What even is smile line filler?
The lines in between your mouth and your nose created by smiling are your smile lines, also known as the nasolabial folds. As a result of aging and/or excessive smiling, these nasolabial folds can become static lines, which means they become permanent, regardless of your facial expression. Fortunately, nasolabial filler can restore or improve your smile lines, giving you a more youthful and radiant look.

What do I need to know before my treatment?

- Avoid both alcohol and caffeine 24 hours prior to treatment
- Ensure no dental work is scheduled within the 2 weeks prior to appointment or 2 weeks after to avoid risk of infection
