Smile line treatment at Forever Young Spa. Fills and lifts nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid filler. 262 Beacon Street, Suite 3.
Nasolabial fold filler fills the groove that runs from the nose to the mouth corners, reducing the shadow and depth that give a fatigued appearance. The most natural results combine fold filler with midface lifting — treating the cause, not just the crease. Complimentary consultation included.
The most common mistake with nasolabial fold filler is treating only the fold. Understanding the structural cause determines whether a fold-only, midface-only, or combined approach produces the most natural result.
Fold-Only Filler
Filler placed directly in the nasolabial groove fills the crease and reduces its depth. This is appropriate for clients whose folds are primarily driven by repeated expression movement rather than midface descent. Used conservatively, it softens the fold without adding visible product to the face.
Midface + Fold (Combined)
In most clients, nasolabial folds deepen because the midface fat pad descends with age — the skin is dragged into the fold by gravity and volume loss. Cheek filler placed to re-lift the midface reduces the fold from above, while a small amount of fold filler refines the crease. Combined treatment looks more natural because it addresses the structural cause.
Product quantities depend on fold depth and whether a combined midface approach is appropriate. Your injector will determine the right plan at consultation.

Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth — often called smile lines or parenthesis lines. They are formed by the repeated action of smiling and by the descent of the midface fat pad with age. When prominent, they can give a fatigued or aged appearance even when the face is relaxed. Mild nasolabial folds are normal facial anatomy; deep or static nasolabial folds (visible even without smiling) are the appropriate target for filler treatment.
Filler placed in the nasolabial fold physically fills the groove, reducing its depth and the shadow it casts. The most effective treatment addresses both the fold directly and the midface volume loss that allows the skin to descend into the fold — cheek filler placed to lift the midface reduces nasolabial folds more naturally than fold-only filler treatment. Your injector will assess whether fold-only, midface-only, or combined treatment is most appropriate for your anatomy.
Nasolabial folds typically require 0.5 to 1.5 syringes total (split between both sides). Mild folds use 0.5 to 1 syringe; deeper folds use 1 to 1.5 syringes. Combined cheek-plus-fold treatments — treating the volume loss that drives fold formation — may use 2 to 3 syringes total across the midface and fold.
Nasolabial fold filler lasts 9 to 12 months on average. The fold is an area of moderate muscle activity, which causes the filler to metabolize faster than in the cheek. Maintenance treatments at the 9 to 12 month mark maintain the result and typically require slightly less product than the initial treatment.
Nasolabial fold filler is priced per syringe at $700 to $900. A typical treatment uses 0.5 to 1.5 syringes ($350 to $1,350). Combined midface treatments using cheek filler plus fold filler use 2 to 3 syringes total ($1,400 to $2,700). Members receive 15% off all filler treatments. A consultation is recommended before treatment — the right approach depends on whether the fold is primarily driven by volume loss or by movement.
