Dermal Fillers — Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial Fold Filler
Reviewed by Dr. Alexander Landfield, Board-Certified Neurologist
Soften deep smile lines and nasolabial folds with expertly placed dermal fillers at Rani Beauty Clinic. Our physician-supervised approach addresses these prominent creases from nose to mouth, restoring a smoother, more youthful lower face while maintaining your natural expressions.
How Dermal Fillers Works on the Nasolabial Folds
Your provider assesses the depth and structure of your nasolabial folds, evaluating whether the creases are caused by volume loss, skin laxity, or a combination of both. Hyaluronic acid filler is carefully injected along the fold using a linear threading or fanning technique, filling the crease from beneath and lifting the surrounding tissue. For deeper folds, your provider may also recommend cheek filler to provide structural support from above. Results are visible immediately, with the filler settling and softening over 1–2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many syringes are needed for nasolabial folds?
Most clients need 1–2 syringes to effectively smooth nasolabial folds. One syringe provides noticeable softening, while two syringes offer more complete correction for deeper creases. Your provider recommends the optimal amount based on the depth and structure of your folds.
Will nasolabial fold filler look natural?
Yes, when administered by an experienced provider. The goal is to soften the fold — not eliminate it entirely. Some degree of nasolabial fold is natural and contributes to facial expression. Our providers aim for a refreshed, balanced result that looks natural and proportionate to your face.
Is it better to fill the folds directly or add cheek filler?
In many cases, the most natural and long-lasting results come from a combination approach — restoring cheek volume to provide structural lift from above, then fine-tuning the fold itself with direct filler. Your provider evaluates your entire midface to recommend the most effective strategy for your anatomy.
How long does nasolabial fold filler last?
Nasolabial fold filler typically lasts 9–12 months. The duration depends on the specific product used, the depth of the fold, and your individual metabolism. This area is relatively mobile from smiling and talking, which can accelerate the metabolism of the filler compared to less mobile areas.
