Treating nasolabial folds in Hanover

Nasolabial folds are among the most distinctive expression lines on our faces—they tell a story of joy, a life well-lived, and the passage of time. But when these lines become too deep, we appear more tired, serious, or older than we feel. Today, aesthetic medicine offers effective, gentle solutions to address this issue—all without surgery.

The so-called nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are caused by a combination of:

• decreased skin elasticity
• volume loss in the midface
• facial expressions (e.g., smiling)
• genetic factors
• external influences (UV radiation, smoking, lack of sleep)

As we age, the midface becomes flatter, the cheeks sag slightly—and the crease deepens. Simple skincare is usually not enough to improve the appearance.

This is where hyaluronic acid injections into the nasolabial fold come in: they restore volume, plump the area from within, and thus smooth the groove without affecting natural facial expressions.

At our practice, we use only high-quality hyaluronic acid fillers that have been specifically developed for deeper wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis. The injection is virtually painless thanks to the use of ultra-fine needles—we can apply a numbing cream upon request.

Combinations are possible: In some cases, we combine the injections with a gentle volume treatment of the cheeks to harmoniously balance the face as a whole—for an even more natural result.
