NOSE-TO-MOUTH LINES & FOLDS
Smile lines are part of having a face that actually smiles. We are certainly not here to take that away! But if the folds from your nose to your mouth have become deeper than you would like, filler may help soften them. We will look at your cheeks and mid-face too, because the place where you notice a line is not always the place that needs support.
Appointments available in Leytonstone, East London.
TREATMENT COST
£550 for 2 ml (recommended amount).
SESSIONS NEEDED
Usually one initial session, with a review if needed.
RESULTS
A change may be visible immediately. Allow for swelling to settle before judging the final appearance.
Nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose towards the mouth. Everyone has them to some degree, and the aim is not to erase your smile. If a fold has become deeper or more shadowed, dermal filler may soften it. Sometimes the cheeks need attention instead of, or as well as, the fold itself. We will explain what we see and why we suggest a particular approach.
We will examine your face at rest and in movement, then explain whether filler in the fold, cheek filler or a broader plan makes more sense. Many dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid and can add support where deeper folds have developed. The aim is a fresher look that still moves and smiles like you.
It may soften deeper nose-to-mouth folds and reduce the shadow alongside them. It will not erase every expression line, and a natural fold is part of facial anatomy. If skin texture or laxity is the main concern, we may discuss another option.
Your appointment will always start with a consultation so we can chat through your concerns, take a look at the treatment area and understand what you’d like to achieve. We will take time to understand what has been bothering you, explain what this treatment can realistically do for you, and answer any questions you have.
Everything is tailored 100% to you, and your unique goals. If you decide to go ahead, we'll apply a numbing cream, if appropriate, and begin the treatment. We won't start until you're 100% happy. At the end of the appointment you’ll also be given clear aftercare advice so you know exactly what to do afterwards and how to get the best from your results.

People often use “smile lines” for the folds running from the nose towards the mouth. We will make sure we are talking about the same area when you come in.
Not necessarily. Mid-face support can influence the appearance of these folds, but the right approach depends on your anatomy. We will explain any recommendation and its likely benefit.
The goal is to soften a deeper fold while preserving natural expression. We will discuss realistic changes and the limits of treatment before you decide.
