Face Conditions
Nose to Mouth Lines
Nose to mouth lines run from the corners of the nose down to the outer corners of the mouth and often appear with age. Also known as ‘smile lines’ or nasolabial folds’ these creases can become more noticeable when we smile and will often become more prominent over time. Our appearance, even with its lines and creases, can often reflect the wonderful traits of our personalities. However, when nose to mouth lines give a look that disrupts a youthful appearance, an aesthetic treatment is often sought.
There are often two aspects of facial ageing that contribute to the development of nose to mouth lines – changes in the skin’s structure and facial movement.
The skin gets weaker over time from the loss of collagen and elastin. This can also affect the hydration of the skin as well as its natural ability to spring back into place. When wrinkles appear prematurely it is likely that factors, including: smoking, sun exposure and alcohol consumption have contributed by speeding up the rate at which collagen and elastin is lost.
Facial movements keep the face busy day after day through the many expressions and emotions that are expressed, as well as when we communicate, eat and drink. When the muscles move, so does the skin which can crumple and cause grooves in the skin, which become static with age.
Treatments that restore strength and volume to the skin can help to reduce the appearance of nose to mouth lines. By applying innovative technologies to the dermis which stimulate collagen and elastin fibres, they can tighten the skin’s structure, as well help to increase their production. This in turn can lift the skin, smoothing its texture and enhancing the contouring of the features for a more youthful look.
