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.

How Nasolabial fold filler works at Umi

Every visit is doctor-led and explained in English, from the first skin check to aftercare.

    The doctor checks fold depth, cheek support and skin laxity at rest and when smiling.

  2. Numbing

    Numbing cream around the folds.

  3. Layered injection

    Firm gel at the base near the nose and softer gel along the fold, placed by needle or cannula.

  4. Aftercare

    Avoid massage, saunas and heavy exercise for 24–48 hours.

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.
