How to Get Rid of Laugh Lines with Juvederm Dermal Filler

Laugh lines start to form when we’re young and before more advanced signs of aging have set in. Laugh lines are superficial creases that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are caused by daily wear-and-tear such as smiling, laughing and making facial expressions. We tend to see laugh lines first appear in patients in their 20’s and 30’s.

Prevent Laugh Lines from Getting Worse

If your 40-year old self could give your 20-year old self a word of advice it would be this: don’t ignore your laugh lines. If left untreated the superficial crease can morph into a harder-to-treat problem over time known as the nasolabial fold. Folds are much deeper and involve some degree of volume loss.

For this reason it’s a good idea to visit your cosmetic doctor at the first sign of laugh lines for a little preventative maintenance. This would involve a number of ‘fixes’ the most simple one being injecting a conservative amount of dermal filler such as Juvederm into the laugh laugh directly and possibly the cheeks.

Solution for Nasolabial Folds, the Deeper Laugh Lines

If you’re at the point where your laugh lines have become deep nasolabial folds and dermal filler hasn’t resulted in sufficient improvement then to correct the problem you may want to consider other modalities in addition to dermal filler to restore fullness to the mid-face region.

A good place to start is with a skin tightening procedure such as the Profound RF Plus. This involves micro-needling radio frequency treatments followed 12-16 weeks later by Juvederm injections. The goal is to improve collagen integrity of the skin first then to add volume, thereby improving overall facial appearance and particularly softening the nasolabial folds.
