The beauty secret behind improving nasolabial folds with filler
As we age, the nasolabial folds, the lines that extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth, become more prominent. An effective and non-surgical method to soften these folds is treatment with filler. Here at MyClinic, we’ll guide you through how filler work, what benefits they can provide and answer common questions about nasolabial fold treatment.
What are nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial folds are the lines that extend from the wings of the nose down towards the corners of the mouth. These folds, which can sometimes be described as ‘heavy cheeks’, occur naturally with age and can give the impression that the cheeks are weighted down.
Over time, the face loses volume and elasticity, causing the tissue from the cheeks to start sagging forward. This creates more pronounced creases that can make the face look more tired or older than it really is.
Why do nasolabial folds occur?
- Lifestyle: Factors such as smoking, sun exposure and poor skin care can accelerate the ageing process and increase the appearance of creases.
- Age: Decreased production of collagen and elastin causes skin to lose its firmness and elasticity.
- Loss of volume in the cheeks: As facial fat and connective tissue are reduced, the skin loses structural support and begins to descend, resulting in more prominent nasolabial folds.
- Genetics: Some people naturally have deeper nasolabial folds due to the structure of the face.
Nasolabial folds are a natural part of facial anatomy, but their appearance can be influenced by several factors:
How do filler work for the treatment of nasolabial folds?
We use several different types of filler to treat nasolabial folds, customized to your needs and skin conditions. Hyaluronic acid-based filler are among the most common and have moisture-binding properties that integrate naturally with the skin. Other filler can also stimulate the skin’s own collagen production for a more lasting result.
A filler treatment fills in the deeper layers of the skin, reducing creases and smoothing the skin. The treatment usually takes 20-30 minutes, and the results are immediately visible. To ensure the best possible results, it is important to choose a qualified practitioner. At MyClinic, our focus is to always offer a safe and natural aesthetic in all treatments we perform.

Questions and Answers about Nasolabial fold filler
How do I book a consultation?
You can book a free video consultation by clicking here. It is also possible to book an on-site consultation for SEK 300.
If you have not previously attended a consultation for aesthetic injection treatment, it is necessary to book one in accordance with the legislation. After receiving the information during the consultation, you must wait for a reflection period of at least two days before the treatment can be carried out. For recurrent treatments after more than six months, a new consultation is mandatory, but no further reflection period is required.
Important steps to take before a filler treatment:
Avoid blood thinners: It is recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least one week prior to your treatment. These medications can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during the procedure.
Avoid certain medications: For optimal results, refrain from taking anti-inflammatory medications one week before your scheduled treatment, as they can interfere with the body’s ability to clot and may increase the risk of bruising.
Avoid Omega-3 supplements: Omega-3 supplements can also heighten the risk of bruising. It is advisable to discontinue them two weeks before your treatment.
Limit alcohol consumption: To minimize the risk of swelling and bruising, avoid alcohol at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. Alcohol can affect blood vessels and contribute to increased side effects.
By following these recommendations, you help ensure that your filler treatment will proceed as smoothly and successfully as possible.
Important things to keep in mind after a filler treatment:
Avoid touching or massaging the treated area during the first 6–12 hours. This helps prevent filler migration and minimizes the risk of uneven results.
Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications such as aspirin and ibuprofen for the first few days after treatment, as they can increase the risk of bleeding and bruising.
Refrain from strenuous physical activity for 24–48 hours. Increased blood circulation may heighten the risk of bruising and cause the filler to shift.
Limit excessive facial expressions during the first 12 hours after your visit, allowing the filler to settle properly into the treated tissue.
Avoid heat and sun exposure: Refrain from exposing the treated area to direct sunlight, saunas, or hot baths for the first few days, as this can exacerbate swelling and redness.
Apply sunscreen: Once initial side effects have subsided, protect the treated area with sunscreen if you are exposed to sunlight.
Maintain realistic expectations: While results can be visible immediately, allow a few days to a week for swelling and any side effects to fully subside and the final results to become apparent.
How do filler work for nasolabial folds?
Filler work by restoring lost volume and structure beneath the skin. During treatment, hyaluronic acid-based filler are injected into the deeper layers of the skin along the nasolabial folds. This helps to:
- Fill in deep creases: The filler adds volume where the skin has started to sag, making the lines appear smoother and less prominent.
- Support surrounding tissues: By lifting and supporting the mid-face area, filler can reduce the downward pull that makes nasolabial folds more visible.
- Enhance hydration: Hyaluronic acid binds moisture, improving the skin’s texture and elasticity from within.
The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with natural-looking definition. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and requires little to no downtime.
Is there any recovery time after filler treatment?
Recovery time after filler treatment is usually minimal. However, some patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site in the first few days.
To support healing and optimize results, we recommend avoiding intense physical activities and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours after the treatment. Following these guidelines can help minimize side effects and ensure the best possible outcome.
Are the results of filler permanent?
No, the results of filler are not permanent. Over time, filler are naturally broken down by the body, causing the effects to gradually diminish. To maintain and enhance the results, regular maintenance treatments are recommended. These follow-up treatments can be scheduled at intervals to ensure the results stay fresh and the facial contours remain well-defined.
Can filler be removed?
Yes, filler can be removed, but it depends on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid-based filler can be dissolved with an enzyme. The treatment is safe and effective, but it should be carried out by a trained and experienced practitioner.

What happens when you stop using filler?
When you stop using filler, your skin gradually returns to its original state as the filler is naturally broken down by your body. Filler do not make the skin worse than before. In fact, many people notice that their skin appears improved thanks to the deep hydration provided by hyaluronic acid.
Why do wrinkles around the mouth occur?
Wrinkles around the mouth can develop due to decreased skin elasticity, loss of volume, and repetitive facial movements such as smiling or smoking. Aging, genetics, and lifestyle factors also play a significant role in the formation of these lines.
