Nasolabial Fold Filler
Soften smile lines without freezing your expression.
As collagen levels decline and facial fat shifts with age, the nasolabial folds, the lines running from your nose to the corners of your mouth, often become deeper. At Kirei Clinic, Dr Mei and Dr Rosie both treat this area with filler, using a light-handed approach designed to soften the fold while your face keeps its natural movement.
Why Kirei Clinic?
Dr Mei and Dr Rosie assess your whole face before they treat any single line. Your nasolabial folds do not sit in isolation. They connect to cheek volume, skin quality and the way your mid-face supports your smile. Dr Mei brings a background in oral and maxillofacial surgery and 10 years in aesthetic practice, and works alongside Merz, Allergan and Fillmed. Dr Rosie, a Newcastle graduate and former national trainer for polynucleotides, applies the same full-face assessment principle at Kirei Clinic Leeds.

FAQs
How long do results last?
Results from nasolabial fold filler last a minimum of 9 to 12 months, and often last years for our patients. Your rate of change depends on your skin, your muscle movement and your lifestyle, so your clinician reviews timing with you at consultation.
Will this make me look puffy or stiff?
No. Kirei Clinic uses a light-handed approach built to soften the fold while your expression stays natural. Overfilling this area creates a puffy or heavy look, which is why your clinician assesses the right amount for your face rather than applying a fixed volume.
Is this treatment suitable for all ages?
Yes, though presentation varies by age. Nasolabial folds appear at different ages depending on genetics, skin quality and facial structure. Your clinician assesses your fold, your skin and your bone support before recommending filler, rather than basing the decision on age alone.
Does the procedure hurt?
Kirei Clinic generally uses a cannula technique rather than routine numbing cream, and this keeps discomfort low throughout. Most patients describe mild pressure rather than pain.
Who should avoid this treatment?
Nasolabial fold filler is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your clinician reviews your medical history at consultation to confirm the treatment fits your circumstances.
Does filler alone fix deep nasolabial folds?
Yes. Nasolabial fold filler treats the fold directly, adding volume beneath the crease to soften the depth. Your clinician assesses how much filler your fold needs and places the product accordingly, so results stay proportionate to your face.
