As we age, nasolabial folds gradually appear and deepen, making one look haggard and weathered. Collagen treatment for nasolabial folds can restore a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Below, Dongfanghong shares the procedure for collagen-based nasolabial fold reduction. The specific steps for collagen nasolabial fold reduction are as follows:
1. Preparation: Before injecting collagen for nasolabial fold reduction, the recipient should carefully read the instructions.
2. Disinfection: The practitioner should wash their hands, preferably wearing sterile gloves, and perform routine skin disinfection at the injection site.
3. Injection Position: The patient should lie down or adopt a semi-recumbent position with head support.
4. The practitioner holds the collagen syringe with the needle angled upward.Left hand tenses the skin; right hand inserts the needle at a 15-degree angle into the wrinkle.
5. Advance the needle to the wrinkle's end while slowly injecting collagen. Keep the hand steady without moving the syringe back and forth. Aim for even distribution. The ideal result is gradual skin whitening and slight elevation. If skin color remains unchanged, the needle was inserted too deeply.
6. Each injection should "overcorrect" the depression, adding 1.5 to 2 times the volume of the original indentation.
7. After injection, use a cotton swab to gently massage the area.
6. For each injection to reduce nasolabial folds, aim for "overcorrection"—injecting 1.5 to 2 times the volume of the original depression.
7. After completion, use a cotton swab to gently press any collagen that has spread beyond the wrinkle back into the crease. This ensures even distribution within the wrinkle for optimal filling results.
