Nasolabial fold
Suffering from a deep crease of the nose? Aging and loss of volume reinforce this line. At Kliniek Dokter Frodo, discover how fillers provide a fresher and softer appearance.
What anatomical changes cause the aging of the nasolabial fold?
The nasolabial fold plays a crucial role in facial balance and expression. As we age, this region undergoes various anatomical changes that contribute to the depth and visibility of the fold. One of the most important processes is bone atrophy, where the bone tissue in the upper jaw and cheekbones gradually decreases. This decrease in bone mass reduces the underlying structure that supports the skin and surrounding tissues, leading to a loss of facial definition. This makes the nasolabial fold more prominent.
In addition, it ensures loss of skin elasticity for a further deterioration of the appearance. Over the years, the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of resilient and firm skin, decreases. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and less able to adapt to the changing structures underneath. This results in a less smooth transition between different facial areas, making shadows and lines more visible.
Another significant process is the shift of fat compartments. In a young face, the fat compartments are evenly distributed, providing soft, smooth contours. As we age, fat tissue shifts, sinks down and accumulates in the lower parts of the face, such as the nasolabial fold and marionette lines. This leads to loss of volume in the upper half of the face and a strengthening of wrinkles and creases.
Why have your nasolabial fold treated with fillers?
The nasolabial fold is one of the most prominent facial lines that deepens over the years. This is due to loss of volume in the surrounding structures and a decrease in collagen and elastin in the skin. Fillers offer a safe and effective way to soften these lines and support the skin without surgery. Subtly filling in the nasolabial fold reduces shadows, smoothes wrinkles and gives the face a fresher and younger look. In addition, fillers often provide a lifting effect because they provide support to the surrounding structures. For younger men and women, fillers can also be used preventively to improve facial contours.
At Clinic Doctor Frodo, we treat the nasolabial fold with fillers to:
- To soften the line: Fillers make the nasolabial fold less deep, making the face look softer and fresher.
- Volume to restore: By supporting the surrounding volume, the pressure on the nasolabial fold is reduced.
- To maintain a natural look: Our treatments focus on subtle improvements without making the results look excessive.

What is the treatment for the nasolabial fold?
When treating the nasolabial fold, we use high-quality hyaluronic acid fillers. These are carefully injected with a cannula or fine needle, depending on your specific needs. The choice of a cannula reduces the risk of bruising and ensures an almost painless treatment. Often, we not only fill in the nasolabial fold itself, but also restore volume in the surrounding areas, such as the cheekbones. This supports the contours of the face and ensures a longer lasting result. The treatment takes an average of 30 minutes and the result is immediately visible.
We often look beyond the nasolabial fold, because local treatment does not always best meet your expectations. Here we look at your face as a whole. Those who wait too long to receive treatment or are genetically responsible for a deep nasolabial fold may be an option. Whether or not this is desirable can be discussed during the first consultation. According to the principle of Whole Face Approach we look beyond the area to be treated and then draw up the treatment plan with you. Together with you, we will look at the various options, such as the Liquid Facelift, where we not only repair weaknesses, but also highlight strong viewpoints.
