Softening nasolabial folds in Southport

The nasolabial folds run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They deepen as the mid-face loses volume, which is why softening them is often about supporting the cheek as much as filling the line itself. We treat them thoughtfully as part of our dermal filler treatments in Southport, so the result looks smooth rather than overfilled.

Natural Results You'll Love

Eases deep folds
Filler softens the nose-to-mouth lines that can make the face look tired or older than it feels.
Because these folds are often driven by cheek volume loss, we may support the mid-face too for a more natural result.
The aim is a softer fold, not a smoothed-over face. Your smile and natural movement stay intact.

Why nasolabial filler works

Deep nasolabial folds are usually a mid-face problem showing up at the mouth. When the cheek deflates, the tissue slides down and settles into the fold. Filling the line alone can look heavy, so we assess whether supporting the cheek first would give a better, softer result. Treating the cause is what keeps the outcome looking natural rather than patched.

Treatment time:

About 30 minutes

Downtime:

Minimal. Mild swelling for one to two days.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Avoid touching or pressing the area for the rest of the day, skip strenuous exercise, alcohol and heat (saunas, sunbeds) for 24 to 48 hours, and sleep slightly elevated if you notice swelling. Mild tenderness or bruising settles within a few days. Full aftercare guidance is on our aftercare page.

I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough. This was my very first appointment with Rachel and it certainly won’t be my last, she made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. She is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to really listen and understand what you want to achieve. Rachel has a very natural approach and her attention to detail is amazing. I feel confident knowing I’m in such skilled hands, and the results have been exactly what I hoped for. Thank you, Rachel, for your care, expertise, and for always making the whole experience so positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a trusted and talented practitioner.

I recently had polynucleotide under-eye injections with Rachel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with both the experience and the results so far. From the moment I arrived, Rachel was incredibly welcoming, professional, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain the treatment thoroughly and made me feel completely comfortable and reassured throughout the entire process. The treatment itself was surprisingly pain-free, with minimal discomfort and very little downtime afterwards. I’ve already noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of my under-eye area - it looks brighter, more refreshed, and the fine lines have softened noticeably. As someone who works night shifts in the NHS, tired-looking eyes have always been a concern for me, so seeing such positive results already has been amazing. I’m excited to complete the rest of my treatment course and see the full benefits. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone considering polynucleotide treatments. Her professionalism, expertise, and friendly approach make the whole experience exceptional ❤️

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

They form as the mid-face loses volume and the skin loses elasticity, so the tissue settles into a fold from nose to mouth. Genetics and expression play a part too.
It softens them significantly rather than erasing them entirely. Some natural creasing when you smile is normal and keeps you looking like you.
Often the cheek. Supporting the mid-face lifts the fold from above, which usually looks more natural than filling the line directly. We assess this at consultation.
Around 9 to 18 months, depending on the product used and the depth of the fold.
We numb the area first and most clients find it comfortable. You may feel mild pressure during placement.
Not with a measured approach. We treat conservatively and review as we go, so the fold softens without the area looking bulky.
