If you have noticed deep lines running from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth, you are not alone. These are known as nasolabial folds, and they are one of the most common concerns that clients bring to Emilee Mae Aesthetics. As we age, the skin loses collagen and elasticity, and the fat pads in our face begin to shift downward. The result is those familiar smile lines that can make us look older or more tired than we actually feel.
The good news is that there is a safe, effective and non-surgical solution available right here in Staffordshire.
What Causes Nasolabial Folds to Deepen Over Time?
Nasolabial folds are completely natural. Everyone has them to some degree. However, several factors can cause them to become more pronounced over time. These include the natural ageing process, significant weight loss, sun damage, smoking, and a reduction in the skin's natural collagen production.
For many people, these lines begin to feel less like a sign of laughter and more like something that affects their confidence. At Emilee Mae Aesthetics, we understand that. Our approach is never to erase your natural expressions but to soften and balance your appearance so you feel refreshed and like the best version of yourself.
How Does Nasolabial Fold Treatment Work at Emilee Mae Aesthetics?
Nasolabial fold treatment at Emilee Mae Aesthetics uses premium dermal filler, carefully injected along the fold to restore lost volume, lift the surrounding tissue and smooth the appearance of those deep lines. The result is a naturally refreshed look that does not appear overdone or obvious.
Every treatment at Emilee Mae Aesthetics begins with a full consultation. Emilee will assess your facial anatomy, listen to your goals and create a personalised treatment plan that is right for you. As a fully NMC registered nurse with a Master's degree in Nursing Science, Emilee brings genuine clinical expertise and a careful eye for natural-looking results to every appointment.
Emilee Mae Aesthetics uses only FDA-approved, medically prescribed dermal fillers including Belotero and Stylage, both widely recognised for their safety profile and natural finish.
Can Anti Wrinkle Injections Help Alongside Filler Treatment?
For many clients, combining nasolabial fold filler with anti wrinkle injections in Stone delivers even more balanced and comprehensive results. While filler restores volume and smooths deeper folds, anti wrinkle injections work to relax the muscles responsible for dynamic lines such as forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet.
Together, these two treatments complement each other beautifully and can take years off your appearance in a way that still looks completely natural. Emilee Mae Aesthetics offers both treatments and will always recommend the combination that is most appropriate for your individual needs, never more than is necessary.
Practical Tips Before Your Treatment at Emilee Mae Aesthetics
Before attending your appointment at Emilee Mae Aesthetics, here are a few helpful things to keep in mind:
Avoid blood thinning medications where possible. Things like ibuprofen and aspirin can increase the risk of bruising. Always check with your GP before stopping any prescribed medication.
Stay hydrated. Well-hydrated skin responds better to filler treatments and supports a smoother result.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment. Alcohol thins the blood and can increase bruising and swelling after treatment.
Come to your appointment with a clean face. Arriving without makeup helps Emilee assess your skin and facial structure accurately during the consultation.
Be honest about your medical history. Emilee Mae Aesthetics takes your safety seriously. Sharing your full medical history ensures your treatment is carried out safely and appropriately.
