WHAT ARE NASOLABIAL FOLDS?

Nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines or laugh lines, are the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines are a natural part of the aging process and are caused by a combination of factors, including the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, sun damage, and repetitive facial expressions over time.
