Quick answer
What are nasolabial fold fillers?
Nasolabial fold fillers place hyaluronic acid filler along and beneath the folds that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Supporting the fold from below makes it shallower, so the lower face looks softer and less tired.
Deep folds are often caused partly by midface volume loss, so the doctor may add a little support in the cheek first — see cheek fillers. This gives a more natural result than filling the line alone.

FAQ
Nasolabial fold filler questions
Will the folds disappear completely?
The aim is to soften, not erase. Some fold is natural, especially when smiling, and overfilling looks unnatural.
Why does the doctor treat the cheek too?
Midface volume loss pulls the fold deeper. A little cheek support often reduces the amount needed in the fold itself.
Is there downtime?
Usually very little. Most people return to normal activities right away.
How long does it last?
Typically 9–15 months, depending on product and lifestyle.
Do foreigners pay more?
No. International patients pay the same price as local patients at Umi Clinic.
