Nasolabial (marionette) folds are wrinkles that run from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They can be deep or superficial, wide or narrow, the same on both sides of the face, or vary in depth and width. They appear with age as a result of loss of skin elasticity and weakening of the muscles that support the skin.
Often nasolabial folds, as an aesthetic defect, are formed at a young age. Attempts to get rid of them on their own are usually unsuccessful. Professional treatment of nasolabial folds in Chicago provides an opportunity to smooth or minimize their appearance, restore youthfulness and freshness to the skin, restore its elasticity and smoothness.
The causes of the appearance of "marionette" folds can be divided into three main groups: internal and external factors, as well as individual characteristics.

External factors affecting skin condition
Individual characteristics
The most common cause of nasolabial folds is a combination of internal and external factors.
Nasolabial fold injections are a cosmetic correction procedure that uses gel fillers to reduce wrinkles and fight age-related changes in the nasolabial triangle area. These injections help to give the face a more youthful and fresher look, improve the contour of the lips, and smooth out wrinkles in the area.
Juvederm nasolabial filler is one of the popular brands of hyaluronic acid used for injection into the nasolabial fold area. Compared to competing fillers, the Juvederm brand provides high cohesiveness and plasticity. Thanks to these properties, dermal tissues are tightly connected to hyaluronic molecules, forming a "protective framework" that protects the treated area from external factors and temperature fluctuations.
There are several different formulas for Juvederm. The best among them are Juvederm Vollure Ultra XC and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC.
Juvederm Voluma nasolabial fold filler is among the best products in this line. It is the only hyaluronic acid-based filler that uses Vycross TM technology to create gels with high viscosity, which provides a longer-lasting correction effect.
Before undergoing a Juvederm injection procedure, it is important to discuss the procedure with a qualified cosmetic professional at a consultation and clarify all aspects related to expectations and possible risks.
Process of the procedure
Side effects from the procedure of correction with filler are extremely rare and disappear on their own within a few days. The negative signs may include:
Patients should follow the injector nurse instructions after the procedure and seek medical attention promptly if they experience any unusual symptoms.

It is important to note that the procedure should be performed by a qualified professional to achieve the best results and minimize possible risks and side effects.
The duration of Juvederm in the nasolabial folds may vary depending on the type of preparation and individual characteristics of the patient. However, on average, the effect of Juvederm on the nasolabial folds can last from 6 to 12 months.
Each of the Juvederm products has its own characteristics and duration of effect. For example, Juvederm Ultra XC and Juvederm Vollure XC typically have a duration of action of about a year, while the effects of Juvederm Voluma can last up to 18 months.
Once the effects begin to fade, repeat injections may be considered to maintain the desired appearance.
The cost of nasolabial fold treatment in Chicago depends on the type of filler and the volume of filler needed. The more volume of filler needed, the higher the cost of the procedure will be. The average treatment price ranges from $500 to $2,000 for a single injection. Correcting deep nasolabial folds may require multiple injections, which will increase the cost of the procedure.
