How to treat nasolabial folds
The groove between the nose and mouth, more noticeable with loss of facial volume and firmness. There is no single treatment specifically for nasolabial folds — it is an aesthetic concern addressed with a personalized approach that may combine different techniques (such as facial filler and collagen biostimulators), based on individual clinical evaluation.
About nasolabial folds
The nasolabial fold (popularly known as "bigode chinês" in Portuguese) is a natural fold of the face that exists in everyone to some degree — what bothers people is when it becomes deeper and more noticeable because of the loss of volume and firmness around it.

Frequently asked questions
Does filler fix the nasolabial fold on its own?
In many cases yes, but when there is associated laxity, filler is usually combined with collagen biostimulators for a more complete, natural result.
Can the deepening of the fold be prevented?
Skin firmness care (preventive biostimulators, sun protection) can delay the deepening, but the fold itself is a natural anatomical feature.
