Anti-Wrinkle Injections for Nasolabial Lines
The procedure for treating nasolabial lines involves targeted injections of a muscle-relaxing solution to the specific areas around the lines. The solution temporarily relaxes the underlying muscles, softening the appearance of the wrinkles and preventing further formation. The treatment generally takes 15–30 minutes and is minimally uncomfortable. Mild redness or swelling at the injection sites may occur but typically resolves within a few hours. Initial results are visible within 3–7 days, with full effects apparent within 2 weeks. Results can last between 3–6 months, depending on individual factors and follow-up treatments.
