Where should hyaluronic acid be injected into the nasolabial folds? Will hyaluronic acid injection of nasolabial folds shift?

Using hyaluronic acid to treat nasolabial folds is a very common beauty method. Hyaluronic acid treatment of nasolabial folds has a good effect of lightening the nasolabial folds and is deeply loved by everyone. It is a very good way to improve nasolabial folds.

If fairies want to use hyaluronic acid to inject nasolabial folds, then generally the injection is done on both sides of the nose extending downward to the corners of the mouth. These two lines extending downward from the nose are also one of the earliest wrinkles that appear on many fairies.

Generally, professional doctors in regular hospitals use hyaluronic acid to fill nasolabial folds. If you take good care of it, it is not easy to shift. But it is worth noting that single-phase hyaluronic acid (gel-like semi-solid hyaluronic acid, which is fully cross-linked hyaluronic acid) is less likely to shift or spread than biphasic hyaluronic acid.

How to fill nasolabial lines with hyaluronic acid

1. Fishbone injection method

Hyaluronic acid is usually injected in a fishbone-like manner to fill nasolabial folds. Imagine the nasolabial folds as the trunk of a fishbone, and inject hyaluronic acid vertically into the dermis along the sides of the nasolabial folds in the direction of the wrinkles. In this way, it looks like a fishbone. After injecting one side, you need to inject the other side to improve the nasolabial folds of different degrees on both sides.

2. Multi-point sequential injection method

The technique of multi-point sequential injection is the simplest, and the linear injection method is the most commonly used. Insert the needle along the direction of the wrinkle to be filled, insert the needle to the farthest end or the end of the wrinkle, slowly withdraw the needle, and at the same time push the syringe evenly to inject the filler into the deep dermis. Before the needle tip withdraws from the skin, the needle withdrawal should be stopped to avoid leakage at the insertion point.

3. Linear injection method

Linear injections can often be used to repair wrinkles in one go. If the wrinkles or folds are deep and wide, multiple linear injections are required to inject the filler into adjacent areas in parallel. The depth of each injection can be different depending on the needs. Deeper wrinkles often require injections both intradermally and in the shallow subcutaneous layer.

There are four commonly used injection methods: linear injection, multi-point sequential injection, fan injection and cross injection.

What should I pay attention to when filling nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid?

1. Avoid lying down for injection

You must not lie down when injecting nasolabial folds. Nasal folds are affected by gravity, and it is inaccurate to judge the position of nasolabial folds when you are lying down. You should sit down to inject. If the doctor you meet asks you to lie down to inject nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid, then you need to be more careful.

2. Avoid single layer injection

When injecting hyaluronic acid to fill nasolabial folds, avoid single-layer injection. It is best to adopt a multi-layer injection method to achieve the best filling effect. Inject as little as possible and as evenly as possible in the deep layer (subcutaneous layer) and shallow layer (dermis layer). Generally, the shallow layer is injected first and then the deep layer. Inject the shallow layer to fill the skin capacity first, and then inject the deep layer to fill the tissue capacity.

3. Comprehensive treatment when necessary

If the nasolabial folds are caused by aging, then simply filling the nasolabial folds with hyaluronic acid will not improve the sagging of the entire face. Doctors and patients also need to consider whether the midface, temporal area, cheeks, etc. also need comprehensive treatment. It is worth noting that when comprehensive treatment is performed, the nasolabial folds are generally evaluated at the end of the facial evaluation. If the midface is improved, the nasolabial folds can also be improved. In the end, only a small amount is needed to solve the nasolabial fold problem.
