Quick answer · What is Nasolabial Fold Treatment?
Non-surgical nasolabial fold treatment softens the smile lines between the nose and mouth corners. Depending on the cause, hyaluronic acid filler fills the fold directly or restores lost cheek volume, collagen stimulators such as Juvelook improve skin support, and threads or ultrasound lifting reposition a sagging midface. Filler takes about 20–30 minutes with mild swelling for a few days, and results typically last 9–12 months or more.

How it works
Treating the fold and the cheek above it
Nasolabial folds deepen as the midface loses volume and cheek tissue slides downwards. Filling the fold directly gives a quick improvement, but restoring support in the cheek or lifting it often looks more natural. Your doctor combines filler, boosters or lifting according to what is causing your fold.
-
Cause analysis
Your doctor assesses volume loss, skin quality and midface sagging to decide whether to fill, support or lift.
-
Treatment
After numbing, filler or booster is placed in layers with a needle or cannula, or a lifting treatment is performed.
-
Result & review
Filler softens the fold straight away; boosters and lifting improve gradually. A review can fine-tune the result.

FAQ
Nasolabial Fold Treatment questions we hear every day
Does nasolabial fold treatment hurt?
Numbing cream is applied and most fillers contain lidocaine, so most patients feel pressure and mild stinging. A cannula can reduce discomfort and bruising.
How long do results last?
Hyaluronic acid filler in the folds usually lasts about nine to twelve months, sometimes longer. Collagen boosters and lifting can extend the effect.
Is filler the only option?
No. When the fold comes from sagging cheeks, lifting with threads or ultrasound, or adding cheek support, can look more natural. See cheek fillers for midface support.
Is there downtime?
Mild swelling or small bruises can appear for one to three days. Avoid saunas, alcohol and heavy exercise for 24 hours.
Will I look overfilled?
Not when the amount is conservative and placed in the right layer. Your doctor aims to soften the fold, not erase it completely, so expressions stay natural.
How much does nasolabial fold treatment cost in Myeongdong?
Price depends on the method and the amount of product 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.
