Nasolabial fold

Nasolabial folds are another name given to the wrinkles and folds that stretch from the bottom of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Everyone has these wrinkles to an extent, however, they tend to become more prominent as a result of the natural collagen loss that accompanies the process of ageing. When the body loses collagen, the skin loses some of its much-needed support, causing it to become less firm and flexible and deepening and increasing the prominence of any fine lines and wrinkles as a result. Other factors such as chronic sun exposure and certain lifestyle choices, like smoking, can also accentuate the prominence of these folds.
