What Are Laugh Lines?

Laugh lines, also known as nasolabial folds, are the lines that extend from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth. These lines become more prominent with age and are often more noticeable when you smile or laugh, hence the name “laugh lines.”

How Are Laugh Lines Caused?

Laugh lines are primarily caused by a combination of factors:
aging

Aging

As we age, our skin loses collagen and elasticity, making it thinner and less able to spring back, which leads to the formation of lines and wrinkles.

smoking cause dark eye circlr

Lifestyle Factors

Smoking, poor diet, and inadequate hydration can also contribute to the formation of laugh lines by accelerating the aging process.

sunlight

Sun Exposure

UV radiation from the sun can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to premature aging and deeper wrinkles.

fine lines & wrinkles

Repetitive Facial Movements

Repeated expressions, like smiling and laughing, cause the skin to fold in the same places, leading to permanent lines over time.

Genes

Loss of Facial Volume

As we age, the fat pads in our face diminish, causing the skin to sag and resulting in more pronounced nasolabial folds.

Experience the transformative effects of our energy-based treatments, specifically tailored to restoring a more youthful and vibrant appearance.

Collagen-Stimulator

Such as Ellanse or Sculptra not only replace the volume loss but also stimulate natural collagen, gradually reducing the appearance of laugh lines over time.

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

These are the most common fillers used to treat laugh lines. They work by adding volume beneath the skin, smoothing out the lines and providing a more youthful appearance.

Skin Boosters

Such as Profhilo, Redensity 1 or Rejuran are useful in treating laugh lines especially for the fine lines on the surface skin along the laugh line. They are different from filler, skin boosters target superficial lines on the skin whereas fillers go deeper to plump up the volume.

Energy-based Devices

Energy-based Devices

Such as Ultherapy, HIFU, Thermage or Oligio uses ultrasound or RF energy to tighten skin and stimulate collagen, in order to have face lifting effect. This is important because sagging of cheeks contribute to deep laugh lines.

Microneedling RF

Microneedling RF

Microneedling RF such as Morpheus or Secret RF deliver gentle heat deep into the skin to stimulate collagen, tighten skin and improve skin texture. This will improve saggy skin and laugh lines.
