How does filler work in the nasolabial lips?

Nasolabial wrinkles cause a lot of discomfort. Sometimes it is enough to smooth out just them to “throw off” 5–8 years. Modern cosmetology offers painless rejuvenation procedures by introducing fillers, the results of which will not take long to arrive.

Injection of fillers into the area of ​​nasolabial wrinkles to smooth the skin

Nasolabial folds first appear on the sides of the nose, then extend to the lips, and then fall below the corners of the mouth, creating “sagging cheeks.” The last stage of “nasolabial folds” is observed after 50 years, when flabby facial muscles are unable to fix stretched skin that has lost its elasticity. In addition, wrinkles in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle can appear before the age of 30. They cause great discomfort, because because of them, extra age is “added”, and the facial expression becomes gloomy and dissatisfied.

To solve problems with nasolabial folds, modern contour plastic surgery offers filler injections.

Filler is literally translated from English as “filler”. This is a gel substance that is injected under the skin through a needle.

Description of the procedure

Contour plastic surgery is a non-surgical rejuvenation method, that is, it does not require general anesthesia.

The procedure goes as follows:

  1. The face is cleansed with an antibacterial agent.
  2. A local anesthetic is applied, most often an analgesic cream (for example, Emla). Some patients tolerate the procedure well even without pain relief.
  3. The doctor opens the package with a disposable syringe and a bottle of filler immediately before use.
  4. Injections are given in the nasolabial area, their number depends on the severity of wrinkles. The drug slowly fills the space under the skin, leveling and smoothing it.
  5. After resting for a couple of minutes, the patient can go home.

You must inform your cosmetologist about all medications you are taking at the consultation stage.

What fillers are used

Since the first fillers were invented in the USA in the 40s of the 20th century, their variety has increased significantly.

The following preparations for the nasolabial area are used in cosmetology:

  1. constant exposure, which are synthetic and semi-synthetic;
  2. from your own adipose tissue;
  3. temporary action:
  1. collagen;
  2. from hyaluronic acid;
  3. from lactate polymers.

Permanent fillers

Permanent fillers include drugs whose injection effect can last for years. The basis for their production are:

  1. synthetic (permanent) fillers. They remain under the skin in their original form. These include liquid silicone and polymer gel. But since injections of these fillers have many side effects, they are increasingly being abandoned.
  2. semi-synthetic or biosynthetic fillers. They are modified substances of biological origin. The result of using a filler with a biosynthetic filler lasts quite a long time: after several procedures, wrinkles do not appear until 10 years until it resolves. These drugs also have many side effects.

Preparations from cells of own adipose tissue

Lipofilling or lipografting are injections of the patient's own adipose tissue. WITHA severe allergy to all other fillers forces one to resort to lipofilling, the effect of which does not last so long. Specially processed human subcutaneous fat, injected into the “nasolabial”, dissolves over time, and with severe weight loss, this process accelerates.

Temporary drugs

Created from absorbable and biocompatible components, temporary fillers have become very popular due to their safety. Their basis is substances that take root well in the body. Most often these are proteins and acids.

  1. based on collagen - a protein from the connective tissue of the body. Perform the functions of retaining moisture and maintaining elasticity. It is because of the slow production of collagen that skin aging and wrinkles appear. For injections, donor, own or animal collagen is used.
  2. based on polymers of lactic acid, which belongs to fruit acids. The duration of action of such fillers is almost twice as long as collagen fillers, but the effect of the procedure can only appear after 1–3 months, and up to four sessions are required to achieve the result.
  3. based on hyaluronate. Hyaluronic acid is a component that is part of the tissues of the human body. Due to its deficiency, the skin loses its elasticity. During injection, hyaluronate with water molecules fills wrinkles. This helps maintain the necessary level of skin moisture, as well as relieve irritation and flaking. Fillers based on hyaluronic acid are divided into:
  1. monophasic gel dermofiller. It is elastic, so the cosmetologist can distribute the drug under the skin after injection. Gel molecules are easily introduced into the epidermis, increasing the overall tone of the skin. The result is noticeable at the end of the first session.
  2. two-phase (biphasic) gel filler. Solves problems with the most pronounced wrinkles, but is less susceptible to correction. The density of the biphasic filler is higher than that of the monophasic filler, which complicates the insertion process. But the result can last up to a year.

When does the effect appear after filler injection?

Depending on the type of filler, the duration of the effect in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds may vary:

  1. with the introduction of hyaluronic acid, wrinkles are smoothed out immediately, that is, the result is visible already when leaving the beauty salon. Over time, the effect increases;
  2. the effect after collagen injection is noticeable after 2–4 days, since slight swelling may appear at first;
  3. when using synthetic fillers, the effect is visible the next day, if there are no bruises or swelling left, and the material has taken root successfully, which is rare;
  4. After lipofilling, in some patients, swelling causes asymmetry or changes in the oval of the face, so you have to wait 1–3 weeks for the results of the procedure.

Advantages and disadvantages of using fillers

Benefits of beauty injections:

  1. procedures are performed without surgical intervention;
  2. long-term rehabilitation, hospital stay and constant monitoring by doctors are not required;
  3. in the absence of swelling, the effect can be enjoyed immediately;
  4. biocompatible drugs are hypoallergenic and are eliminated from the body over time;
  5. It is possible to correct the mistakes of the previous one during a second session of beauty injections (this does not apply to artificial fillers);
  6. facial expressions and mobility are not limited;
  7. injections are carried out all year round;
  8. dermofillers with hyaluronate or collagen heal the skin and saturate it with useful substances.
  1. fillers - except silicone ones - are short-lived, so procedures are carried out repeatedly to maintain the effect;
  2. To remove permanent (artificial) fillers, the help of a surgeon is required;
  3. the result depends on the literacy and experience of the cosmetologist.

Indications and contraindications

Like any other intervention in the natural functioning of the body, injections of fillers into nasolabial wrinkles are contraindicated in some cases. These include:

  1. diseases of the immune system;
  2. skin diseases;
  3. herpes rash;
  4. the presence of an allergic reaction to any of the components of the drug;
  5. increased body temperature;
  6. blood clotting disorder;
  7. pregnancy and lactation;
  8. recent mechanical or chemical peelings, as well as hair removal in the area of ​​the nasolabial triangle;
  9. difficult healing of scars after operations.

Indications for injections in the nasolabial area:

  1. excessive pigmentation or persistent acne marks;
  2. sagging skin;
  3. increased dryness, dehydration of the skin.

Possible complications after the procedure

The introduction of drugs under the skin is mostly successful, but there are also cases with side effects. They can occur after an incorrectly performed procedure by a doctor with insufficient qualifications.

Possible consequences of injection of fillers:

  1. artificial fillers can become crumpled or change their location over time, and a rejection reaction often occurs;
  2. all fillers can cause swelling in the injection area;
  3. soreness in the places where the needles were inserted;
  4. translucency of the drug can be observed when injected into the upper layers of the skin, which is a serious mistake by a cosmetologist;
  5. whitening of the skin and pain at the injection site are associated with blockage of the vessel;
  6. redness and slight bruising that disappear over time.

Complications that do not go away for more than seven days are a reason to visit a doctor, because this may be a signal of an infection that has entered the body or a severe allergy.

Recommendations for successful rehabilitation

The severity of side effects can be reduced by following care and lifestyle recommendations for 7–10 days after administration of the drug. This will also help the results last longer.

After the procedure you cannot:

  1. lie down - the face should be higher than the body - for four hours;
  2. strain your facial muscles and play sports;
  3. stay in direct sunlight and visit the solarium and swimming pool until the swelling subsides;
  4. do makeup for 4–5 days;
  5. allow touching the injection sites on the day of manipulation;
  6. take blood thinners for 7-10 days.

It is safest to wait until swelling and bruising have completely disappeared before applying cosmetics or performing any manipulations on the face. It is also useful to use special ointments or gels for bruises for a speedy recovery.

Reviews from patients and doctors

I had nasolabial fillers done for the first time. The cosmetologist said that for three days you should not make strong facial expressions, smile, etc. And that the final result will be visible in 2 weeks. I hardly smiled, twice, I tried to control my facial expressions. How much will this really affect the result, because even when you eat, your muscles work? One side of me seems to have gotten better, but the other either hasn’t improved or isn’t visible. Could it be that 2 days after the procedure the result is not very visible, but by the end of the second week it will take effect? Or is it not like Botox, which can be injected. I had some weak creases, I thought they would straighten out completely, but no. What is this - poor quality work or still waiting for the result?

Restylane fillers - If I could go back, I wouldn't do it again. Amazing, girls! I’m writing a review for the second time, and the second time I’m alone with a negative impression... I just don’t understand now, all the reviews can’t be false and corrupt. My story: I spent a long time choosing both a clinic and a cosmetologist. I consulted with friends who have ever resorted to this procedure... These injections were supported by the fact that some 20-year-old girls, without any emerging skin problems, still use Restylane to enlarge their lips. That is, their motivation is not to restore the skin from emerging wrinkles, but simply to play around with their appearance - to make plump lips, which they can easily live without. I thought to myself: “Well, is the temptation to have plump (sometimes clearly unnatural) lips stronger than the dangers that lie in wait after using the gel?” And I concluded for myself that if there was a minimal risk in these injections, a 20-year-old person would not take risks and spoil her appearance, and what’s more, her health. Therefore, most likely, the injections are indeed safe. As a result, I decided to try to help my skin (I read that the sooner you help it, the longer the youthfulness of your face will remain, rather than if you wait for the skin to wither and then resort to correcting the consequences...) After a careful search, I settled on a state clinic and a dermatologist - a highly qualified cosmetologist who finally convinced me of the safety of the procedure and said that there were 8 syringes in her face. I was given only 1. The certificates and the drug itself did not arouse any suspicion in me. Injections were made into the nasolabial and bridge of the nose. A day has passed. Today the bridge of my nose and some places in my nasolabial lips are very sore. An elongated bump formed on the bridge of the nose, along the course of the needle, but even slightly longer than the needle itself. This lump is very painful and noticeable. Although I asked the doctor about possible side effects, as well as about possible fibrosis or compaction. She said that I was talking nonsense and that I did not understand the drug. She squeezed a little bit of this gel onto my hand and said, look how it can harm? As a result, now I am in a panic, trying to find on the Internet who had similar consequences, but nothing is written about it! Simply amazing. I made an appointment with the doctor on Monday. I don't know what he will say. But I no longer really believe her and her assurances that everything will be great... I also want to say that I also didn’t notice the expected effect of straightening out the creases on my cheeks, even the relief of my face became more contrasting, which made everything seem even worse than it was. Not that it’s worse, but it’s unnatural, uneven. Later I will try to take and add photos of my cheeks. See for yourself. So, girls, deciding to Still assess the risks. It is better to walk with wrinkles than with fibrosis. Wrinkles are small indentations and look natural, but tubercles are bulges and look, to put it mildly, unnatural, and not to mention that they are

I am a cosmetologist with 5 years of experience. I tried everything on myself. I started with Juvederm and didn’t change it for 2 years. But it went away quickly, just like with my clients. This is a 2nd generation filler. Outdated HA crosslinking. It’s just heavily advertised and expensive because of it. Lasts 2-3 times less than promised. I like Surzhik and Style. Although the swelling lasts for 5-7 days, it lasts for more than a year.

How often can filler injections be repeated? Andrey Fedorov, lecturer at the Department of Dermatovenereology, Russian National Research Medical University named after. Pirogova: “It is advisable to repeat the procedures after complete resorption of the previously administered product, that is, on average after 10-12 months.” Aisulu Tokaeva - dermatovenerologist, cosmetologist: “Depends on the density of the drug, habits, lifestyle and health of the patient. My personal observations: with chronic rheumatoid arthritis, filler consumption occurs faster. If we talk about average guidelines, it could be like this: lips - once every 6 months; cheekbones - once every 8-12 months; contour plastic surgery - once every 6-18 months.”

The area of ​​the face around the nose and lips is very vulnerable to the appearance of wrinkles: active facial expressions provoke the appearance of skin creases. The invention of fillers has made the fight against them painless and quick. But you need to know that fillers can be different: permanent, dissolving over time, or consisting of the patient’s own fat tissue. The doctor approaches the selection of a suitable filler individually. There are also indications and contraindications for injections into the nasolabial area, which must be taken into account so that the result does not bring disappointment and does not turn out to be a waste of money.

The area of ​​the nasolabial folds is extremely mobile, so wrinkles can appear before the age of 30, and already at an older age, massages and just a moisturizer stop helping. Defects in this area are most pronounced and most difficult to correct due to the active work of the facial muscles. Modern cosmetology offers the fight against age-related changes by introducing special fillers. Get visible results from the first procedure.

What are fillers

Filler is an injectable filler that is injected subcutaneously into the area of ​​wrinkles or to increase tissue volume (cheekbones, lips, etc.). Fillers are either synthetic or biocompatible. The main component of most of the most commonly used fillers is stabilized hyaluronic acid (animal or non-animal origin).

The result is the elimination of wrinkles and increased skin elasticity.

Many drugs contain an anesthetic, so their use does not cause pain, but discomfort may occur.

Correction is indicated from 30-35 years of age, when the skin condition is not yet aggravated by hormonal changes, but skin care cream and face masks no longer help. It is during this age period that the maximum rejuvenation effect can be achieved with the help of fillers.

After 50 years, such a procedure does not work as well as we would like; resorting to injections loses its effectiveness due to menopause. After 60 years, it is better to choose surgical techniques.

The essence of the technique

With age, the skin loses its elasticity, it sags, and wrinkles deepen. The only way to remove defects is correction with fillers. They can also be used to enlarge lips and cheekbones.

Other means cannot completely replace them, because even skin tightening cannot cope with the lack of soft tissue.

The advantages of injections: safety, quick recovery, no effect on facial muscles, which means maintaining lively facial expressions.

Hyaluronic acid, the main substance in the composition, is a natural moisturizer that is produced in the body. With age, the content decreases, and the network of collagen and elastin fibers begins to sag. Fillers differ in HA concentration and degree of viscosity.

The result of the injection is visible after the first time due to the instant thickening of the dermis: nasolabial wrinkles disappear, the skin is smoothed and moisturized, and becomes radiant.

Filling soft tissues allows you to target the problem area. The effect lasts for several months, often several injections are enough for a year (this depends on individual characteristics).

Hyaluronic gels are gently introduced and distributed well under the skin.

High-quality ones dissolve on their own, with practically no side effects.

Therefore, cosmetologists strongly recommend choosing only natural-based products that break down through biodegradation and are absorbed by the body without consequences.

What drugs are used

The best fillers for nasolabial folds are considered to be Korean, American, French and Italian. Rating of the most popular drugs:

  1. Overage Deep − the Italian manufacturer paid special attention to the soft distribution of the filler in the skin without additional massage. A special feature is the long-lasting effect up to 12 months.
  2. Patch filler from Librederm – a Korean invention that is suitable for independent use at home. Each patch has 130 microneedles of hyaluronic acid, which dissolves within 3-4 hours. The optimal remedy for early signs of aging.
  3. Regines – plastic absorbable filler from a South Korean brand. Contains an anesthetic. Does not cause allergies.
  4. Juvederm Ultra 3 and 4 - from an American manufacturer. Fillers have optimal viscosity to fill wrinkles of varying depths in mobile areas of the face. Hyaluronic acid goes through many stages of purification and is not rejected by the body. Contains lidocaine.
  5. Revofil Ultra – made in South Korea, recommended for people over 35 years old. Contains antioxidants and peptides, the effect lasts up to 12 months.
  6. Stylage Lubaratoire Vivacy – the line includes preparations marked S, M, L for wrinkles of various depths. The gel does not clump. Contains lidocaine and antioxidants.


Cost of drugs, where to buy

Average price for drugs per 1 ml (1 syringe) in Russian rubles:

Overage Deep 14 000
Librederm patches From 1000
Regines From 3000
Juvederm Ultra 3.4 12 000 – 16 000
Revofil Ultra From 4 200
Stylage Lubaratoire Vivacy 13 000- 17 000

You can buy drugs in specialized cosmetic stores, beauty salons and clinics. The price in online stores is often lower.

Contraindications

You should treat injections with special caution - you need to consult a cosmetologist in advance about diseases and individual features of the facial structure, and find out contraindications to injection techniques.

Health restrictions include:

  1. Allergy to the components of the drug;
  2. Autoimmune diseases;
  3. Oncology;
  4. Pregnancy and lactation;
  5. Infections and inflammations;
  6. Injuries and skin diseases in the treatment area;
  7. Blood clotting disorder;
  8. Rosacea.

Also, prohibitions on the use of fillers include the presence of jowls, swelling and ptosis above degree 2, excessively thin skin, and a tendency to form scars.

Hyaluronic fillers act to fill the tissues, so they make the already drooping parts of the face heavier, increasing the swelling of these areas.

The consequences can be very serious, and complications will contribute to the aggravation of problems, even asymmetry of features is possible.

Most often, anti-wrinkle beauty injections are suitable for thin faces and finely wrinkled types of aging.

Precautionary measures

Only a cosmetologist with a medical education can give an injection, because it is important to know the places where muscles are attached to the skin, the location of blood vessels and nerve clusters.

The injection technique depends on the correction area and the density of the product. Only adherence to technology and knowledge of the anatomical structure prevent complications.

Drugs must have certificates and be stored according to instructions, taking into account expiration dates. The package is opened in front of the patient.

Even after a correctly performed procedure, improper facial care in the next 7-10 days can lead to filler displacement, the development of side effects and accelerated destruction of hyaluronic acid molecules.

Side effects

Possible consequences include:

  1. swelling;
  2. bruises;
  3. changes in skin color at injection sites;
  4. allergic reactions in case of increased individual sensitivity.

Complications usually subside within 7-10 days. Bruises appear most often in areas with an active blood supply.

If the procedure is violated or low-quality products are used, the harm can be extremely serious: infectious diseases and inflammation, Quincke's edema, formation of compactions, scars, tissue necrosis, embolism, gel migration, etc.

  1. If a lump has formed at the injection site, you should seek advice from a specialist and do not try to distribute the drug yourself. It can also appear if the filler is installed incorrectly, due to inflammatory diseases in the body and if the rules of skin care are not followed. In this case, the doctor prescribes physiotherapy and ultrasound.
  2. If the filler was installed too superficially, a blue stripe appears along the entire line of the nasolabial fold. This phenomenon disappears as the gel is absorbed.
  3. When correcting the lips, a hard cushion periodically forms above the upper lip. In this case, the introduction of an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid is required.

If there are serious side effects, it is necessary to consult a cosmetologist who will prescribe further care and procedures.

Description of the procedure

The correction takes about 30-60 minutes and does not require special rehabilitation afterwards. The volume of filler depends on the condition of the skin, but a standard 1 ml syringe is sufficient to fill the nasolabial fold.

Preparation

Preparation begins with cleansing the facial skin of makeup and impurities. The drug is removed from the refrigerator 20 minutes before the injection.

The cosmetologist may first recommend light peeling. Before administration, the skin is treated with a disinfectant and, if necessary, an anesthetic cream.

The product is checked for expiration date and opened in front of the patient.

Administration technique

The filler is injected with a needle along the wrinkle line into the nasolabial folds in one long injection, which passes under the skin so as to reach the end of the fold.

It is possible to carry out a light massage in the injection area by the doctor at the end of the procedure to evenly distribute the drug, and it is also recommended to apply a compress to relieve swelling.

Duration of action

The duration of the effect depends on the individual characteristics of the face and the quality of the drug. On average, the duration of action is 6-10 months, but can increase up to a year for certain fillers with a denser gel.

The result lasts longer with repeated injections throughout the year if correction is required.

Nelly Mezerya (Cosmetologist):

It should be noted that before correction with fillers, it is recommended to undergo a course of mesotherapy or biorevitalization to improve the overall condition of the skin and moisturize it. Then the biodegradation period of the filler increases and you will be able to enjoy the results of the procedure longer.

Photos before and after

Healing period

Rehabilitation does not take much time. The swelling subsides within 2-3 days, but final healing and distribution of the filler can take up to 10-14 days.

During this period, skin care should be as careful as possible; you should first consult a cosmetologist.

Before introducing fillers into the nasolabial folds, traumatic cosmetic procedures, including medium and deep peels, cannot be performed. Otherwise, you can use standard care and cosmetics.

Recommendations after the procedure:

  1. on the first day you cannot wear makeup or even use moisturizer; you are allowed to wash your face only the next day;
  2. During the week, active sports, visiting the sauna, bathhouse are prohibited, sunbathing, and opening your mouth wide are prohibited;
  3. if there is swelling, do not try to remove it with massage or compresses - in this case, you can displace the gel;
  4. in the next month, facial massage is prohibited without special indications from a specialist;
  5. avoid deep peelings and warming masks;
  6. When herpes appears, treatment is carried out with standard ointments.

If you take into account all the tips, the effect will be maximum and there will be no complications.

Cost of the procedure in clinics

The cost of injections depends on the region and level of the clinic. Average price in Russian rubles depending on the type of drug:

Barnaul 7000- 15 000
Novosibirsk 15 000- 23 000
Ekaterinburg 7 000 – 19 000
St. Petersburg 10 000- 23 000
Moscow 12 000- 25 000

Opinion of cosmetologists

Cosmetologists talk about the need for careful preparation for procedures - preference should be given to qualified specialists and biodegradable fillers:

Doctors point out the importance of general skin care, despite the rapid anti-aging effect after filler injection:

To “erase” several years from your face, sometimes it’s enough to smooth out the nasolabial folds. Cosmetologists successfully fight this type of wrinkles thanks to special preparations - fillers.

Find out what it is, when the result will be visible after injecting fillers into the nasolabial folds, read reviews about the procedure and look at photos before and after correction.

Why do nasolabial folds appear on the face?

Age-related changes on the face are indicated not only and not so much by wrinkles, but by deep nasolabial folds. Gravity affects all tissues, including those that form the face. As a result, the cheeks move down and the nasolabial folds deepen.

The facial expression becomes gloomy and gloomy. However, nasolabial folds can be observed not only in mature people, but also in young people.

Heredity plays a significant role in their formation, as well as the individual anatomical characteristics of an individual person.

In addition, the following can speed up the appearance of these folds:

  1. bad habits;
  2. wrong lifestyle and wrong diet;
  3. poor-quality or irregular facial skin care;
  4. high tone of facial muscles;
  5. diseases of internal organs.

In order to significantly reduce the depth of nasolabial folds and rejuvenate the face by 10-15 years, cosmetologists actively use the contour plastic method.

What is the essence of the technique?

The cosmetologist uses injections to inject special preparations called fillers into the area of ​​the nasolabial folds. Wrinkles in the skin are smoothed out by filling the space under the fold with a substance that was injected by a specialist.

Additionally, your own collagen is produced. Thanks to this method, even deep furrows can be smoothed out, giving the face a fresher and more youthful appearance.

Action and how long the effect lasts

With the help of fillers, the lost volume in the nasolabial fold, formed due to the discrepancy between muscle and fat tissue, is restored.

The duration of the effect depends on the drug chosen for correction and ranges on average from six months to 2-3 years. The face will return to its original state when the gel injected into the area of ​​the creases is completely absorbed and removed from the body.

We invite you to look at the photos before and after the procedure:

What drugs are used for contouring?

Fillers used to straighten nasolabial folds are divided into several large groups:

  1. Gels based on stabilized hyaluronic acid. These are very popular drugs, successfully used not only to combat nasolabial folds, but also other signs of facial aging. Hyaluronic acid is good because it does not cause allergic reactions, since it is a compound related to the human body. The effect of its use does not last very long - from 6 months to a year.

Gels containing calcium hydroxyapatite. This is a young drug that is gradually gaining the trust of cosmetologists.

Its introduction into the area of ​​the nasolabial folds not only smoothes out the skin, but also stimulates the production of new collagen fibers.

These fibers form a kind of framework, thanks to which the effect of the injections lasts for a period of up to 1.5-2 years, despite the fact that the filler is completely absorbed by that time.

Preparations containing collagen of artificial origin are used much less frequently, as they can cause allergic reactions. Fillers containing polylactic acid are very expensive compounds, and therefore are not yet actively used. These preparations are similar to the self-absorbable suture material used in surgical interventions.

All these drugs are biodegradable, therefore they are temporary.

There is also a group of fillers that are called permanent or permanent. These include biopolymer gels and liquid silicone. Once in the body, these drugs will remain there forever, so their correct administration by an experienced cosmetologist is extremely important.

Administration technique, when changes will be visible

The rejuvenation procedure with fillers takes place in three stages:

  1. Anesthesia. 20 minutes before the injection, a special anesthetic is injected into the area of ​​the nasolabial folds. Alternatively, a numbing cream may be used.
Injections. The cosmetologist injects the drug into the nasolabial folds through a microneedle. The number of injections is calculated individually. As a rule, these are 2-3 injections. The filler fills existing voids, smoothing out creases. Massage . To prevent the gel from accumulating in one area, the specialist distributes it with special massage movements.

The result of the procedure will be noticeable after 7-10 days, when some swelling caused by the injections has passed. The specialist assesses the final effect after 2-3 weeks.

Contraindications and possible complications

This type of rejuvenation has a number of contraindications, including the following conditions:

  1. acute inflammatory processes of the facial skin, inflamed acne, herpes;
  2. pregnancy and lactation;
  3. allergy to any components of fillers;
  4. violation of the blood clotting process;
  5. renal or liver failure;
  6. diseases of the cardiovascular system during the period of decompensation;
  7. oncological diseases;
  8. immunodeficiency states.

After the procedure, some complications may occur:

  1. edema;
  2. redness;
  3. pain in the injection area;
  4. itching, burning sensation;
  5. injection marks;
  6. minor bruises.

All these unpleasant symptoms do not require treatment and go away on their own within 7-10 days.

After an incorrect procedure for introducing fillers into the nasolabial lips or insufficient competence of a cosmetologist, some consequences are possible:

Recommendations for skin care before and after treatment

3-4 days before and for 5-6 days after filler injections, taking medications that reduce blood viscosity, such as aspirin and the like, is prohibited. The recovery period after injections passes quickly, the patient is sent home after one hour. It is advisable not to take a horizontal position for the first 4 hours after rejuvenation.

At this time, the head should be higher than the level of the body. In addition, for several hours after the procedure it is forbidden to strain the facial muscles, especially in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds.

On the day of the injections, as well as in the next 2-3 days, you should not apply correctors, concealers, foundations or skin care products to your facial skin.

While there is swelling and redness in the treated areas of the skin, the face should be protected from direct sunlight, solarium, massage, exposure to high temperatures (bath, sauna), and peelings.

Average prices

Rejuvenation through contouring can occur through various medications. The cost of the procedure for filling nasolabial folds with fillers depends on the price of each specific drug and the number of injections required.

Patient opinion, video

“I was first injected with fillers along the length of all the folds, and after two weeks they made adjustments: they added a little drug and worked on the asymmetry. Both times I was under the influence of local anesthesia. It was unpleasant, but I didn’t feel much pain. Small papules persisted for two days and there was slight swelling.

Fillers filled the nasolabial area and raised the skin in this area. The effect lasted for a whole year, the drug had already completely dissolved, but so far the skin is the same as after the injections. The injections were repeated after 1 year 9 months. The repeated procedure was faster and easier.

There were no bruises or bruises, only swelling, which went down on the fourth day. I’m very pleased with the results, my face is minus 5 years, my mood is great, I have more self-confidence.”

“I didn’t have any improvement, absolutely none. Moreover, the situation seems to have only gotten worse. Some folds appeared that were not there before!

I heard that fillers in the nasolabial folds are not suitable for everyone and an experienced cosmetologist should immediately see whether they will give an effect or not. I'm really sorry for wasting my money!"
Julia :

“I had a small nasolabial fold. After filler injections, it deepened and lengthened within a month. At the same time, my cosmetologist claims that I am making everything up and nothing like that happened. But I’m scared to look at myself in the mirror now and I don’t know what to do now. Conclusion: don’t rush to inject fillers, read reviews on different sites. And yes, if you are going to have a procedure, choose your cosmetologist more carefully.”
Valentina:

“I put fillers in my nasolabial lips. It was unpleasant, but bearable. In the morning, the mirror shocked me: I was swollen, as if I hadn’t stopped drinking for a month. Moreover, the swelling on the left was greater than on the right, it even caused my mouth to squint. I called the cosmetologist, she reassured me, saying that this is how it should be.

After 2 days, the swelling went down by more than half. After 2 weeks, the face returned to normal, and there were almost no nasal lips left! To say that I am satisfied is to say nothing! The face immediately became younger. I will definitely do it again.”
