What is a Nasolabial Fold?
This fold, also called the nasolabial fold, runs from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. As we age, our skin loses volume and produces less collagen. This leads to deeper wrinkles, making the face appear older, even if other parts of the skin remain youthful.
Filler treatment for nasolabial folds
This treatment can smooth wrinkles and give you a more youthful look, similar to a liquid facelift.
Benefits of a Nasolabial Fold Filler Treatment

Hyaluronic Acid: An Excellent Option for Correcting Nasolabial Folds
- For significant nasolabial folds, hyaluronic acid fillers are a popular and temporary solution. This substance is a natural component of the human body, which helps minimize the risk of allergic reactions and guarantees an authentic, natural-looking result.
- Unlike permanent fillers, hyaluronic acid fillers are designed to be broken down gradually by the body, which explains their temporary nature. Results typically last between eight and twelve months after injection, but the exact duration can vary from person to person. If the effect diminishes, a repeat treatment is a simple option!
- A unique property of hyaluronic acid is its ability to bind up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. This helps retain moisture in the skin tissue, effectively restoring lost volume and achieving optimal aesthetic results.
Aftercare instructions following nasolabial fold treatment
24 hours after the procedure:
If there is swelling in the treated area, it is recommended to use a cool compress. If bruising occurs in the treated area, it can be concealed with makeup. These symptoms are normal and will usually disappear within two days.
48 hours after the procedure:
It is recommended to avoid physical exertion, such as sports, for 48 hours after the procedure. It is also advisable to avoid tanning beds or saunas and direct sunlight for two weeks after the procedure, as UV radiation can affect the effects of the filler treatment.
Six weeks after the procedure:
It is recommended to schedule a follow-up appointment after six weeks to evaluate the treatment results and discuss any subsequent steps.
How long will the effect of the treatment last?
The duration of the effect of nasolabial fold filler varies, but is usually between nine and twelve months. This can vary from person to person, as the body breaks down the hyaluronic acid filler over time.
Don’t worry if the effect wears off; repeating the treatment is entirely possible. If you notice any diminishing results, you can easily schedule a new appointment at Doctor Contour Clinic.

FAQ
- Avoiding Permanent Fillers:
Permanent fillers can lead to complications, such as hardening, abscesses, and inflammation. In some cases, they cannot be removed and are therefore considered risky. - Opting for Temporary Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in our skin that contributes to its elasticity and hydration. The effect of these temporary fillers can vary from 6 to 24 months, as the body naturally breaks down this substance. - Cost of Filler Treatment:
An average filler treatment costs between €280 and €400 for 1 ml. This price is based on various factors, including the products used, the duration of the consultation and treatment, and your specific wishes. - Beware of Permanent and Cheap Fillers:
Very low prices can be an indication of uncertified products. These fillers often originate from Asia and carry serious risks.
It is crucial that a filler treatment is performed by a qualified and skilled physician. This professional must have in-depth knowledge of the products used, facial anatomy, various injection techniques, and the potential risks associated with the procedure.
In Belgium and the Netherlands, the law stipulates that only licensed physicians may perform filler treatments. This legal provision is in place to ensure patient safety, as serious complications can occur when the treatment is performed by someone without adequate medical training and knowledge of facial anatomy.
Unfortunately, there are cases where aestheticians or other non-medical professionals offer these treatments illegally. This can have disastrous consequences for the patient, including serious complications such as blindness and necrosis (tissue death). Therefore, it is essential to always verify the practitioner’s qualifications and authorizations before deciding on such a cosmetic procedure.
During a filler treatment, a thorough consultation is conducted. Your wishes and questions are discussed, and the feasibility of fulfilling these wishes is evaluated.
Most fillers contain a local anesthetic, which minimizes discomfort during the injections. The injections are administered using very fine needles and flexible microcannulas.
Immediately after the injections, pressure is applied to the treated area with gauze.
The duration of the treatment session varies, but is generally short and depends on the number of injections required.
You can generally resume your normal activities immediately after the procedure.
It is normal to experience some redness, bruising, and swelling after the injections. These side effects are generally temporary and usually disappear within 24 to 48 hours.
If desired, you can use cold packs to reduce swelling. These are available at the clinic.
Swelling may persist longer after treatment of the lips, nose, or tear trough than in other treated areas. If the symptoms do not subside, or if you notice any other reactions, we recommend contacting the Doctor Contour Clinic.
- Cool
After your treatment, it is recommended to cool the treated area with ice packs. Change these packs every 10 minutes, but do not place them directly on the skin. Avoid strenuous activities for 24 hours and avoid exposure to intense heat, such as a visit to a tanning bed or sauna. - Calm
Try to avoid pressure on the treated areas for the first few nights after treatment. If possible, sleep on your back. You can take paracetamol for pain relief, but always follow your doctor’s advice. - Clear
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and avoid the use of AHA, Retinol/Vitamin C therapies, or oil-based makeup within the same period.
For one week after treatment, you should avoid facials, cleansing, glycolic or AHA peels, IPL or energy treatments, and microdermabrasion, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Do not massage the treated area unless specifically directed to do so by your doctor. Ideally, you should not wear makeup until the day after the procedure.
For patients receiving lip fillers, it is recommended not to smoke for at least 24 hours after the injections – a perfect time to consider quitting smoking altogether.
Also, avoid applying lipstick during these 24 hours.
Additional advice for patients with nose fillers: It is recommended not to wear glasses for 24 hours after the injections.
