Nasolabial Fold Filler: Nose to Mouth Line Treatments
At the Dr Bob Khanna clinic, we provide high-quality, safe and non-invasive nasolabial fold treatment for those looking to refine and reduce the appearance of deep-set nose-to-mouth lines. Our treatments are led by Dr Bob Khanna, known as “The Doctor’s Choice” in facial aesthetics, trusted by doctors worldwide, with over 30 years pioneering dermal filler technique.
As we age, the visible nose to mouth lines we possess become deeper and more noticeable. Unfortunately, it’s a fact of life. With the amount of collagen in our bodies naturally depleting by around 1% every year once you hit 25, the lines will slowly become more prominent. However, the visibility of these lines can be professionally reduced with the correct treatment.
Dr Bob Khanna and his team achieve this by administering dermal fillers for nasolabial folds. This helps the nose-to-mouth lines become softer and smoother, resulting in a radiant, younger and fresher appearance.

What are nasolabial folds?
Nasolabial folds are the lines that run from the corner of the nose to the corner of the mouth. You’ll often see them called laugh lines, smile lines or simply nose to mouth lines.
As touched upon above, as the collagen in our body depletes, these lines can become more noticeable. However, the appearance of the lines can also be caused by weight loss, smoking, exposure to the sun and air pollution.
Why choose nasolabial lines filler?
If you feel your skin is ageing quicker than you are or think the appearance of nose-to-mouth lines impacts your confidence, a nasolabial filler treatment could be what helps you reinvigorate your self-assurance.
A fast and pain-free treatment, nasolabial lines filler provides a long-lasting solution in the fight against ageing.
Applied using dermal filler, the nasolabial fold treatment gently plumps the skin to help make lines and wrinkles appear smoother and less obvious.
We also offer a range of other smile line treatments – take a look or book a consultation to discuss with the team which option is best suited to your skin, goals, and budget.
Am I a good candidate for nasolabial fold treatment?
You may be suitable for nasolabial fold filler if you’re:
- Noticing deep lines from nose to mouth, even at rest
- Looking to restore facial balance and a more youthful contour
- Concerned that your face looks tired or aged in this area
- Interested in a non-surgical solution before considering anything more invasive
- Also experiencing volume loss in the cheeks, which often deepens this fold
A consultation with the team at the clinic will confirm whether filler alone is right for you, or whether combining it with cheek support will give a more natural result.
What are the benefits of nasolabial folds filler?
Nasal lines filler provides clients with a quick and pain-free route to reducing the signs of ageing. With a simple application, deep lines around the mouth can be greatly reduced.
Compared to other facial treatment procedures, dermal fillers for nasolabial folds are among the quickest, most high-quality, and pain-free methods to erase the nose-to-mouth lines that may hinder your confidence or affect your appearance.
Benefits of nasolabial fold filler extend way beyond just the few points we’ve already mentioned.
- Non-invasive: No surgery means less risk and less downtime.
- Immediate results: You’ll see instant improvements in your appearance.
- Confidence booster: This quick and simple treatment will instantly give you the boost you need.
- Fast. The treatment can be completed in as little as 15-30 minutes.
- Long-lasting: Some treatments are only short-term, and much is down to the type of filler used. You could see anything from 6 months to 18 months of lifetime from one treatment alone.
- Natural looking: Nasolabial fillers ensure you remain a natural look, and not like you’ve had any form of treatment.
- Minimal side effects: In many cases, you’ll see no side effects at all. If you do, they tend to be short-term and minimal.
- Smoother and softer skin: Your skin will instantly look younger, smoother, and softer.
Nasolabial fold filler before and after
Preparing for nasolabial fold treatment
Your clinician will confirm what preparation you need in your consolation. But, in general before your treatment, you should:
- Avoid blood-thinning medication and supplements (such as fish oil, vitamin E, ibuprofen) for a week beforehand where medically appropriate – always check with your GP first if you’re on prescribed medication
- Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours before treatment
- Let the team know your full medical history and any previous filler reactions at consultation
Nasolabial filler aftercare
Your clinician will provide you with detailed aftercare following your treatment. In general, you should:
- Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area for the first 24–48 hours
- Avoid saunas, steam rooms and intense exercise for 48 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24–48 hours post-treatment
Are there side effects from nasolabial filler?
As with any treatment, there can occasionally be side effects. In the majority of cases where side effects are noticeable, they are minimal and only temporary, often vanishing within just a few days.
Dermal fillers for nasolabial folds are far less likely to result in side effects than any form of invasive surgery. Side effects that you may notice from a nasolabial fold treatment could include bruising, swelling, redness, itching, or a mild rash.
Should you be concerned about the potential side effects, please speak to our friendly team. With full confidentiality and compassion, we will talk you through the procedure and alleviate any worries you may have.
Nasolabial filler FAQs
How quickly will I see results from nasolabial filler?
The results are instant. The filler we use stimulates your collagen production, ensuring the skin heals as it should and new cell layers can be produced.
To give you the best possible outcome, our treatment works in two steps. First, you’ll have your treatment under the eyes of our expert team. Then, three weeks later, we invite you back for a review, where we can assess the results and make any adjustments should it be necessary.
How long does it take for filler to settle in nasolabial folds?
You'll see an initial improvement immediately, but the final result usually takes around two to three weeks to fully settle as any swelling resolves and the filler integrates with the surrounding tissue. This is why we invite you back for a review appointment three weeks after treatment, so we can assess the settled result and make any small adjustments if needed.
Does nasolabial fold filler migrate?
When the correct product is used at the right depth by an experienced practitioner, migration is uncommon. At DrBK, we use Pluryal fillers, including the Biofiller range, which are designed with particle structures that support stability in the tissue and reduce the risk of movement. Choosing an appropriately qualified injector who understands facial anatomy is the most important factor in preventing migration.
How long does filler in nasolabial folds last?
Results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, how quickly your body metabolises it, and factors like your skin, lifestyle and the depth of your original folds. Most patients return for a top-up once they notice the effect softening, usually within that window.
Does nasolabial fold filler hurt?
You may notice a tiny bit of discomfort. Like a pinch or a little pressure as the filler is applied, for example. Our team does its best to minimise this by using a numbing cream before any treatment begins.
Is nasolabial fold filler safe?
100%. Not only are all members of our team extremely qualified and vastly experienced, but they only use certified and safe products for all treatments.
For example, the Pluryal Biofillers are composed of hyaluronic acid of non-animal origin and are produced in compliance with ISO14001. With only the purest materials used and them being free from polluting chemicals, we not only put your safety first, but that of the planet too.
Can cheek fillers reduce nasolabial folds?
Often, yes. As the cheeks lose volume with age, they provide less support to the tissue above the fold, which can make the line look deeper. Restoring volume in the cheek can soften the fold indirectly, sometimes giving a more natural result than treating the line on its own. We'll assess this properly at your consultation and recommend whichever approach – direct treatment, cheek filler, or both – suits your face.
How much does nasolabial fold filler cost?
Nasolabial fold filler starts from £650. The exact cost depends on the amount of filler needed and your individual treatment plan, which we'll confirm at your consultation. We offer interest-free finance options to help make treatment more manageable – just ask our team for details.
How do I book nasolabial fold treatment with Dr Bob Khanna?
