Nasolabial fold filler
Cosmo Clinic Team
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.
Is this treatment painful?
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.
Is there any downtime after nasolabial fold filler?
No significant downtime is required. Mild swelling or bruising may appear for a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
How much filler is typically needed?
Volume requirements vary by the depth of the fold and the degree of mid-face support present. Most patients require 0.5–1ml per side for visible improvement. Your doctor will assess this at the consultation.
Can nasolabial fold filler be combined with cheek filler?
Yes, and this combination frequently produces superior results. The nasolabial fold deepens partly due to mid-face volume loss — treating the cheeks reduces the downward pull that creates the line. Direct fold filler then softens what remains. Your doctor will assess the most effective approach.
At what age do people typically start treating nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial folds become more pronounced with age as volume is lost from the mid-face. Treatment is commonly sought from the late 30s onward, though the appropriate timing depends on anatomy rather than age. Some patients with naturally deeper folds benefit from treatment earlier.
