Quick answer · What is Nasolabial Folds?
Nasolabial folds are the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, deepened by midface volume loss, descending cheek tissue and reduced skin elasticity. At RE:BERRY Myeongdong they are usually softened with hyaluronic acid filler in the fold or cheeks, sometimes combined with collagen stimulators such as Juvelook or lifting devices. Filler takes 20–30 minutes, swelling usually settles within a few days, and results are visible straight away.

How it works
Why the folds deepen and how support softens them
With age the cheeks lose fat and bone support and the tissue slowly descends, so the skin folds more deeply beside the mouth. Filler placed in the fold or in the midcheek restores support, while collagen stimulators and radiofrequency improve firmness so the fold looks softer and more natural.
-
Facial assessment
Your doctor checks the depth of the folds, cheek volume and skin laxity to decide where support is needed.
-
Tailored treatment
After numbing, filler is placed in the fold or cheeks, with a collagen stimulator or lifting device added if useful.
-
Follow-up & maintenance
Swelling settles within days and the result settles over two weeks; touch-ups are usually every 9–12 months.

FAQ
Nasolabial Folds questions we hear every day
What is the best treatment for nasolabial folds?
Hyaluronic acid nasolabial fold fillers give the most immediate softening, often combined with cheek support. For mild folds, collagen stimulators or lifting may be enough.
Can nasolabial folds be removed completely?
Folds are a natural part of the face, so the aim is to soften them, not erase them. Overfilling can look unnatural, so doctors aim for a balanced result.
How long do results last?
Filler results typically last around 9–12 months, depending on the product, your metabolism and how mobile the area is.
Is there downtime?
Mild swelling or small bruises may last one to three days. Most patients go out the same day.
Can I fly home after filler?
Yes, usually the next day. Avoid pressing or massaging the area and avoid saunas for a day or two.
How much does nasolabial fold treatment cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the product and the amount of filler or other treatments used. The same price list applies to every nationality and is given to you in writing before treatment. See our filler and botox price list.
