Hyaluronic acid injections into the subcutaneous layer effectively smooth skin folds, fine lines, or fill minor facial depressions through a simple, rapid, and efficient procedure. Once injected, hyaluronic acid is gradually metabolized and absorbed by the body, with results typically lasting 6-18 months per session. The rate of metabolism varies based on individual physiology.
Follow these tips to prolong the effects after nasolabial fold reduction:
1. Use the right skincare products
Choose skincare containing ingredients that promote collagen regeneration in the dermis, support exfoliation and cell turnover, or provide hormone-like supportive components. These can boost cellular renewal and firm the skin.
2. Maintain proper sleeping posture
Sleep on your back whenever possible. Sleeping on your side may compromise wrinkle reduction results and accelerate the reappearance of nasolabial folds.Additionally, using a mulberry silk pillowcase can help prevent facial wrinkles.
3. Control facial expressions
Beyond smiling, which naturally forms laugh lines, exaggerated expressions like pursing lips, pouting, or squinting can increase the likelihood of nasolabial folds reappearing. Smile often, but avoid overly dramatic facial movements.
4. Massage to Smooth Lines
Before massaging, apply ample massage lotion (cream) or oil to prevent skin irritation. Use your entire palms and fingertips to apply pressure along facial bones. Keep your mouth closed and gently clench your teeth throughout the massage.
