Deep nasolabial fold
Deep nasolabial folds can occur due to the natural ageing process, making lines between the nose and corners of the mouth more visible.
Our specialists use dermal filler for your nasolabial folds to soften them, making your face look fresher and younger again.

A (too) deep nasal lip fold can give you a sullen, tired or even gloomy look. No matter how cheerful you are and how much you smile. Does it bother you that your appearance doesn’t match how good you feel? Do you find the deep lines around your mouth, which usually appear after you get a little older, distracting? If so, a filler treatment for the nasolabial fold can make a world of difference. It can even affect your mood! With this filler treatment, the folds between your nose and lips will disappear and you will regain your original contour and fresh look. This treatment is often combined with a botox treatment for drooping corners of the mouth. So you get an even more beautiful result. During a personal consultation we will discuss what will work best for you.

The nasolabial fold is the line that runs from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth, like a kind of “gutter”. Sometimes the line extends toward the jaw as well. This fold is naturally present, but it deepens as we age. This is because the bone of the cheekbone and upper jaw shrinks, causing more subcutaneous fatty tissue to sink down from the cheeks and cheekbones. The weight presses on the nasolabial fold and creates a dark shadow in the face. This can give a severe appearance even when you are cheerful. Because the skin is permanently “folded,” it no longer recovers, creating a deep wrinkle that is clearly visible. The nose-lip fold can be treated well early on with a filler that fills the fold and the skin wrinkle immediately. Treating this type of line early prevents the skin from forming irreversible wrinkles.

After we welcomed you in the clinic, a short, preparatory conversation will follow and we will take photos to be able to see the results before and after treatment. Then the treatment begins and a number of punctures are made to fill the nasolabial fold. How much filler we use depends a bit on your age. A minimal amount of filler can give a very natural result in younger people. When you are between 40 and 50, a little more filler is usually needed, and after age 50 a liquid facelift is always needed to get the best results.
The deep lines between your nose and mouth fade away, your face regains a natural, cheerful attitude and you get a rested look. You do not have to worry about losing your facial expression, because at the Van Rosmalen Kliniek we always ensure that the result is natural and subtle. Therefore, we look carefully at your unique face shape in advance. You will enjoy this treatment for a long time, but for a beautiful and long-lasting result, we recommend repeating the nasolabial fold treatment at regular intervals. Of course we will inform you in detail about this in the clinic.
We work with the following type of fillers:
Juvederm: Ultra smile, Ultra 3, Ultra 4, Voluma, Volbella, Volift, Volux
Belotero: Balance, Soft, Volume, Intense
Skinbooster: Volite, Prophilo, Revive

Nasolabial folds, commonly known as smile or laugh lines, are the skin creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
After you arrive at our clinic, the procedure is as follows:
-
Consultation: a brief discussion with our cosmetic doctor KNMG to understand your goals.
-
Photography: we take pre-treatment photos to monitor results.
-
Treatment: using an ultra-thin needle, small amounts of hyaluronic acid-based filler are injected into the nasolabial fold, subtly filling and smoothing the area.
The nasolabial fold, running from the nostrils to the mouth corners, deepens with age due to:
-
Bone resorption: shrinking of the cheekbone and upper jaw.
-
Fat displacement: downward movement of subcutaneous fat from the cheeks.
This deepening can cast shadows, giving a stern appearance.
During the nasolabial fold filler treatment, we use an ultra-thin needle to do precise micro-injections, ensuring a smooth and natural result. To enhance comfort, an anesthetic is applied during the procedure, making the treatment virtually painless.
The filler treatment for the nasolabial fold takes approximately 30 minutes.
Changes are almost immediate, with the final result visible after about two weeks.
A hyaluronic acid filler in the nasolabial folds typically lasts between 8 to 18 months, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and skin type. Over time, the body naturally breaks down the filler, gradually returning the skin to its original state.
You can immediately resume daily activities, but it’s advisable to protect the treated area with SPF. Post-treatment effects may include:
-
Redness or swelling: temporary and subsides quickly.
-
Bruising: minor and short-lived.
Yes, the treatment subtly reduces the folds, restoring your original contour and fresh look without altering natural expressions.
Yes, nasolabial fold fillers can be effectively combined with other treatments to enhance overall facial balance and achieve a more harmonious, youthful look. Depending on your goals, our specialists may recommend:
- Botox for drooping mouth corners – Softens the downward pull at the corners of the mouth, preventing a sad or tired expression.
- Cheekbone fillers – Adds volume to the midface, providing a natural lift that reduces the depth of the nasolabial folds.
- Jawline fillers – Creates a more structured lower face, enhancing definition and balance.
During your free consultation, we assess your facial structure and tailor a custom treatment plan to achieve natural and long-lasting results.
