Ease Nasolabial Grooves With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Everyone who looks at our face can easily see any obvious signs of ageing, after all, it's not a feature we can hide. How fast these signs of ageing happen varies from one person to another. There are lots of things which contribute to these changes, such as; our lifestyle, environment, genetics and our gender.

Dermal filler injections can improve lots of specific areas from ageing signs, with treatments such as; non-surgical nose-jobs, replacing volume in the chin, cheeks and tear troughs, plumping up thinning lips and improving the deep folds of laughter lines.

Deep nasolabial folds, or laugh lines are the large visible lines that run from the nose to the side of the mouth. Genetics and our facial structure partially decide how prominent and deep the nasolabial folds will get, and repeated facial expressions and the ageing process will exaggerate the lines, making them deeper.


The natural ageing process and the effects of excessive sun exposure can result in the face losing collagen, fat and elasticity, causing the face to sag and lose volume. Losing weight can also affect the face and sometimes not in a good way, as gravity can pull down fat and soft tissue which usually sits high up on the cheeks, causing sagging cheeks. This combined with the effects of gravity can cause nasolabial lines to appear. The smile lines go from the mouth to the nose, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip, generally becoming more pronounced the older we get.

Cosmetic treatments can treat facial ageing in many ways by using effective treatments. Dermal fillers can successfully restore areas of lost volume and injections of hyaluronic acid based filler will also smooth out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are highly effective in correcting nasolabial lines. The filler adds extra fullness to where wrinkles and folds are most prominent, smoothing out lines and restoring and enhancing the facial shape. Fillers will improve your looks, enhance your profile and leave your face with a natural expression. They are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery and the correction or softening of these folds gives your face a youthful fresher look.


Any side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising from the injections, are usually instantaneous, but quickly subside, and a numbing cream can easily be applied to minimise any discomfort. Injectable dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to temporarily improve fine lines, wrinkles and deep-set folds such as nasolabial lines as they can thicken the skin, reduce the lines and also restore and moisturise the skin.

Replace Volume on Nasolabial Folds with Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the effects of ageing than the face. Some people think lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others want to turn the clock back and regain their youthful look. Luckily we can rejuvenate the face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments.

Nasolabial folds are the indentation lines on either side of the mouth that start from the edge of the nose to the outer corners of the mouth. These lines become more prominent when we smile and laugh, and unfortunately, over time these expressions create permanent and unwanted smile lines. Nasolabial folds develop because our facial muscles get weaker as we get older, and though some people feel they are a natural part of ageing, many others don't like them.


Both men and women start to notice nasolabial lines as they age and this happens when we lose volume in the cheeks and upper face. The area starts to sag, causing the fold of the cheek into the nose area. We can effectively use dermal fillers on male and female faces to replace volume and structure to the ageing face in the cheek and nasolabial region.

Nasolabial folds become more noticeable due to a variety of factors, including:
  • Sun exposure, which damages the skin, causing wrinkles and changes in texture
  • Loss of collagen with age, making the skin weaker and thinner
  • Loss of fat, which can make the cheeks and nearby regions look saggy
The deepening of nasolabial folds are a common concern that affects many people and they occur when gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks, Gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold, and they generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.


Dermal fillers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments used to restore the loss of volume in the face. Dermal fillers work together with the remaining collagen and elastin in the body, to replace the volume that's lost through ageing, as well as smoothing out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins that keep the skin looking plump and youthful begins to drop from the age of twenty-five, and it's when these levels decrease when you start noticing the signs of ageing.

Dermal fillers can successfully replace volume in the face, smoothing out the creases, folds and wrinkles. Fillers are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to invasive cosmetic surgery for replacing the volume that's been lost through facial ageing. The results achieved by using dermal fillers for the nasolabial folds are stunning and very natural looking.

Enhance Your Face With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield


We get deep lines and folds in the skin as we get older because ageing causes the skin to lose elasticity and collagen, and it's this that makes our face begin to sag and look gaunt. We would all like to correct sunken cheeks and the hollows beneath our eyes to regain the plump fullness of skin from our youth, and dermal fillers are a great option for those wishing to lose these deep folds and lines on the face, but don't wish to have invasive cosmetic surgery.

Dermal fillers on tear troughs
We shouldn't confuse dermal fillers with botox, because although we inject both of these treatments into the face, we use botox to stop the muscle movement which causes wrinkles, while we use fillers to add volume to the face. This involves placing the fillers in strategic places to lift the cheeks and jowls, give volume to the lips and fill deep lines and hollows. Filler treatment can improve your looks, enhance your profile and leave your face with a natural expression.

Dermal fillers are ideal for these areas:
  • Tear troughs - this treatment gives a natural filled out appearance, correcting the hollows beneath the eyes.
  • Marionette lines - these lines run from the corners of the mouth, down towards the chin, causing deep creases which lead to jowls or a poorly defined jaw line. These are often a result of volume loss in the upper and mid face, combined with the effects of gravity.
  • Nasolabial lines - these are the deep lines from the nose to the mouth, where deep creasing can occur. Often these are a result of volume loss in the cheeks and temples.
  • Cheek Augmentation - loss of volume in the cheeks flattens the mid face. Dermal fillers are an effective treatment that instantly adds volume to cheeks, giving an immediately more youthful appearance.
  • Forehead wrinkles - Frown lines are the vertical lines between the eyebrows, and they are one of the most common signs of ageing. Dermal fillers are perfect for softening and minimizing the very deep lines which are visible, even when your forehead is at rest.
  • Lip enhancement - dermal fillers will give your lips better definition, reduce lipstick bleed and will enhance thin, ageing or asymmetrical lips. Filler treatment is a perfect solution to give you fuller, healthier looking lips, reducing smoker's lines and lifting mouth corners.
Dermal filler treatment for cheek enhancement
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment, used to plump up depressions in the skin. The main reason for depressions in the skin are wrinkles, lines and loss of volume caused by the ageing process. Dermal fillers work by plumping up the treated area and making it level with the rest of the skin, filling out any depressed areas such as wrinkles or sunken cheeks. A very fine needle injects the filler into the treatment area, which adds more structure and firmness to the face.

Benefits;
  • It's a non-invasive treatment with little downtime, allowing you to return to normal activities straight away
  • Fillers reduce lines and wrinkles to give a more youthful looking appearance
  • They will replenish lost volume for a softer, younger look
  • The results are long-lasting 
Lip enhancement
As we age, it is well-known that the skin loses its smoothness, and this happens because the body's natural levels of collagen reduce with age. This loss of shape and firmness is a problem that dermal fillers can rectify. During the injection treatment, most people report only a slight discomfort, so the treatment usually doesn't need an anaesthetic. After treatment, you can go straight back to your normal activities. The results are usually seen instantly and will last for around six to eight months.

Erase Laugh Lines with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Facial expressions are a huge part of our life, and the more mobile the expressions we use when we talk, smile or laugh, the greater chance that deep laugh lines will develop at a younger age. People often feel that laugh lines will make their face look fatigued or drawn, but it's when these lines become more pronounced, that they become a problem.

Nasolabial folds are the two folds of skin that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are natural facial contours which are commonly known as smile lines or laughter lines. Nasolabial folds can appear on the face of people as early as their 20's and they can be relatively fine, maybe just a fine wrinkle or become a deep fold, to the point that the skin above seems to hang over it.


There are several ways of reducing nasolabial folds, from topical treatments, to more invasive courses of action.
  • Creams and Serums - Using topical creams and serums may only be a short-term solution. Most of these creams contain ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid which improves the way the skin retains moisture, tretinoin which slows the breakdown of collagen, and exfoliants which help remove dead skin cells.
  • Cosmetic Surgery - Surgery is an expensive but long-term solution for reducing nasolabial folds, but it's an invasive surgical procedure and it's not a decision to take lightly. A facelift can reduce laugh lines, as the tightening of the skin makes the folds more shallow and less noticeable.
  • Dermal Fillers - Fillers offer the most effective non-surgical method for treating these lines. Non-permanent dermal fillers present a non-invasive and cost-effective means of treatment.
These facial lines are part of our normal anatomy and they can develop at any age and in fact, many of us grow up with a slight hint of laugh lines, but with time as we grow older, the fold can seem deeper as our skin loses volume. As we age we lose the elasticity in the skin, and our facial muscles weaken, making this area one of the first places to sag.


Dermal filler treatment usually takes 30-45 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any potential discomfort. Correction or softening of these folds gives you a youthful fresher look and the results achieved by using dermal fillers for treating the nasolabial folds are stunning and natural looking.

Lose Deep Set Smile Grooves with Dermal Fillers at Selston - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

Our skin is constantly under attack from the wind, sun and cold weather, emotional and hormonal changes and just the simple passing of time. All of these things will, over time, wear away at its structure, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and a loss of volume.

Some people think that facial fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, but others just want to reverse time and regain their fresh, youthful looks. There's no part of the body that's more susceptible to the unwanted effects of facial ageing, making dermal fillers an amazing weapon to fight the ageing process. Fillers can add volume to the skin, smooth away unwanted facial lines, creases and wrinkles and help the skin to regain its youthful look.


Nasolabial folds are the creases running down from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to reduce these lines and grooves on the face, they're a versatile product, and they are safe, effective and long-lasting. Smile lines usually begin as faint lines that can eventually turn into deeper creases over time. Dermal fillers fill in the lines and creases, plumping up the skin to give you a more youthful appearance. They add volume, rehydrate and fill in folds and wrinkles by replacing hyaluronic acid and stimulating collagen production.

Dermal fillers can do much more than smooth out wrinkles, they can also help to:
  • Reduce the smile and laugh lines around the mouth
  • Restore and enhance volume to sunken cheeks or the temples
  • Reduce vertical lip lines
  • Minimise dark circles under the eye
  • Smooth out a chin crease
  • Plump up and add a natural fullness to the lips
  • Improve facial symmetry
  • Restore lost volume in the hands, making them look younger

Smile lines are a particular problem for some people, and unfortunately, sometimes they're genetic and run in the family. Creases that stay on the face even after we've stopped smiling are more likely to become prominent in slender and older people. The severe nose to mouth lines create deep creases or folds which are very noticeable, but softening or reducing them with dermal fillers can smooth the face, making it look rejuvenated, while still keeping a natural feel, allowing the facial features to shine through.

Dermal filler treatment for correcting smile lines normally takes around 20 - 30 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any discomfort during the treatment. There's no downtime and you can immediately go back to work or resume your normal activities. The results are visible straight away, with further improvements becoming noticeable in the following week. Dermal filler injections last for around 9 - 12 months, and over time they are naturally absorbed back into the body.

Reduce Laughter Lines (Nasolabial) With Dermal Filler - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The rate of ageing varies from one person to another, and there are many factors that contribute to these changes; our lifestyle, environment,  genetics and gender. Dermal fillers can improve lots of specific areas from the signs of ageing, with treatments such as; non-surgical nose-jobs, replacing volume in the chin, cheeks and tear troughs, plumping up thin lips and improving the deep folds of  laughter lines, which are also known as nasolabial and marionette lines.

Genetics and facial structure partially decide how prominent and deep the nasolabial folds will get. As ageing progresses, smiling makes the nasolabial lines more exaggerated, and they get deeper, as with age the face loses collagen and fat, causing the face to sag. Deep smile folds, also known as nasolabial folds, are the large visible lines running from each side of the nose to the side of the mouth.


The face shows all of its signs of ageing to everyone who looks at it, after all, it's not exactly a feature we can hide. Cosmetic treatments can treat facial ageing in many ways and one of the most effective treatments, is to restore the loss of facial volume with dermal fillers. The filler adds extra fullness to where wrinkles are most prominent, smoothing out lines and restoring and enhancing the facial shape.

The skin loses elasticity because of the natural ageing process and the effects of sun exposure. Losing weight also affects the face, sometimes not in a good way, as it can cause the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high up on the cheeks, to be pulled down by gravity. The sagging cheeks and volume loss, combined with the effects of gravity can cause nasolabial lines to appear. These smile, or laughter lines, form from the mouth to the nose, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip, generally becoming more pronounced as we get older.


Dermal fillers are highly effective in correcting nasolabial lines.
  • Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that's naturally found in the human body, that absorbs moisture and keeps the skin hydrated.
  • There are many types of hyaluronic acid based fillers available and treatment results can last between 6-18 months.
  • Having the filler treatments performed by an experienced practitioner will make sure that any infections and allergic reactions rarely happen.
  • Any side effects, such as redness, swelling, or bruising from the injections, are usually instantaneous, but quickly subside.
  • A numbing cream can easily be applied to minimise any discomfort, and there's only minimal downtime. 
Injectable dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to temporarily improve fine lines, wrinkles and deep-set folds such as nasolabial lines; they can thicken the skin, reducing the lines and they'll also restore and moisturise the skin.

Correct Nasolabial Folds With Dermal Filler Treatment - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

There isn't any part of the body that's more susceptible to the unwanted effects of ageing, than the face. There are some people who think fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, while others, just wish to turn back time and regain their youthful look. Luckily for those people, they can rejuvenate their face by undergoing cosmetic procedures, using minimally invasive injectable treatments, or even face lift surgery.


Our facial skin starts to develop lines and wrinkles and volume loss as a result of; age, sun damage, stress, gravity and other environmental factors. Dermal fillers are one of the most effective cosmetic treatments used to restore the loss of volume in the face. Dermal fillers work together with the remaining collagen and elastin in the body, to replace the volume  that's lost through ageing, as well as smoothing and evening out the area being treated. The collagen, elastin and proteins which keep the skin looking plump and youthful, begins to drop from the age of 25, and it's when these levels decrease that you begin to notice the signs of ageing.

The smile lines, or laughter lines that form between the edge of the nose, to the corner of the mouth are known as the nasolabial folds, and these folds separate the cheeks from the upper lip. The deepening of the nasolabial folds are a common concern which affects many people and it occurs because gravity pulls down the fat and other soft tissue that usually sits high on your cheeks and gradually this begins to create a wrinkle, crease or fold. They generally become more pronounced as a person gets older.


Dermal fillers can successfully revolumise areas that have lost volume. Injections of hyaluronic acid restores lost volume of the skin, smoothing out the lines and wrinkles. This improves your looks, enhances your profile and leaves your face with a natural expression. They are a non-invasive, cost-effective alternative to cosmetic surgery for replacing the volume that's been lost through facial ageing. The results achieved by using dermal fillers for the nasolabial folds are stunning and natural looking. Correction or softening of these folds gives you a youthful fresher look.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, the dermal filler treatment for correcting nasolabial folds normally takes 20 - 30 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any potential discomfort during the procedure. Dr Bassi has performed thousands of injectable treatments and has over 10 years experience as a specialist cosmetic practitioner.

There is no downtime and you can return to work or your normal activities immediately. The results are visible immediately, with more improvements in the skin volume becoming noticeable in the following weeks. The dermal filler injections last between 9 - 12 months, and are naturally absorbed back into the body as time passes.

Combat Facial Ageing With Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

A youthful face has smooth skin, the ability to reflect light and has fullness in the upper areas, but over time, years of sun exposure, pollution and everyday stress will affect our appearance. The body produces less of the natural substances that's needed to keep our skin firm and well hydrated, which all cause facial lines and wrinkles to appear.


Dermal filler used on the nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines)

We use dermal fillers to fill depressions on the face, hands and body. Injectable fillers are the perfect way to enhance your facial features ,because they can help to fill shallow contours, plump up thin lips, soften folds and wrinkles on the face and improve scars and other facial defects.


The ageing process begins when we are about 25 and over the next decade:
  • Skin cell turnover slows down and dead cells remain on the skin creating a dull appearance
  • Early wrinkles can begin to appear around the eyes
  • The lines from the nose to mouth become more prominent
  • The jaw line begins to soften 
From age 35 to 45
  • Lines and wrinkles will deepen, and frown lines can give your face an angry look
  • Your skin type may change, from oily to dry or vice versa
  • Pigmentation changes on your skin
From age 45 onwards
  • In menopause, oestrogen levels decrease, causing collagen to deplete
  • Volume loss
  • Skin can become dry and dehydrated
  • Pigmentation will become more visible
  • The face begins to drop
  • The jaw area loses definition
Dermal filler used on the tear troughs (under eye hollows)

Wrinkles and creases on the face are part of the ageing process and they begin to appear as the collagen and elastin fibres break down, but they can also result from excessive frowning, smiling or squinting.

Dynamic lines are when lines, wrinkles and other signs of ageing occur on the face when it's in motion. They're also called expression lines; laughter lines, frown lines and bunny lines, which are harmless at a younger age but will often contribute to where the deeper set folds and wrinkles will remain in later life.

Static lines are noticable wrinkles, lines, sagging and folds which are present on the resting face; sagging jaw line, nasal folds, sunken cheeks and horizontal forehead lines. These lines, if left untreated, will stay on the face and will progressively worsen.

Dermal Fillers are a temporary solution, as the hyaluronic acid in the fillers is naturally degradable, and is naturally broken down and eventually absorbed by the body. Fillers are effective at restoring hydration to the skin, smoothing lines and wrinkles and can also restore and enhance the facial shape. The fillers last around 9 to 12 months, although this may vary from person to person, depending on their lifestyle and which part of the face gets injected.

Dermal Fillers to Plump Out Facial Lines & Grooves - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

When we think of filling in the lines on our face, the obvious answer is to have Botox. And whilst this is an excellent treatment for smoothing lines and wrinkles, it's fair to say, not everybody is comfortable with the idea of having Botox injected into their face, as they have visions of a frozen face that's unable to express any emotions (with a fully trained cosmetic practitioner this will not happen)



The best alternative to Botox is dermal fillers which are a great treatment for smoothing lines and wrinkles without paralysing your face into an expressionless mask. Dermal fillers can be used to fill out the face, to replace fat, and plump out areas that have lost volume and are beginning to look somewhat gaunt. They can also be used to fill in acne scars, change the shape of the chin or the tip of the nose.

Over time as we age, our skin loses hydration and this results in the loss of elasticity, forming lines and wrinkles and this gets more noticeable when we reach middle age. Dermal fillers can effectively treat areas, such as the eyes, neck and the back of the hands, which can, with age, develop finer lines and thinner crepey skin.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic, we offer:
  • Cheek Enhancement -  will give the appearance of high cheekbones.
  • Lip Creases -  often called smokers lines, and filler will soften the depth of these, giving a youthful appearance of the mouth area.
  • Nasolabial Folds - Filler treatment can correct or soften the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.
  • Tear trough - This treatment corrects the hollow-eye look, giving a natural filled out appearance under the lower eyelids.
  • Jowls Correction -  You can get a smooth jaw-line by the precise placing of fillers.
  • Lip Enhancement (Lip filler) - Gives your lips better definition and helps to reduce lipstick bleed.
  • Lip Augmentation (Lip filler) - Will give greater volume and a fuller look to your lips.


                               Tear Troughs before and after dermal filler.

Depending on the areas being treated, the procedure normally takes 20-40 minutes and you can resume normal activities the same day. The procedure might feel uncomfortable, so we can apply a topical anaesthetic before the procedure. Usually, clients only need one dermal filler treatment to achieve their desired results, which last between 8-12 months, although some people choose to have occasional top-ups to keep up the look. While there might be a little swelling or redness, but this can easily be covered up by make-up.

At Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have many satisfied clients who regularly return to us for dermal fillers as they give instant dramatic results. Dermal filler results are immediate - so you don't have to wait for weeks to see how the procedure has turned out. There might be slight bleeding where the needle enters the skin, or slight swelling or redness in the treated area, although this will go down very quickly.

Correct Nasolabial Folds or Laugh Lines with Dermal Fillers - Nottingham, Derby, Mansfield & Chesterfield

The nasolabial folds are natural facial contours which are commonly known as smile lines or laugh lines. They can either be relatively fine, just a fine wrinkle or become a deep fold, to the point that the skin above seems to hang over it. They are the two folds of skin that run from each side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. A nasolabial fold is part of our normal anatomy and they can develop at any age and in fact, many of us grow up with a slight hint of laugh lines, but with time, the fold can seem deeper as our skin loses volume as we get older.  We lose the elasticity in the skin and facial muscles weaken as we age, making this area one of the first places to sag.


Facial expressions are a huge part of life, so the more mobile the expressions we use when we smile or laugh, the greater chance that deeper laugh lines will develop at a younger age. People often feel that laugh lines gives their face a fatigued or drawn appearance and when these lines become more pronounced, this is when they become a problem for some people.

There are several ways to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds from topical treatments, to more invasive courses of action.

Creams and Serums
Most of these creams contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid which improves the way the skin retains moisture, tretinoin, which slows the breakdown of collagen and exfoliants, which help remove dead skin cells. Using topical creams and serums may only be a short-term solution.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer the most effective non-surgical method for treating these lines. Non-permanent dermal fillers present a non-invasive and cost-effective means of treatment, with very little downtime.



Cosmetic Surgery
A face lift is an expensive but long-term solution for reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds, it is a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. A face lift can reduce laugh lines, as the tightening of the skin makes the folds shallower and less noticeable.

Losing weight can exacerbate nasolabial folds, as visible lines around the mouth tend to show up more on thinner people. Dermal fillers are used to successfully put volume back into areas that have lost volume, most often as a result of ageing, and will significantly reduce or remove nasolabial folds which can make the face look older and tired.
At the Selston Cosmetic Clinic we have great success in treating nasolabial folds with dermal fillers.
 
 
 
We recommend any of the following dermal fillers:
  • Restylane range
  • Radiesse
  • Juvederm Ultra
The treatment take usually takes 30 - 45 minutes and a local anaesthetic injection is usually given to minimise any potential discomfort. Downtime is minimal and you can go back to work the next day. The results are immediate and last up to 12 months.

Correction or softening of these folds gives you a youthful fresher look and the results that can be achieved using dermal fillers are stunning and natural looking.
