What is nasolabial fold filler?
Nasolabial folds are the creases that run from the sides of your nose towards the corners of your mouth. They are a normal part of your face and can become more noticeable as facial volume and skin change over time.
Nasolabial fold filler may help soften a deeper crease where treatment is appropriate. At Skin Techniques, we assess the folds and surrounding face before recommending an approach. This is one of our dermal filler treatments, with the aim of softening the concern while keeping your expression and features natural.
What it helps
What can nasolabial fold filler help with?
Treatment may help soften deeper nose-to-mouth creases or reduce the shadow along a fold. The possible improvement depends on the depth of the crease, your skin and the support in the surrounding tissues.
Changes in cheek volume can contribute to how these folds look, so we may discuss cheek filler during your assessment. Where skin laxity or heavier tissue is the main cause, another approach may be more appropriate than filling the crease directly. We’ll explain the options suited to your face.

How it works
How does nasolabial fold filler work?
Filler adds volume beneath the skin to soften the depth or shadow of a fold. We plan the placement around what is contributing to the crease, including whether facial volume loss has affected support in the surrounding areas.
Your face will still move when you smile, and some of the fold may remain visible. The aim is to soften its appearance while preserving natural movement. Initial swelling can affect the result, so we assess the area once it has settled.
Our approach
Our specialist full-face approach to dermal fillers
At Skin Techniques, we specialise in a personalised, full-face approach to dermal fillers. You might come to us with a particular treatment in mind, but the area you notice isn’t always the only place we need to consider.
Changes in volume, skin quality and the support around your features can all contribute to the same concern. Sometimes treating one area is appropriate; sometimes a combination of treatments may be more helpful.
We take time to understand what is causing your concern and how your features work together before recommending a treatment plan. You don’t need to know exactly what to book—we’ll explain the options and help you decide on an approach that suits your face and what you’d like to achieve.
Your questions
Nasolabial fold filler FAQs
Is nasolabial fold filler the same as smile line filler?
The terms are often used for the same nose-to-mouth folds. However, “smile lines” can also mean other facial lines, so we’ll make sure we understand the exact area you’d like to discuss before recommending treatment.
Can filler completely remove nasolabial folds?
Complete removal is usually not a realistic goal. These folds are part of normal facial anatomy and become more noticeable with movement. Treatment aims to soften a pronounced crease while keeping the surrounding contours and your expression natural.
Should I have cheek filler or nasolabial fold filler?
That depends on what is contributing to the fold. We’ll assess your cheek volume and the crease itself before making a recommendation. Some people may benefit from cheek filler, local treatment or a different approach. You don’t need to choose beforehand.
How long does nasolabial fold filler last?
Results often last around 6–18 months. The filler, placement and your individual response all affect duration. We’ll assess the remaining filler and how the folds currently look before discussing maintenance, rather than automatically repeating the original amount.
