Nasolabial folds, the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, are a common sign of ageing. At our doctor-led facial aesthetics clinic in London, we offer non-surgical solutions that restore volume, smooth lines, and rejuvenate the skin naturally. Patients in Mayfair and Central London often choose Alcove Aesthetics for subtle, long-lasting results without invasive surgery.
Understanding Nasolabial Folds
As we age, facial fat diminishes and collagen production slows. This causes the skin around the nose and mouth to crease, forming nasolabial folds. While some lines are a normal part of facial expression, deepening folds can make the face appear tired or aged. Many patients seek treatments that enhance their features while maintaining a natural look — avoiding the “overdone” appearance associated with older injectable techniques.
What It Is & How It Works
Non-surgical nasolabial fold treatments focus on restoring lost volume and stimulating collagen rather than cutting or lifting skin. At Alcove Aesthetics, we use a combination of doctor-administered treatments tailored to your needs:
- Dermal Fillers – Precision injectable gels like hyaluronic acid replenish volume along the nasolabial line. Depending on your needs, treatment packages such as Precision 2 ml (£650) or Enhance 4 ml (£1,250) can lift and smooth folds naturally. Dermal Fillers integrate seamlessly with surrounding tissue for subtle contouring.
- Sculptra – Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra stimulates collagen production over several weeks, gradually restoring firmness and structure. Typical courses start at 1 vial (£350), with multiple vials enhancing long-term results. Sculptra is ideal for those seeking a natural, progressive improvement in skin texture and volume.
- Polynucleotides & PRP – Regenerative treatments such as Polynucleotides and PRP harness your body’s own growth factors to repair and rejuvenate skin. Polynucleotides are priced at £330 per session or £900 for three, while PRP starts at £350 per session. These therapies enhance elasticity, hydration, and skin thickness for a refreshed appearance.
- Skin Boosters – Treatments like Profhilo (£300 per session) deliver deep hydration and encourage collagen synthesis. This is particularly effective when combined with fillers or regenerative therapies to achieve a smoother, more youthful look.
All treatments are performed by Dr Goziem Onuchukwu — BDS, MSc (Aesthetic Medicine), GDC Registered Dentist. With over 7 years of experience and more than 1,000 patients treated, Dr Goziem ensures precision and safety with every procedure.
