Smile lines (nasolabial folds) usually become noticeable after age 30 due to natural aging, collagen loss, and bone structure changes. Over time, the skin loses firmness, causing deeper folds that remain even when the face is at rest.
However, some people in their early 20s may already see these lines forming. This can be worrying because collagen production should still be strong at this age. The truth is, other factors can cause premature smile lines. In this article, we’ll explain the reasons behind this issue and howsmile line fillertreatment can help restore a youthful look.
What causes smile lines at a young Age?
- Frequent facial expressions: Smiling, laughing, and moving your cheek muscles often can create repeated folds in the skin. Over time, these folds become permanent.
- Skin-damaging habits: Lack of sleep, poor skincare, not drinking enough water, and an unhealthy diet (oily, fried, or sugary foods) can speed up collagen breakdown and cause premature wrinkles.
- Sleeping position: If you sleep on your side or stomach, your face is pressed against the pillow for long hours. This pressure deepens smile lines over time.
- Rapid weight loss: Losing weight quickly can cause fat loss in the cheeks, making the skin sag and smile lines more visible.
- Genetics and facial structure: Some people naturally have lower cheekbones, making smile lines more noticeable from a young age. If your parents developed smile lines early, you might also experience them sooner due to genetics.
Some causes of smile lines can be managed, but factors like bone structure and genetics cannot be changed. And avoiding smiling or laughing isn’t realistic, right? That’s why smile line filler is a popular and effective solution. It fills in deep lines, making them look smoother while keeping the face looking natural and youthful.
Filler for smile lines – A solution for young people with deep lines
Filler is a popular treatment for reducing wrinkles, under-eye hollows, marionette lines, and smile lines. It contains hyaluronic acid (HA), which helps the skin retain moisture and adds volume, making it look plumper and firmer. This helps soften deep smile lines naturally. Getting filler injections is a quick, effective, and safe way to treat deep smile lines.
How long does smile line filler last?
Since fillers are made of HA, a substance naturally found in the body, the skin easily adapts to it. Over time, the filler will dissolve naturally, but the effects can last 8-12 months, keeping your skin smooth and youthful for a long time.
Combining smile line and cheek fillers for better results
In some cases, treating deep smile lines requires cheek fillers as well. This is useful for people with sagging skin or low collagen levels. If you have naturally low cheekbones, cheek fillers can lift the skin, reduce smile lines, and add volume to the cheeks, making your face look fuller and more youthful.
How many CCs of filler do you need for smile lines?
smile line fillerAt least 2 cc of filler is usually needed to fill deep smile lines. You can check the depth of your smile lines by lightly pressing on them—you will likely feel a noticeable crease. Filler smooths out this area instantly, making a visible difference right after the treatment.
