Fillers are injected through an ultra-fine needle beneath the surface of the skin, under the wrinkle or scar, where they correct the textural irregularity partly by plumping and smoothing out the skin depression. The filler acts to restore volume and fullness to the skin, thereby softening and improving its appearance. Beyond treating individual wrinkles, injectable fillers are now used to broadly add back volume to areas of the face where fat content has been lost over time. Many patients experience a flattening of their cheeks and other areas of the face as they age, and fillers may be used to restore a more youthful appearance to the skin by structurally supporting the skin and adding volume back where it has been lost.

Nasolabial folds are the lines that extend from the outer corners of the nose down to the outer corners of the mouth. Nasolabial folds deepen when our cheeks or mid face start to sag due to volume loss. They become more prominent when people smile. Depending on the cause of the laugh lines, either cheek fillers, nasolabial fold fillers or a combination of both can be used to rejuvenate this area. Fillers can either be injected into the cheeks to lift the mid face, hence reducing the appearance of the nasolabial folds or they can be injected directly into the nasolabial folds, giving them a noticeable lift and volume replacement.
