Who here sees two lines on the side of their nose when they look in the mirror or take a photo? Those are smile lines! If you're younger, these lines might not be very deep. But as you get older, smile lines can get more noticeable, which can affect how our face looks and our confidence.
10 must-know Q&A for people with deep smile lines
How do we fix smile lines? Smile lines are a sign of an aging face, making us look older and less friendly. But there is a clear solution that works well nowadays: smile line fillers.
If you’re interested in this treatment and looking for information, including benefits and important details about smile line fillers to make the face look younger, we’ve gathered the 10 most common questions and answers to help you decide
Q1: Why do smile lines become deep? How can we fix them?
A: Deep smile lines happen for many reasons, like natural collagen loss with age, fat loss under the skin, frequent facial movements, and skin that starts to sag as the facial structure changes. This all leads to less skin elasticity.
The best way to reduce deep smile lines is to add fillers. These fillers make the lines look less deep. Also, Ultraformer III can lift sagging cheeks, which can reduce the look of deep smile lines. Ultraformer III also helps prevent lines from getting worse, especially if you start early.
Q2: What are smile line fillers? How do they help?
A: Smile line fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is injected to reduce deep lines and smooth the skin. When the lines look less deep, the face looks more youthful.
Q3: What type of filler is used for smile lines?
A: The safest filler is hyaluronic acid (HA), approved by health authorities. This filler can hold moisture, making the skin look plump and reducing deep lines.
At good clinics, only approved HA fillers from top global brands are used, and you can check the filler before injection.
Q4: Is smile line filler injection painful? How long does it take?
A: The injection is quick and convenient, taking only 20-30 minutes per area. Most fillers contain anesthetic to reduce pain, and numbing cream is also available at no extra cost.
Q5: How long do smile line fillers last?
A: Typically, the results from smile line Filler
last about 8-12 months. This depends on the type of filler used, the area injected, skin condition, self-care, and lifestyle after the injection. To keep the results as long as possible, it’s best to follow your doctor’s advice.
Q6: Who are smile line fillers suitable for?
A: They’re ideal for people with deep lines from fat and collagen loss or bone structure changes.
Doctors will assess and may recommend fillers alone or with other treatments for best results.
Q7: How does Ultraformer III help with smile lines?
A: Ultraformer III: uses MMFU (Micro and Macro Focused Ultrasound) to stimulate collagen production, lifting sagging skin around the cheeks and reducing smile lines caused by sagging.
Q8: Can you get fillers and Ultraformer III together?
A: Yes, you can do both smile line fillers and Ultraformer III for lifting the cheek area if the doctor assesses your face and recommends it. Doing both can give you the best results—a younger-looking face with smoother smile lines, plumper skin, and tighter cheeks that don’t sag. This combination helps reduce the chance of deeper smile lines in the future.
Q9: How should you prepare before smile line fillers?
A: There’s actually not much you need to do to prepare for filler treatments. However, if you easily bruise or worry about needle marks, follow the doctor’s tips below to reduce visible marks or bruising, which can sometimes take longer to heal.
Q10: What should you avoid after getting smile line fillers?
A: Drink lots of water in the first month to help fillers settle. Avoid pressing on the area, and stay away from high-heat activities like saunas or laser treatments until fillers fully set.
