Nasolabial Fold Filler is a non-surgical treatment that softens the deep lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth – commonly known as smile lines or laugh lines. By carefully injecting hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler, the area is plumped and smoothed for a refreshed and youthful appearance.

At Cosmo Clinic in Lisbon, nasolabial fold treatment is assessed in the context of the full midface. In some cases, addressing cheek volume loss reduces the folds more effectively than direct fold injection alone. Our doctors will advise on the most appropriate approach for your anatomy.

FAQ

What causes nasolabial folds?

They appear with age due to loss of collagen, fat, and volume in the mid-face.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Numbing cream is often used for comfort.

How long do results last?

Usually between 9 to 15 months depending on filler type and lifestyle.

Will I look natural?

Yes – when administered correctly, the result is a smoother, rejuvenated look without stiffness.

What is nasolabial fold filler

Nasolabial fold filler is an aesthetic medicine treatment that corrects the lines descending from the nose to the corners of the mouth, the nasolabial folds. Using cross-linked hyaluronic acid, the procedure softens the fold, restores lost volume, and harmonises the mid-face. In Lisbon, it is one of the most requested facial fillers from the age of 30 onwards.

Who is it for

Adults with nasolabial folds visible at rest, loss of structural support in the mid-face, or a general look of fatigue associated with descending malar volume. Suitable across all skin phototypes. Where significant skin laxity is present, filler is frequently combined with biostimulators for a more complete outcome.

What to expect from the session

Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes. After topical anaesthesia, hyaluronic acid is injected in a deep plane with a needle or cannula, depending on anatomy and tissue density. The preferred technique favours bolus deposits over bony structures rather than linear filling of the fold itself, this avoids an overfilled, flattened appearance.

Results timeline

The effect is immediate, with visible fold softening during the session itself. Final results stabilise after 14 days, once post-procedural swelling resolves. Average duration is 12 to 18 months, varying with the product used and individual metabolism.

Aftercare

Avoid make-up on the treated area for 12 hours, and steer clear of intense exercise, saunas, and prolonged sun exposure for 48 hours. Sleep on your back for the first few nights. Small bruises are possible and resolve in 5 to 7 days. Topical arnica accelerates recovery, and daily sunscreen is essential for two weeks.

Why Cosmo Clinic

Our medical team in Lisbon takes a structural approach to facial filler: we treat the anatomical causes of the nasolabial fold rather than simply filling the crease. Consultations are available in Portuguese and English, book a personalised assessment with our team.
