2. Nasolabial Fold Filling (法令紋填充)
2.1 What Are Nasolabial Folds?
These are the lines that run from your nose sides down to your mouth corners. They deepen over time as skin loses volume.
2.2 Why Do They Form?
Collagen loss beneath the skin Fat pad descent, causing hollow areas Sun damage and smoking, which accelerate collagen breakdown.
2.3 How Fillers Help
Dermal fillers (usually hyaluronic acid) are injected into the fold to plump the area. They create internal support, smoothing the line and lifting cheek tissue.
2.4 The Procedure
- Consultation: Your practitioner maps out the folds and selects the right filler type.
- Numbing: A topical anesthetic cream or a local nerve block ensures comfort.
- Injection: Fine needles or micro-cannulas place filler precisely into the fold.
- Massage & Mold: The area is gently sculpted to smooth the line.
2.5 Results & Downtime
- Immediate improvement: You’ll see smoother folds right away.
- Lasts 6–18 months: Depending on the filler product and your skin’s metabolism.
- Minimal downtime: You may have mild swelling or bruising for 1–2 days.
3. “Tiger Line” Reduction (虎紋淡化)
3.1 What Are “Tiger Lines”?
法令紋填充 These are fine to medium lines that fan out on the cheeks or around the mouth, resembling a tiger’s stripes when you smile or talk.
3.2 Why Do They Form?
Facial expressions like smiling or chewing Thinning skin around the mouth and cheeks Repeated muscle contraction without deep volume support.
3.3 Treatment Options
Fine Dermal Fillers Super-fine hyaluronic acid fillers can be placed just under the skin surface to smooth these lines. Offers immediate softening with minimal product.
Laser Resurfacing Fractional lasers deliver micro-injuries that stimulate collagen, smoothing fine lines over several weeks. Good for skin texture improvement alongside line reduction.
Microneedling with PRP or Growth Factors Tiny needles create micro-channels, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or growth-factor serums boost healing and collagen production. Results appear gradually over 2–3 months.
4. Combining Treatments for Best Results
Often, the best outcome comes from combining approaches:
- Botox for dynamic lines (forehead, crow’s feet).
- Fillers for static lines (nasolabial folds, tiger lines).
- Laser or HIFU for overall skin tightening and texture.
- Skin care: Daily SPF, retinoids, and antioxidants to support collagen
