There are three main types of nasolabial folds:

• dash-folds,
• gap-folds,
• gradient folds.

Line folds are characterized by superficial, barely noticeable lines and most often occur in people with thin and dry skin due to active facial expressions.

Gap folds appear with age due to loss of tissue volume and appear as V- or U-shaped furrows. Gradient folds are the most pronounced and deep wrinkles that occur as a result of significant changes in facial tissue, especially in its middle and lower third.

The appearance of nasolabial folds can be caused not only by age-related changes, but also by factors such as sudden changes in weight, the negative impact of ultraviolet radiation, smoking and bad habits.

Anatomically, these folds are formed due to a decrease in the skin’s ability to support subcutaneous fat, which is associated with a decrease in the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.

Various injection and hardware techniques are used to correct nasolabial folds. Among the injection procedures, contour plastics using hyaluronic acid, botulinum therapy and mesotherapy stand out.
