On each side, the furrows go from the wing of the nose to the corner of the lips. Smile lines can extend to what is called "bitterness folds" down to the chin. They give the face a tired look which will tend to increase with age and that's where our facial treatments come in handy!
The main cause of smile lines is that the furrows start with wrinkles that will widen over time (deeper and wider) with the movement of a smile. Accentuated with the melting of malar fat located in the cheeks. Sometimes the sagging skin tends to descend and form a fold just above the nasolabial (nasolabial) fold.
Smile lines are commonly requested for correction with hyaluronic acid, although these fine lines are not always treated as a priority on a face. Though we often think that these two lines marking our face vertical are the cause of our tired and aging appearance. Our aesthetic doctors only provide the perfect treatment after examining the case. In some cases, it is necessary to treat the furrows, and sometimes it is better to treat another area or both.
