A Nasolabial Lift is an advanced, non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatment designed to soften deep smile lines, restore lost volume, and improve skin quality around the nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth). This multi-modality approach targets the underlying causes of nasolabial ageing – collagen loss, skin laxity, and volume depletion – rather than just masking wrinkles.
By combining medical-grade skin resurfacing, laser collagen stimulation, and strategically placed dermal fillers, this treatment delivers natural-looking, long-lasting facial rejuvenation without surgery or prolonged downtime. The result is a smoother, lifted, and more youthful mid-face with enhanced facial harmony.
A Nasolabial Lift Treatment follows a carefully sequenced, medical approach to rejuvenating the smile line area. Before any treatment begins, you will attend an in-person consultation with one of our experienced doctors. This assessment allows us to evaluate your skin quality, facial structure, and degree of volume loss, and to understand your aesthetic goals.
Based on this, a personalised treatment plan is created to ensure safe, natural, and effective results. Once your treatment plan is confirmed, the Nasolabial Lift is carried out in three complementary stages:
Skin Renewal & Refinement
A medical-grade Pyruvic Acid Peel is applied to exfoliate the skin and promote healthy cell turnover gently. This step helps improve surface texture and prepares the skin for deeper rejuvenation.
Collagen Stimulation & Skin Tightening
Next, Laser Genesis (ND:Yag laser) is used to stimulate collagen production and improve skin resilience. This non-invasive laser treatment works beneath the skin’s surface to enhance firmness and overall skin quality around the mouth.
Structural Support & Volume Restoration
The final stage involves the precise placement of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to restore lost volume and soften deeper nasolabial folds. Rather than simply filling lines, this step focuses on subtle lifting and structural support to enhance facial harmony.
This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and ages. You may be a good candidate if you:
Booking a consultation is the first step towards restoring smoother, more youthful-looking skin with confidence and clarity. During your in-person appointment, one of our experienced medical doctors will take the time to understand your concerns, assess your skin and facial structure, and guide you through the most suitable treatment options for your goals.
This personalised approach ensures your treatment plan is not only effective but also thoughtfully tailored to deliver natural, balanced results. A consultation also gives you the opportunity to ask questions, explore combination treatments, and feel fully informed before beginning your rejuvenation journey.
The Nasolabial Lift Treatment is available in Gauteng at the Morningside, Parkhurst, Rosebank, Bedfordview, Fourways, West Rand, Irene, Waterfall, Irene, Lynnwood and Brooklyn clinics, as well as in the Western Cape at Cape Quarter, Claremont, Constantia, Century City, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Willowbridge clinics, and Kwa-Zulu Natal at the Ballito, Durban and Umhlanga clinics.
Results vary depending on your skin quality, lifestyle, and the type of dermal filler used. Still, most patients experience visible improvement for 9–18 months. The skin rejuvenation benefits from the peel and laser can continue to improve with time, especially when supported by a good skincare routine.
Yes. The goal of a Nasolabial Lift is subtle enhancement, not an overfilled appearance. The treatment focuses on restoring structure and balance. Hence, your expressions remain natural while your smile lines appear softer and more youthful.
Most patients experience minimal downtime. You may have mild redness or sensitivity after the peel or laser, and slight swelling or bruising from fillers, but this typically settles within a few days.
While it cannot stop the natural ageing process, the combination of collagen stimulation, skin renewal, and structural support can slow further deepening of nasolabial folds and help maintain a smoother appearance over time.
You will see immediate softening of the nasolabial folds from the dermal fillers. Skin texture and firmness from the peel and laser gradually improve over several weeks as new collagen forms.
Most patients find the Nasolabial Lift Treatment very comfortable. The Pyruvic Peel may cause a mild tingling or warming sensation, while the Laser Genesis treatment feels like gentle warmth on the skin. During dermal filler placement, a topical numbing cream is applied, and the fillers contain local anaesthetic, so discomfort is minimal. Any sensitivity or tenderness afterwards is usually mild and short-lived.
