Smile Lines
Smile lines, also known as laugh lines or nasolabial folds, are creases that appear around the sides of your lips and nose when you smile. They commonly appear as we get older, but if you’re like many others who want to minimize signs of aging, Dolce Vita provides a variety of non-surgical solutions for treating both minor and severe cases!
What Causes Nasolabial Folds?
Age
Smile lines, like any other type of wrinkle, grow more noticeable as we age. Our skin loses its elasticity, and the fat-filled deeper layers weaken over time. Furthermore, years of gravity pulling down on your skin will cause your cheeks to droop and emphasize your smile lines.
Sun Damage
Sun damage can hasten the aging process by weakening the skin's connective structure. UV rays deteriorate the collagen and elastin that make our skin supple.
Smoking
Toxins from smoking tear down the fibers in our skin that keep its youthful appearance. Nicotine causes blood vessels to constrict, reducing oxygen and nutrition delivery to vital skin cells.
Weight Changes
Laugh lines can also be accentuated by significant weight shifts. Major weight gain can make your cheeks larger and exaggerate nasolabial folds, but significant weight reduction might leave you with looser, drooping skin.
Side Sleeping
One or both nasolabial folds may become more defined if you sleep on your side with your face placed against a pillow every night. Switching to back sleeping can help avoid the future development of smile lines.
Genetics
Genes can make some people more prone to acquiring significant laugh lines. If you’ve had them since you were a child, they're most likely due to genetics.

Nasolabial Fold Fillers
Dermal fillers are FDA-approved injectable formulas that can be used to smooth out facial wrinkles and creases without the need for surgery. To enhance the skin’s youth, fillers increase volume and encourage collagen formation at injection sites.
Laugh lines can be treated with a variety of nasolabial fold fillers at Dolce Vita. Depending on your objectives and the severity of your smile lines, our specialists will determine formula that is ideal for your case.
Juvederm
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that comes in five different formulations to suit each patient’s case.

Juvederm fillers are a non-surgical, long-lasting way to boost and smooth the lines around your mouth
Restylane
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler that is widely used among medical spas. Restylane Refyne is a softer filler that is used to soften wrinkles and increase volume in a natural-looking way. Restylane Defyne is a filler that can address deeper laugh lines.
