925. Most patients use 1 syringe; deeper folds may need 1.5. We often recommend combining with cheek filler since restoring cheek volume softens nasolabial folds from above.
How much does nasolabial fold filler cost in Lubbock?
Often yes, or both. Loss of cheek volume is a major cause of deeper nasolabial folds—filling the cheeks lifts the fold from above for a more natural result than just filling the fold. We typically recommend a combined approach: some cheek volume + some fold filling for the most natural outcome.
Should I treat the cheeks instead of nasolabial folds?
Book a complimentary consultation. We'll evaluate the underlying anatomy and recommend whether filling the fold, treating the cheeks, or both is right for you. Call (806) 701-5840 or book online.
