Nasolabial Fold Filler

At Express Med Spa, nasolabial fold filler is $599 per syringe, or $480 per syringe for members. Most patients need only one syringe. Nationally, smile-line filler often runs about $600 to $1,400 per syringe. Pricing is subject to change and confirmed at your consultation.

We use Revanesse Versa+, a hyaluronic acid filler that is FDA-approved to correct moderate to severe facial folds in adults 22 and older. It adds smooth, natural volume to the smile lines and can be dissolved if needed. Your provider confirms it is the right choice for your face at your visit.

For most people, nasolabial fold filler lasts about 9 to 12 months. Hyaluronic acid filler gradually breaks down over time, so results are not permanent. How long yours lasts depends on the product, the amount used, your metabolism, and how much movement the area gets day to day.

Most patients feel only mild discomfort. The smile-line area has more nerves than some other spots, so we apply topical numbing and use a filler that contains lidocaine to keep you comfortable. You may feel brief pressure or a pinch, and any tenderness usually fades within a day or two.

Most side effects are mild and temporary, such as swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising that settles within about a week. Serious problems are rare. The main one is filler affecting a blood vessel, so our trained medical injectors keep hyaluronidase on hand to dissolve filler if needed. Seek care promptly for severe pain, skin blanching, or vision changes.

Good candidates are adults 22 and older who want to soften moderate to deep smile lines and are in good general health. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with certain allergies or an active skin infection in the area. Your provider reviews your history to confirm you are a fit.

Not completely. Nasolabial folds are a natural part of facial anatomy, so filler softens and reduces their depth rather than erasing them. Trying to remove them entirely tends to look overdone. The goal is a smoother, refreshed look that still moves and smiles naturally rather than a frozen face.

Most patients achieve a natural result with a single syringe for both smile lines, and mild cases may need only a half syringe. Deeper folds or added midface support can call for more. Because our filler is priced per syringe, your provider estimates the amount you need at your consultation.

For most smile lines, filler is the better choice. Nasolabial folds usually come from volume loss and sagging, which filler restores, while Botox relaxes muscles and does not add volume. Some people benefit from combining both. You can compare options on our Botox page.

Yes. Because we use a hyaluronic acid filler, it can be adjusted or dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you are unhappy with the result or in the rare event of a complication. This reversibility is a key safety advantage. Learn more on our filler dissolving page.

Downtime is minimal. Most people return to normal activities right away, though mild swelling, redness, or small bruises can appear and usually settle within about 5 days. Filler often looks its best after roughly 2 weeks, once any swelling resolves and the product settles into place.

Yes. Nasolabial folds are often driven by midface volume loss, so many patients get a natural result by pairing smile-line filler with cheek and midface filler that lifts and supports the area. It can also be combined with Botox or a skin treatment. Your provider plans the right combination for you.

It depends on what is causing your folds. When sagging and cheek volume loss are the main drivers, supporting the midface and cheeks often softens the smile lines more naturally than filling the crease directly. Your provider assesses your face and recommends the approach that avoids an overfilled, unnatural look.

There is no single right age. Revanesse Versa+ is FDA-approved for adults 22 and older, and some people start in their 30s for early smile lines while others wait until folds deepen in their 50s or 60s. The best time is when the folds bother you and you are healthy enough for treatment.

You will see softer smile lines right away, since hyaluronic acid filler adds volume immediately. The final result settles over about 2 weeks as any swelling fades and the filler integrates. If anything looks uneven once it has settled, your provider can review it and make small adjustments.
