These folds are natural creases that develop on the skin's surface over time around the nose, mouth, and chin, influenced by aging, repeated facial expressions, and sun exposure. If you're concerned about nasolabial folds or marionette lines, trust your skin to the experts at DERM Lab in North Vancouver.
Nasolabial folds, also known as melolabial folds, are natural creases that extend from the lateral nose to the corners of the lip. Marionette Lines extend from the former of the mouth to the chin. These folds are often the result of a combination of factors, including the natural aging process, repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, and a decrease in collagen and elastin production. While facial folds are a normal part of aging, they may become more pronounced and bothersome with time.
Fortunately, various cosmetic treatments are available to smooth out facial folds and restore lift and structure to the face. Popular treatment options include:
