Nasolabial Fold Filler in Englewood, FL
The lines that run from your nose to the corners of your mouth deepen as the face loses volume over time. Filler softens these folds and restores support, often working best alongside the cheeks, for a smoother, naturally refreshed look.
What Are Nasolabial Folds?
Nasolabial folds are the two lines that run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. They are sometimes called smile lines or laugh lines, although they are not caused by smiling alone. Everyone has some degree of nasolabial fold, even at a young age, but they deepen over time as the face changes. The cheeks lose volume, the midface gradually descends, and the skin loses some of its elasticity. All of this allows the fold to become more pronounced and to settle into the skin.
Because these folds sit in the central, lower part of the face, deep nasolabial lines can make a person look older or more tired than they feel. Softening them is one of the most requested filler treatments, and hyaluronic acid filler is a well-established, well-understood way to do it. Hyaluronic acid is a substance the body produces naturally, and the gel forms used for filler integrate smoothly into the tissue, drawing in a little water to add soft support beneath the skin.
At A Younger You Wellness Medspa, Quynh Doan, APRN treats nasolabial folds with a focus on natural balance. Rather than simply filling the line, she looks at why the fold has deepened. In many patients the real cause is volume loss higher up in the cheeks, and restoring support there softens the fold from above in a way that looks more natural than filling the crease directly. Quynh tailors the approach to your face, which may mean cheek support, direct filler, or a thoughtful combination of both.

A Balanced Approach to the Folds
One of the most common mistakes with nasolabial folds is filling the line itself too aggressively. When the underlying cause is midface volume loss, packing filler directly into the fold can create a heavy, unnatural look without truly correcting the problem. A more refined approach considers the whole midface.
Quynh assesses where your volume has been lost and how your face has changed, then decides whether the fold is best addressed by supporting the cheeks, by placing a measured amount of filler along the fold, or by combining the two. This is the difference between chasing a line and restoring natural facial balance. The goal is always a result that looks like a rested version of you, not like work has been done.

HOW IT WORKS
What to Expect
Consultation:
Quynh assesses your nasolabial folds and your midface volume, identifies the underlying cause, and recommends the approach that will look most natural for your face.
Treatment:
Filler is placed precisely, often using a cannula for comfort and safety in this area. Most products contain lidocaine for comfort. The treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and there is little to no downtime.
Results:
Results are visible right away and continue to settle over one to two weeks. Mild swelling or bruising can occur and resolves quickly. Results typically last around nine months to over a year. Results vary by individual.
EXPECTATIONS AND FIT
Nasolabial fold filler softens the lines from the nose to the mouth and restores support, often in combination with cheek volume. Results are immediate and temporary. Results vary.
A strong fit for patients who:
- Are bothered by deepening lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Want a natural softening rather than an overfilled look
- Are open to supporting the cheeks if that gives a more natural result
- Want a treatment with immediate results and little downtime
This may not be the right approach if:
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have an active skin infection in the area or a known sensitivity to hyaluronic acid filler. Discuss your history at consultation.
- Your folds are very deep and shadowed. Filler softens them but may not erase them completely, and Quynh will be honest with you about realistic results and whether cheek support is needed.
Results vary. Dermal filler is administered by a licensed provider. This content is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

They are the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth that deepen as the face loses volume. Filler restores support beneath the skin to soften them, often alongside cheek support to address the cause. Results vary.
It depends on the cause. When the fold deepens because the cheeks have lost volume, supporting the cheeks softens it more naturally than filling the line directly. Quynh assesses the cause and recommends the best approach.
