Causes

As is the case with other signs of aging, nasolabial folds are predominantly the result of exposure to sunlight, aging, and genetic factors. With age, the skin loses collagen (the process can be accelerated by exposure to ultraviolet light), and becomes less elastic.

For correction of the upper part of nasolabial folds can be used small implants. Of course, such an operation is associated with a significant risk, and require a longer recovery period than administration procedure under the skin fillers.

At a very deep nasolabial folds can be the best choice excision of wrinkles. The main drawback of the operation is that after it remain visible scars. Sometimes excision leads to facial asymmetry and other undesirable results.
