How to remove nasolabial folds: what causes them and how to get rid of them in cosmetology and at home

The whole truth about how you can and cannot remove nasolabial lips is in this article.

What are nasolabial folds

Nasolabial folds are deep wrinkles that descend from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth and below. They often form very early, and this is inevitable, because the nasolabial triangle is the most mobile area of ​​the face. Here the muscles are almost always tense: when we chew, sing, talk, laugh. And as we know, hypertonicity of the facial muscles always leads to wrinkles. And creases appear from the nose to the lips.

What happens as you age? We lose useful fatty tissue on the cheeks, skin turgor decreases, facial muscles become shorter due to spasms, and excess fluid accumulates in the cheeks sliding down. And the nasolabial lips become deeper. If a woman is prone to swelling, then the difference between the levels of tissue in the cheeks and the supralabial zone will be especially noticeable.

Indications and contraindications

The use of fillers is recommended for the following patients:

• age category over 30 years. The drug is effective for use in people under 50 years of age. Further, the effect becomes more short-term and less noticeable;
• people who have undergone skin surgery. In this case, doctors recommend injecting fillers no earlier than 25 years of age;
• adult men and women who have scars in the nasolabial area after inflammation;
• people who lack volume in the middle part of the face.

Before the procedure, the cosmetologist is obliged to warn about contraindications:

• the patient will not undergo the procedure until he turns 18 years old;
• fillers are not given to pregnant women;
• Experts will deny breastfeeding mothers the procedure;
• the cosmetologist should tell you about the composition of the drug and clarify whether there is an allergy to its components;
• even if the patient was registered for the procedure, but inflammation has formed on the nasolabial fold, he will be refused admission;
• people with poor blood clotting cannot use this cosmetic service;
• fillers are incompatible with the rehabilitation period after peeling with laser or chemical compounds.

Prevention of nasolabial folds

Any woman will develop nasolabial rashes sooner or later. This is a natural change in facial structure. But you can delay their formation.

What is needed for this?

• Eat right.
  Still don't know how to do it? Read our blog article “Proper Nutrition”.
• Don't go on aggressive diets.
  If you rapidly lose weight, the nasolabial fold will sharply outline. I lost 5 kg in half a month and my nasolabium appeared.
• Keep drinking regime.
  The average fluid intake is 2 liters of clean water per day. Do not drink before bed so that morning swelling does not worsen nasolabial folds.
• Take care of your face daily.
  Follow the cleansing-moisturizing-nourishing ritual.
• Quit smoking, don't abuse alcohol and sunbathing.
  All this accelerates skin aging.
• Sleep on your back.
  When sleeping on the stomach, the cheeks are compressed towards the nose, and thus the congestion is aggravated.
• Do self-massage of the face and facial exercises regularly
  (read the instructions in the following chapters).

Reasons for appearance

Wrinkles between the wings of the nose and the corners of the mouth appear during the aging process in almost all people - this is one of the first signs of age-related changes. But there are situations when they are observed at a young age. It is important to understand that there is no single and universally applicable way to quickly remove nasolabial folds at home.

The deterioration of the dermis is caused by:

• Dramatic weight loss. Accelerated loss of subcutaneous fat has a number of negative consequences for appearance. The skin does not have time to adapt to changes, which leads to its “sagging”.
• Heredity. Some people have a genetic predisposition to the early appearance of wrinkles.
• Influence of damaging factors. The epithelium suffers from the negative effects of ultraviolet rays, sudden temperature changes, and poor environmental conditions (especially typical for residents of large cities).
• Bad habits. Smoking and regular drinking of alcohol have a bad effect on the entire body, including appearance.
• Passive lifestyle. Leads to metabolic disorders and accelerated skin aging. This condition can be combated using special training. The question of how to remove the crease in the nasolabial fold and tighten the oval of the face with the help of exercises will be discussed in detail in the next section.
• Wrong sleeping position. If you sleep with your face in the pillow, the likelihood of wrinkles increases.
• Dehydration. You need to consume enough water per day - this is one of the main factors influencing long-term skin health. Insufficient fluid intake into the body (especially chronic) leads to accelerated aging.
• Incorrect care. In addition to choosing low-quality cosmetics, unprofessional massage can lead to negative consequences.
• Lack of vitamins (A, E, B1, B7, B9). These compounds regulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin and help normalize metabolic processes in the dermis. Therefore, it is important to obtain the optimal amount from food or in special preparations.

Hormonal imbalances, such as low estrogen levels, can also contribute to this problem. These hormones play a huge role in maintaining the youth and beauty of the female body. With age, their level decreases, which causes a decrease in the production of protein fibers of the fundamental layer of the skin - collagen and elastin, which are responsible for firmness and elasticity. This estrogen deficiency leads to a significant deterioration in appearance: sagging, wrinkles, and a tired face.

Methods for getting rid of nasolabial grooves

How to get rid of nasolabial folds? Alas, our women are accustomed to scalpels, threads, and filler injections. Plastic surgeons and cosmetologists are actively working to ensure that the chairs in their offices are not empty. They present invasive methods as the only effective options for getting rid of nasolabial lips. But that's not true. It's the other way around.

Let's say your face was pumped with a foreign agent, or part of the soft tissue was cut off and the skin was stretched. And the nasolabial fold seems to have straightened out.

But what's really going on?

Stressed face. The natural mechanisms of its work are disrupted. Skin, muscles, ligaments, fat - they all find themselves hostage to aggressive invasion. We have to rebuild, self-regulation mechanisms are activated. And all this speeds up the aging process.

The external effect is created for some time, and the reasons for the appearance of nasolabial lips only get worse. It doesn't happen any other way.

In order not to be unfounded, we will take a closer look at the mechanisms of the effect of various surgical and injection methods on the nasolabium.

Fighting wrinkles with contouring

The most popular option for correcting nasolabial folds is contour plastic surgery. It is done using intradermal injections of fillers, that is, fillers. They fill the nasolabial furrows, making them less pronounced.

The main active ingredient of the filler is most often hyaluronic acid, collagen, the patient’s own fat or autogenous collagen from his skin.

Cosmetic products

Ready-made creams and masks do not help completely eliminate nasolabial folds. It is recommended to use such products for preventive purposes. Popular means include the following:

• Bark. This cream has a Botox effect. It helps get rid of small wrinkles, smooth out facial contours and saturate the skin with nutrients. The substance contains hyaluronic acid, which saturates cells with moisture. The result is achieved after 5-6 months of systematic use.
• Bioven. This anti-aging cream has a unique composition. The components of the product displace protein components from tissues and suppress the activity of muscle tissue. In addition, the composition contains vitamins and oils. The cream also contains antioxidants and peptides. Results are achieved after 3 months.
• Botox like system. The substance is produced by Belarusian. The composition has an affordable price, but at the same time has an excellent effect. With its help, you can get rid of small wrinkles. Deep folds become less noticeable. The company has a whole line of products in its arsenal - for day and night use. The result is achieved after 5 months.
• Tightening patches. They are very convenient to use at home. The shape of the patches allows them to be fixed in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds. The hydrogel with which these products are impregnated contains glutathione and adenosine. The active ingredients activate skin regeneration and increase its tone.
• ARAVIA cream mask. The product contains soy extract, olive oil, and hyaluronic acid. The substance also contains collagen. A unique set of ingredients promotes epithelial regeneration.
• Cream Professional Solutions. This American cream works great on deep wrinkles. The substance has a pronounced antioxidant effect. This promotes excellent restoration of the epithelium.

Is it worth getting injections?

Filler injections into nasolabial folds are dangerous to health and lead to premature aging.

What do cosmetologists say?

There are hollow areas under the nasolabials that need to be filled. Filler does just that. They filled the void with gel, and it “pushed out” the wrinkle and straightened the skin.

What's really going on?

The gel seems to push the tissues apart and stretch them, and when it dissolves after a few months, voids appear in its place, into which the surface layers of the skin sink even further.

And we understand that the muscles and ligaments were forced to carry the weight of the gel all this time. Can you imagine what happened to them? They have lost their healthy tone and natural length and will no longer be able to maintain the skin as well as before. And in addition, it also stretched and the nasolabium seemed to fall inside.

In addition, fillers attract “water” and collect around themselves stagnant fluid that should have come out with the lymph. Powerful swelling is guaranteed.

What's the result? I inject filler for barely noticeable furrows - a year later you look at deep wrinkles, a puffy face in the mirror and cry.

Correction of nasolabial folds using fillers has a lot of negative reviews. After injections, patients experience asymmetry and sagging jowls. Some develop superficial necrosis of the cheek (even when the “safest”, biodegradable filler is used). There are a lot of side effects and complications - we recently wrote an article about fillers, you can read it.

Cosmetology procedures

Salon procedures are the most effective in combating signs of aging and cosmetic defects. Cosmetics, homemade compositions, massages maintain the health of your skin, restrain negative factors, but do not guarantee complete relief from nasolabial folds that have already appeared.

However, on the path to professional care, many face a number of problems:

• Cost of procedures. Unfortunately, professional cosmetic care requires serious financial investments. But the effect cannot but please.
• Difficulty and pain. To smooth out wrinkles, it is necessary to act on the deep layers of the skin; as a rule, this can be done with injections.
• Mistrust. Unfortunately, we often hear about unsuccessful procedures that spoil the appearance and health. Of course, there is a certain risk, but it is minimized when working professionally.
• The need for a course of procedures. There is no magic pill that will get rid of wrinkles once and for all. The effect of going to a cosmetologist will have to be constantly reinforced.

For quick, obvious and long-term results, you should decide to visit a cosmetology salon

To be sure of the result of cosmetic treatment, you should pay great attention to the choice of a cosmetologist:

• Opt for a specialist with a medical education. In addition to the diploma, he must have certificates and other documents about cosmetology techniques and treatment methods that he knows and has the right to use.
• Pay attention to the office where the specialist receives treatment, whether in a salon or in an apartment. The room should be clean, bright, well equipped.
• Study reviews about the selected specialist.
• Choose a cosmetologist with the average cost of services in the city.

General contraindications:

• Pregnancy.
• Poor blood clotting.
• Skin diseases.
• Inflammatory processes in the body.
• Diabetes.

Lipofilling

Lipofilling refers to a number of injection procedures. Its distinctive feature: the patient’s fat cells are injected into problem areas, which fill the sagging areas and are integrated into the system and take root.

The procedure includes:

1. Consultation with a cosmetologist, search for a place to collect fat.
2. Collection of material.
3. Cleansing fat cells from foreign substances: blood and lymph.
4. Injecting the purified material into the problem area using a syringe.

The entire procedure takes about 40 minutes. The longest stage is the last one, since the fat is introduced slowly and gradually.

After lipofilling, swelling and redness of the face are possible, which disappear completely within a week. You should give up baths and saunas for a month. The final recovery and result can be seen after 2 months, when the adipose tissue has taken root.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia; the result, if the lipocytes survive well, can last for years. The approximate cost of lipofilling is 35,000 rubles.

Taping

An absolutely non-traumatic method in which special cotton tapes are glued to the skin. Tapes are mainly used by athletes to reduce muscle pain, fix joints and maintain muscles.

In cosmetology, these tapes, glued to the skin, reduce muscle hypertonicity, which provokes facial wrinkles, improve blood circulation, accelerate lymph outflow, and stimulate cellular renewal processes.

Tapes smooth out not only nasolabial folds, but also wrinkles on the face, neck and décolleté

From the outside, taping seems like an extremely simple procedure, but incorrectly applied tapes can be ineffective and, moreover, cause harm. Therefore, it is better to entrust the procedure to professionals.

Progress of the procedure:

1. Cleansing facial skin.
2. Gluing tapes.
3. The tape remains on the face for half an hour to a day, then is carefully removed with water.

The procedure takes 15 minutes. Cost from 1000 rubles. You should not expect an immediate effect from taping; it is recommended to do it 2-3 times a week.

Laser resurfacing

The method is indicated for shallow wrinkles. During laser resurfacing, the skin is exposed to a laser beam that passes through the surface layer of the skin and destroys cells in the problem area. Subsequently, this place is filled with new cells, and the wrinkle is smoothed out from the inside.

Laser resurfacing renews the skin and gives the face a fresh look

Progress of the procedure:

1. Cleansing facial skin.
2. Application of anesthetic gel.
3. Laser work.

After the procedure, skin restoration begins: during this period, the face may peel off, and the treated areas may acquire a bronze tint. Such symptoms disappear within a week. The skin returns to normal completely after 2 weeks.

The procedure lasts approximately 30 minutes. For a long-term effect (more than a year), 3 to 5 procedures are required. The average cost is 20,000 rubles.

Chemical peeling

The procedure involves removing the top layer of the dermis using special chemicals (acids). Chemical peeling accelerates skin renewal, making it smoother and more elastic. There are superficial, medium and deep peels. It is the last two that are effective against wrinkles.

Deep peeling is carried out using a toxic and aggressive substance based on phenol, which requires the patient to be under anesthesia and an outpatient stay in the clinic.

More often, a more gentle medium peeling is used, which eliminates facial wrinkles and smoothes out deep age wrinkles.

Progress of the procedure:

1. Skin cleansing.
2. Application of special epidermis-softening preparations to the skin.
3. Application of exfoliating acid (salicylic, glycolic).
4. Removing the composition using dry ice.

Chemical peeling will not remove deep wrinkles completely, but it will smooth them out well

The procedure lasts on average half an hour. Immediately after peeling, the skin remains swollen and red throughout the day. It is not recommended to be in the sun for the first 2-3 days after the session; for the next 3 weeks you must use sunscreen. For obvious results, it is recommended to undergo 3-4 procedures. The result will please you for about six months. The average cost of a chemical peeling procedure is 6,000 rubles.

Contour plastic

Contouring is an injection procedure in which wrinkles are filled with special substances based on hyaluronic acid (fillers). Beauty injections are used both to improve skin health and to combat deep age wrinkles.

Fillers push out wrinkles, making the skin smoother

Stages of contouring:

1. Examination by a cosmetologist, selection of a suitable composition.
2. Applying anesthetic cream to the face.
3. Administration of injections.

For plastic surgery of nasolabial folds, fillers based on hyaluronic acid are used:

• Glyton. The French drug contains mannitol alcohol, which inhibits the decomposition of hyaluronic acid and, accordingly, increases the time of its beneficial effect on the epidermis. It has a soft structure, thanks to which it can be evenly distributed under the skin by hand. The average cost of the substance is 6,000 rubles.
• Juvederm. The hyaluronic acid for this American drug is obtained artificially, therefore, unlike a substance of animal origin, it reduces the risk of an allergic reaction to a minimum. The gel is divided into types depending on the correction zones and the concentration of the active substance. The filler is sold immediately in a syringe. The average cost of one injection is 12,000 rubles.
• Surgiderm. Hyaluronic acid for French filler is obtained synthetically, which protects against allergies. In addition, the drug contains butanediol diglycedyl ether, which strengthens the structure of the active substance, due to which hyaluronic acid is absorbed more slowly and does not move under the skin as a result of physical impact. The average cost is 8,000 rubles.

The face returns to normal completely 3 weeks after contouring. Immediately after the procedure, do not touch your face or wet it with water. It is forbidden to play sports, stay in the sun and visit the sauna until the end of recovery; it is recommended to treat the puncture sites with an antiseptic until complete healing.

The effect of the procedure lasts from 4 months to a year; in the future, injection correction is required.

Botox injections

Injection procedures also include filling wrinkles with Botox. If hyaluronic acid improves collagen synthesis and affects skin cells, then the function of Botox is different - it relaxes muscles. Therefore, it is not always suitable for removing nasolabial folds. Botox comes to the rescue if wrinkles are caused by active facial expressions and hypertonicity of the facial muscles. The drug immobilizes the muscle and prevents the problem from getting worse.

Botox does not affect the condition of the skin, the process of cell regeneration and aging.

Botox relaxes muscles, allowing the skin to straighten and relax

This procedure will successfully reinforce the result of lipofilling, laser resurfacing or chemical peeling.

Thread lift

Threadlifting is used for age-related nasolabial folds. The essence of the procedure is the introduction of mesothreads into problem areas - the finest fibers made of a biologically compatible hypoallergenic material - polydioxanone. For minor cosmetic problems, the patient is given absorbable threads that disintegrate within 200 days. Polydioxanone promotes the production of collagen, thereby forming the facial frame.

Procedure steps:

1. Skin cleansing.
2. Application of anesthetic.
3. Treating the skin with an antiseptic.
4. Markings for introducing material.
5. Introduction of mesothreads. For the nasolabial area, 5–6 threads are required on each side. They are inserted into the puncture using a blunt cannula, which directs the thread to the desired area. The medical instrument moves the muscles apart without injuring them. The threads are inserted, pulled in the required direction, and the ends are cut. The material is securely fixed under the skin.

Threads stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen

Threadlifting of the nasolabial area is carried out in 20–25 minutes. After the procedure, small bruises may remain at the puncture sites, which will disappear within 5 days. In the first 3 days you should avoid decorative cosmetics. Lubricate the puncture sites with an antiseptic until they heal. During the rehabilitation period, that is, the first 14 days after the procedure, it is not recommended to visit the bathhouse and sauna, sunbathe, sleep on your stomach, or vigorously rub and knead the skin. The effect of thread lifting will delight you for a year, then repeated procedures are necessary. The average cost of a thread lift for one zone is 7,000 rubles.

Is it possible to remove nasolabium with hyaluronic acid?

You may ask, what about hyaluronic acid fillers? “Here they write that this is a completely different generation of drugs, safe, hypoallergenic...” We answer: they are telling you lies. You should only trust scientifically proven facts.

Even if hyaluronic fillers are softer than some silicone or paraffin, this does not mean that they have a different mechanism of action. They also age the face, cause side effects, complications, and allergic reactions. They are also synthesized from streptococcal bacteria. I took an injection, and the remnants of these microorganisms settled in your body for many years and can at any time provoke various diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, rheumatism, etc.

Preventive actions

It is very easy to prevent the formation of wrinkles

o easier than dealing with existing defects. Therefore, pay increased attention to the issue of prevention. It is recommended to adhere to the following rules:

1. Do not drink large amounts of liquid before bed. You need to drink the daily amount of water before 19-20 hours.
2. Get plenty of rest. During sleep, the body activates recovery processes. Therefore, regular lack of sleep leads to negative consequences.
3. Don't sleep on your stomach. The optimal sleeping position is on your back or side.
4. Eat right. It is advisable to exclude from the daily diet smoked and fried foods, foods containing yeast and chemical dyes, as well as excessive amounts of salt, sugar and preservatives. Replace them with an increased amount of vegetables, fruits, and lean meats. Food should contain minerals, macro/microelements, and vitamins, and should be rich in antioxidants.
5. Avoid strict diets and fasting. Sudden weight loss and lack of nutrients will lead to the rapid formation of wrinkles. As a result, you will also have to think about how to reduce nasolabial folds and tighten the skin.
6. Don't forget about daily care. To preserve youth for a long time, the dermis must be systematically moisturized and saturated with various beneficial components (vitamins, hyaluron, etc.).

It is also recommended to choose only high-quality cosmetics, selecting them based on the individual characteristics of the body. The right product will give maximum effect. An incorrect set will not only be useless, but can also cause significant harm, exacerbating existing defects.

Surgical correction

The most radical option for nasolabial correction is surgery. Those with a pronounced defect are offered to go under the knife.

The main options for surgical correction are local work on the problem area or a facelift (facelift).

How is a nasolabial fold removed locally? Excess skin is removed from it. The procedure leaves scars and is not very popular.

Facelift is more in demand. How is it made? Excess skin is cut off. Excess subcutaneous fat is removed or its location is changed.

This is a serious operation with high risks. The list of complications includes bleeding, infection, blood clot formation, hair loss near the ear, skin loss, facial nerve damage...

Skin tightening with threads

Thread lifting of nasolabial folds also involves damage to the skin. Usually, to install the threads, incisions are made in the scalp. Threads are pulled through them. They are attached to the tissue slightly above the nasolabial area to tighten the problem area.

A common myth is that the threads create a collagen framework that holds the tissue. In fact, the mechanism is different. The threads injure the tissue, and the site of injury and swelling is scarred by connective tissue. No collagen, just fibrous compactions instead of healthy tissue. And they get bigger and bigger from procedure to procedure.

A thread lift is a real torture for the patient. The pain is sometimes unbearable. And the rehabilitation period is very painful and long. Women say they feel like boxers after a fight. The pain makes it impossible to chew and speak. For several months, “thorns” and lumbago may be felt inside.

Complications arise everywhere. The area with foreign material swells terribly, hematomas and inflammation form, nerves are damaged, facial expressions are disrupted, and the mouth cannot open. Allergic reactions and a terrible immune response to the invasion are possible.

Often there are traces of thread insertion on the face. The skin sinks and gathers, tubercles form, threads are visible through the skin. The ends of the threads stick out outside or in the oral cavity; these places become covered with bleeding wounds and ulcers.

Possible consequences

The consequences of the provision of the service can be expected; they appear within 3-5 days and are caused by the reaction of the integument to unnatural intervention. Or they can be unplanned and not always removable.

As after any microtrauma, marks appear on the face after injections. Redness forms at the puncture site. The next morning, the skin responds to the injections with swelling, and if the needle gets into the vessel, a hematoma is inevitable.

In addition, sudden allergies or inflammation at the puncture site may occur.

The filler is a gel; it smoothes out the nasolabial folds. But it may happen that in one place it lies in a thinner layer, and in another it becomes denser or even moves to the side. As a rule, the treating specialist makes an appointment a week after the injections to correct such “surprises”.

Sometimes it happens that the patient's tissues reject the injected drug. This is not immediately noticeable, and is determined by the fact that the swelling does not subside and the redness does not go away, and pain appears. If the cosmetologist’s qualifications are beyond doubt, you can contact him, and the gel will be completely removed.

Does cosmetics help in the fight against nasolabial grooves?

You ask, is it possible to get rid of nasolabial folds with the help of cosmetics? We answer directly: it is impossible. The problem must be solved from within. But cosmetic care helps improve the condition of the skin, and this is one of the tasks in the fight against nasolabial wrinkles.

That's why we work together. We fine-tune all internal mechanisms with the help of exercises and self-massage and additionally moisturize and nourish the skin with creams and oils. At the same time, we protect it from adverse external factors such as sun, frost, wind, and dirty air.

Pay attention to natural oils, squalane, balms. These are real life-giving cocktails for youthful skin. Contain many useful vitamins and acids.

Visit the website www.beauty365.ru and choose what suits you best. There is also a classic for mature skin care in the form of Beauty365 coconut oil and other options: Beauty365 squalane, Beauty365 camellia sasanqua oil. The powerful composition of the Beauty365 Verbena hemp balm is: hemp, coconut, pistachio oils, shea butter, oil extract of calendula and carrot seeds.

How to prepare your face for charging

To perform the exercises, only two conditions must be met: clean hands and a clean face. Therefore, before classes you need:

1. Wash the hands.
2. Clean your face of makeup and dirt, then dry it with a towel. Do not apply anything to the skin! If your skin is very dry, you can apply a moisturizer, let it absorb for 10 minutes, then remove the excess with a paper napkin and only then begin the massage.

This applies to both external and intraoral massage, and dry brushing.

There is one exception - vacuum massage. We use jars on the face only for oil, and preferably squalane.

Homemade masks against nasolabial folds

You can make your own facial care product using ingredients found in every kitchen. Nothing special is required for the nasolabial. Any folk masks for skin elasticity will do. They are made from gelatin, potatoes, sour cream, honey, ground cereals, oils and other ingredients.

Try the Cleopatra mask first. Many people like it. Grind one tablespoon of millet and rolled oats until flour. Mix with 2 teaspoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Apply to face for 20 minutes once a week.

Home remedies

There are many quite effective techniques that you can use yourself. The main thing is to strictly adhere to the rules of their implementation and consult with a cosmetologist and doctors before starting the fight against wrinkles. Otherwise, there is a high risk of negative consequences.

Exercises against nasolabial folds

To eliminate this problem, there is a set of special training. They help improve blood circulation and increase skin tone. The most effective techniques include the step-by-step algorithm of which we will describe below:

1. Pull your lips out with a tube and hold this position for a few seconds. Then you need to relax your facial muscles as much as possible. Do at least five repetitions.
2. Blow up balloons; repeating this simple procedure every day allows you to work out your facial muscles perfectly.
3. Fill a PET bottle with a small volume of water and hold it by the neck with your lips for about 20 seconds, then you can release the container. By changing the amount of liquid, gradually increase the load.
4. Stand in front of a mirror and clearly pronounce all the vowels one by one.
5. Puff out your cheeks strongly, hold this position for a few seconds and slowly release the air through your slightly open mouth.
6. Smile widely, then curl your lips into a tube.

Training in this way is quite simple; completing the entire complex will not take much time and will give quick results. The first changes for the better will become noticeable after 10-15 days of regular exercise.

There are many exercises that give an understanding of how to smooth out or correct nasolabial folds on the face; if you wish, you can create your own program.

The main thing is to moderate the load on the muscles. Facial muscles are very sensitive to overload, which, with frequent repetition of exercises, can lead to spasms, the appearance of “clamps” and aggravation of problems with appearance. Therefore, you should not exercise for more than 5-10 minutes at a time. It is better to distribute exercises throughout the day and train little by little, tracking progress and gradually increasing the load.

Massage

This is a fairly effective way to solve the question of “how to tighten your face and remove nasolabial folds at home.” Massage is especially useful for older people.

Proceed as follows:

1. Using light pressure, move your fingertips up and down, moving along the wrinkles. It is necessary to do at least 5-6 repetitions. When performing the exercise correctly, a slight burning sensation will appear, which serves as a signal that you need to stop.
2. Place your fingers at the corners of your mouth, then pull upward. In this position, make several massaging movements clockwise.
3. Place your palms on your face in the nose area, lightly pulling the skin and moving your hands towards your ears. It is important not to use excessive force; perform the technique gently and as carefully as possible, otherwise there is a high risk of damaging the sensitive epidermis.

Massage with additional products is especially effective - lotions, oils, creams, ointments, ice cubes and special rollers. What will be best for combating nasolabial folds depends on many factors. After such procedures, the absorption of water and compounds that promote rejuvenation and smooth out wrinkles occurs especially well.

Home care

Independent use of various cosmetic preparations is a good method of preventing aging and correcting defects in appearance associated with this process. You need to use them comprehensively, which will allow you to get a noticeably better effect. Your daily skin care kit should include:

• Moisturizing complexes. They are usually produced on the basis of hyaluronic acid with additional components. They allow you to fight dehydration and sagging, which causes nasolabial folds to appear, due to intense and deep penetration of moisture.
• Protection from negative factors. These are a variety of creams and masks, saturated with powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals formed under the influence of ultraviolet radiation and other injuries. Such molecules are powerful oxidizing agents that destroy elastin and collagen. Eliminating them will preserve youth and health for a long time.
• Sun protection. Using SPF before going outside is an excellent method to prevent the formation of wrinkles. Photoaging is a serious problem, the occurrence of which can be easily prevented with the help of such creams.

If you are concerned about how best to remove nasolabial folds, contact a good cosmetologist. Consult with cosmetologists; professionals will select the optimal set of cosmetics for daily care and skin protection.

Folk remedies

At home, you can prepare anti-aging products or anti-aging masks. The most effective include:

• Gelatin masks. You will need 1 tablespoon of gelatin, which must be dissolved in a quarter glass of water and allowed to brew for 30-60 minutes. Next, add 4 tablets of pre-crushed spirulina to the solution. You can supplement the composition with a couple of drops of pharmaceutical vitamin A and lemon juice. Apply the resulting mass onto gauze and apply to the problem area for 15-20 minutes. The procedure is repeated every three days for two weeks.
• Nourishing masks of beaten eggs for 15 minutes under cellophane film, two to three times a week, every other day for a month. It allows, if not to fight nasolabial folds, then at least to significantly reduce the depth of wrinkles and prevent the emergence of new and other cosmetic problems. The mask simply improves the overall condition of the skin. It should not be left until completely dry.
• Products based on fish oil. It contains many vitamins, very useful omega-3 acid. Before use, mix a teaspoon of starch with the same amount of olive oil and add half the volume of fish oil to them, stirring the resulting mixture thoroughly. The finished composition is applied and left for about 20 minutes.
• Ice cubes. It is recommended to use every day, wiping the face with gentle movements, without pressure or rubbing. You can make ice based on herbal infusions and fruit juices.

To solve the problem of how to tighten the skin and smooth out nasolabial folds at home, warm compresses that help activate collagen synthesis are also suitable. For the procedure you will need cotton pads and herbal infusion. Chamomile, sage and St. John's wort are best. Just 15 minutes daily is enough to get a noticeable anti-aging effect.

How to remove nasolabial folds at home

The only way to remove nasolabial lips is to eliminate the causes of their appearance.

After all, at first it was a small facial wrinkle at the wings of the nose. Then, as muscle spasms and bands appeared, it sank deeper and deeper and slid lower, right up to the chin. To this was added stagnation of fluid (spasmodic muscles compressed blood vessels and disrupted the movement of lymph). Everything that the lymphatic system should have removed from the body remains a stagnant swamp on the face. And the nasolabium became even more noticeable, complemented by swollen and floating “bulldog cheeks”.

Therefore, WE MUST WORK WITH THE MUSCLES of the chest, shoulder, and cervical regions. We eliminate their hypertonicity and improve lymph flow and blood flow.

What are we doing?

• We start with the back and shoulders: relax the muscles, return them to healthy tone and natural length, stretch and straighten the axis of the spine, straighten the shoulders.
• Next, we stretch the neck: relax the platysma, remove the cords on the front and side surfaces of the neck, and return healthy head statics.

And already on this foundation we begin to do exercises on the face and stretch the nasolabial muscles. Only then will we get a lasting effect.

Exercises to eliminate nasolabial folds

What do we achieve with facial exercises?

• The facial muscles relax, stretch to their natural size, and become elastic. To straighten the nasolabial lips, we hit on several fronts at once. The muscles of the nose, cheekbones, cheeks, chin, mouth - we return all this to a healthy state.
• We remove obstacles to the movement of lymph and blood, reduce swelling and stagnation.
• We restore skin turgor.

All together this gives something that no injections, threads, lasers or tapes can handle. Nasolabial wrinkles are smoothed out in a natural, healthy way. The cheeks tighten and stop hanging over the nasolabial area.
