Nasolabial Folds Treatment in Folkestone & Sheerness
Nasolabial folds — often called smile lines or laugh lines — run from the sides of the nose down to the corners of the mouth. While everyone has some degree of these lines when smiling, they can become more pronounced over time due to volume loss and reduced skin elasticity, appearing even at rest.
At KBP Aesthetics, we treat nasolabial folds using targeted dermal filler to soften their appearance while preserving natural facial expression and movement. Available at our Folkestone and Sheerness clinics in Kent.
What Causes Nasolabial Folds?
How Nasolabial Fold Treatment Works
Dermal filler is placed strategically along the fold itself and, often, in the surrounding cheek area — since restoring cheek volume can indirectly soften nasolabial folds by improving the overall support structure of the mid-face. This combined approach typically achieves more natural, longer-lasting results than treating the fold in isolation.
Am I a Good Candidate for Nasolabial Fold Treatment?
This treatment suits clients with visible nasolabial folds, whether from volume loss, skin laxity, or a combination of both. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether treating the fold directly, restoring cheek volume, or a combination of both will achieve the most natural result for your face.
As with all filler treatments, suitability depends on medical history, current medication, and whether you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
