Nasolabial Fold Filler in Jamsil, Seoul
The short answer
Nasolabial fold filler at Shinebom Clinic in Jamsil, Seoul softens the creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, often called smile lines. The doctor adds minimum volume where the cheek has lost support, so the fold eases without a puffy or overfilled look. A touch-up is available within one month.
Key facts
- Area: the folds between the nose and mouth corners
- Cause: often cheek volume loss and skin laxity with age
- Amount: minimum, to avoid an overfilled look
- Makeup: possible right away
- Recovery: bruising and swelling settle in 1 to 2 weeks
Why do nasolabial folds deepen?
The fold is a natural line, but it deepens when the cheek fat pad descends and skin loses firmness. That is why treating only the crease sometimes looks heavy. The doctor first checks whether the mid-cheek needs support, then decides how much to place in the fold itself.
What are the options?
- Filler in the fold and cheek: restores support and softens the line.
- Skin boosters: improve texture, though not depth. See skin boosters.
- Lifting devices: tighten skin and tissue, for example Ulthera, which targets the area around the cheekbones and nasolabial region.
A combined plan is common, and the doctor will explain which part does what.
How is the treatment done?
Consultation comes first, then numbing cream or icing. The doctor injects small amounts and checks the face at rest and in motion. Shinebom Clinic uses genuine product, the full stated dose and new tips, and avoids overdone volume.
What about aftercare?
- Do not rub or massage the area.
- Wash and wear makeup right away; patch off next day.
- Avoid alcohol, sauna, hot baths and hard exercise for about 1 week.
Swelling and bruising typically settle in 1 to 2 weeks. Contact the clinic if pain worsens or skin color changes. See filler aftercare.
Is it right for everyone?
Very deep folds with loose skin may need more than filler, and the doctor will say so honestly. Tell the team about pregnancy, allergies and blood thinners. Explore the nasolabial folds concern page for the wider picture.
Frequently asked questions
Will the fold disappear completely?
The goal is to soften it, not erase it. A natural face keeps some line.
Why treat the cheek too?
Cheek support often drives the fold. Treating both can look more natural than filling the crease alone.
Is there downtime?
Makeup is possible right away. Bruising and swelling typically settle in 1 to 2 weeks.
