Nasolabial Folds Treatment in Seoul
QUICK ANSWER
Deep nasolabial folds are usually caused by the cheek descending rather than the fold itself. Lifting the mid-face (Ultherapy) and restoring cheek support often softens the fold better than filling it directly. Filler in the fold is a finishing step, with results lasting 6–12 months.
