Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
Nasolabial Lines
The lines that appear from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth are called nasolabial lines. They develop because of ageing, loss of fat volume and repetitive smiling which makes the skin creases appear deeper. A mid-thickness hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm or Stylage) is used to restore the volume loss within this region and soften the skin creases. A local anaesthetic is included within the filler and a strong anaesthetic cream is applied prior to the treatment to minimise any pain. This treatment is often successfully combined with cheek fillers and marionette line filler to give you a refreshed looking ‘face lift’. Treatment takes 20 minutes to perform and lasts on average for 6 months.

Marionette Lines
Marionette lines run from the corner of your mouth to your chin and give you the appearance of a ‘sad’ looking face. They also form through the process of ageing, loss of fat volume, smoking and exercising. Similarly to treating nasolabial lines, a mid-thickness hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm or Stylage) is used to restore the volume loss within this region, helping you regain your confidence to smile. A local anaesthetic is included within the filler and a strong prescription anaesthetic cream is applied prior to the treatment to minimise any pain. Treatment takes 20 minutes to perform and lasts on average for 6 months.I recently discovered Dr Gakhal at Surgicare Aesthetics, and had a combination of treatments including Juvederm fillers (lips, cheekbones & Nasolabial lines)... From start to finish, I had an extremely positive experience. I found Dr Gakhal friendly, professional & very knowledgeable, and felt immediately at ease... The overall result is I look fresher & younger, and feel happier & more confident in myself. I will continue to use this service and would highly recommend to anyone considering this type of treatment
