Nasolabial folds are among the first visible signs of skin aging and can significantly affect a youthful appearance. These pronounced wrinkles, which run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, are caused by the natural aging process and the loss of Collagen and elastin in the skin. Many people find these wrinkles bothersome and seek effective solutions to regain their fresh, youthful appearance.
At our luxurious Skinthetics practice in Düsseldorf, we offer a modern and proven method for treating nasolabial folds. The injection treatment of high-quality Hyaluronic acid into the nasolabial folds is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures. As an expert in aesthetic treatments, Dr. Lucija Grittern relies on state-of-the-art equipment and top-quality services that meet the latest global standards.
Our individual treatment concept allows us to treat your nasolabial folds in a targeted manner and achieve natural-looking results. Nasolabial fold hyaluronic acid treatment is carried out in our first-class environment with the utmost precision and care. By using biocompatible fillers, we can effectively fill in the wrinkles and restore your face's freshness and youthfulness.
Nasolabial folds are natural facial wrinkles that run from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. This characteristic line is caused by the anatomical structure of the face and is accentuated over time by various factors. With age, the skin loses elasticity and volume, making the nasolabial folds increasingly prominent.
Several factors contribute to the formation and deepening of these wrinkles: The natural aging process leads to the breakdown of Collagen and Hyaluronic acid in the skin. At the same time, the facial muscles change and the subcutaneous fatty tissue decreases. Facial expressions, UV radiation, and genetic predisposition further exacerbate this development.
The severity of nasolabial folds varies greatly from person to person. While they are often only visible in young people when making intense facial expressions, they become permanent with age. This can affect the entire appearance of the face and contribute to a tired or older appearance.
Nasolabial folds injection treatment is based on the targeted injection of hyaluronic acid into the affected skin areas. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the human body and binds large amounts of water, giving the skin volume and elasticity.
Our customized treatment concept begins with a detailed analysis of your facial structure. Dr. Lucija Grittern determines the optimal injection points and the required amount of Hyaluronic acid. The treatment is performed with special, very thin needles or cannulas, which are inserted precisely into the appropriate skin layers.
The injected hyaluronic acid fills the wrinkles from within and gently plumps up the tissue. This smooths out the nasolabial folds and restores volume and contour to the face. The fillers used integrate naturally into the tissue and also stimulate the body's own Collagen production.
The success of the treatment is immediately visible, with the final result being achieved after about two weeks. Nasolabial folds hyaluronic acid treatment enables very natural-looking results that respect your individual facial features.

Before the actual treatment, the treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Optionally, a local anesthetic cream can be applied to increase treatment comfort. We document the initial condition with before pictures for later progress monitoring.
The actual injection treatment to reduce nasolabial folds is performed with the utmost precision. Dr. Lucija Grittern uses state-of-the-art injection techniques and precisely applies the Hyaluronic acid to the appropriate skin layers. She pays particular attention to ensuring that the material is distributed evenly.
The treatment is usually painless and is well tolerated by most patients. By using special cannulas, we can minimize the risk of bruising. The entire procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the extent of the treatment.
You can leave our practice immediately after the treatment and are immediately socially presentable. However, we recommend that you take care of the treated areas for the first 24 hours and avoid intense sunlight. Light cooling can reduce any swelling that may occur.
Our team is also available to answer any questions you may have after the treatment. The treatment results are evaluated during a follow-up appointment and minor corrections are made if necessary.

In principle, the treatment is suitable for anyone who has bothersome nasolabial folds and wants a more youthful appearance. The prerequisite is realistic expectations and good general health. During our consultation, we will assess on an individual basis whether the treatment is suitable for you.
The treatment itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Including the consultation, preparation, and a short follow-up, you should plan on spending about an hour for your appointment. The exact duration depends on the individual scope of treatment.
In most cases, one treatment is sufficient to achieve significant improvements. For very pronounced wrinkles or special anatomical conditions, two sessions a few weeks apart may be necessary. Dr. Lucija Grittern will advise you individually on this.
The duration of effect is typically 12 to 18 months, but this can vary from person to person. Factors such as skin type, metabolism, and lifestyle influence longevity. To maintain the result, we recommend a refresher treatment after this period.
The treatment is usually painless. Many patients report only mild, brief discomfort during the injection. If desired, a local anesthetic cream can be used to further increase comfort. Most of our patients find the treatment to be well tolerated.
In the first 24 hours, you should avoid intense physical activity, saunas, and direct sunlight. Do not touch or massage the treated areas. Light cooling can be helpful for swelling. Normal everyday activities are possible immediately.
As with all medical treatments, side effects can occur. Common, mostly harmless reactions include slight swelling, Redness, or small bruises at the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days. Serious complications are very rare when performed professionally.
The cost for a nasolabial fold injection treatment starts at €450. The exact price depends on the individual scope of treatment and the amount of Hyaluronic acid required. We will be happy to provide you with a personalized quote after a personal consultation.
