Nasolabial Folds

Dermal fillers are administered with a needle; therefore, this involves a degree of discomfort. However, we ensure this procedure is as pain-free as possible with topical anaesthetic, effective products with lidocaine and advanced injection techniques.

With this area we often use a cannula to minimize patient discomfort.

Due to the nature of injectable treatments, there is a possibility of some minor side effects, most of which subside up two-four weeks after treatment. Common side effects include:

Mild swelling and bumps.
Localised tenderness.
Skin blemish or bruising.
General sensitivity and redness.

Any potential side effects will be discussed during your consultation with a member of the VIVA team. Having treated hundreds of thousands of patients in over ten years of opening our doors at VIVA, you can have peace of mind that your safety is our priority.

Initial results will be visible as soon as you leave the clinic, however, it will take two-four weeks for the filler to soften and settle under the skin for final results. The secondary effect of glowing skin will be apparent at this point as well.

Our aesthetic practitioners are medically trained and supervised by our medical director, Dr. Rupert, who has over 12 years of experience. Our clinically trained practitioners are trained regularly on the latest techniques to ensure that treatments are performed with your comfort and safety as a priority.

We only use the most effective and safest FDA-approved products at VIVA Skin Clinics. Before any treatment we require a full medical consultation to understand your suitability. We would never recommend a treatment for you if we deemed it to be unsafe or dangerous, so we always keep your best interests in mind.

Most hyaluronic acid dermal fillers tend to fall within the 6 to 18-month range, however, the expected longevity of your fillers will also vary from person to person. The general ‘rule of thumb’ when it comes to Nasolabial Folds filler longevity is 9-12 months. How much product is used will be determined on the depth of the laughter lines and severity of the case.

The exact longevity might change based on the volume of filler used, the precise areas being treated as well as the patient’s metabolism and lifestyle. However, our injectors will be happy to discuss specifics at your consultation.

Maintaining your dermal fillers and increasing the longevity of your results can be achieved in a few ways. To ensure that you get the most from your filler treatment we recommend a combination of the following:

Maintaining a healthy skincare routine, minimising exposure to UV radiation.
Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated.
Avoiding stress, as this will accelerate the signs of ageing.
Follow the recommended aftercare provided by our practitioners.
Using medical grade skincare.
Attending recommended maintenance appointments.

This is an increasingly popular and accessible treatment, ideal for patients looking to reduce laugh lines and treating ageing signs in a natural way.

This treatment will be tailored to you to tackle nasolabial folds with efficiency and safety. This will provide softer and smoother skin, with increased volume around the mouth and wholly natural results.
