Filler addresses volume, either lifting the fold by restoring the cheek or softening the crease directly, so it suits deeper folds. Skin boosters improve the skin itself, so they suit fine lines and quality rather than a deep fold. One rebuilds volume; the other improves skin, and often the cause of a deep fold is volume loss higher up.
If your nasolabial folds are deep and driven by volume loss, filler, often to the cheek, gives the most natural improvement. If the lines are fine and it is more about skin quality, boosters suit better. Many people benefit from both. We assess the cause at consultation and recommend the right approach.
