Nasolabial Folds
Nasolabial lines appear from the outer corners of the nostrils to the outer corners of the mouth, marionette lines are the lines that appear from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline and perioral lines, otherwise known as ‘smoker’s lines’ are the fine vertical lines that appear on the top lip. These lines usually become more apparent and deeper with the natural ageing process, sometimes appearing as deep grooves or folds, which can lead to an ‘unhappy’ appearance. These can be treated by administering a soft gel dermal filler to soften, smooth and lift the area. A combination of treatment areas is often more effective and can be discussed at consultation, if needed.
DERMAL FILLERS:
At Face Code Aesthetic we specialise in providing the most advanced and effective but subtle dermal fillers. This treatment can help with deep rehydration of the dermal layer of the skin, replenishing volume that has been lost either through the natural ageing process or through weight loss, mainly in the mid face area to include cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, jawline and lips.
Our dermal fillers contain a high percentage of Hyaluronic Acid which is naturally produced within your skin, slowly diminishing as you age. On it’s own, Hyaluronic Acid will strengthen and hydrate the deeper layers of the skin to give you back that glow. With the added Hyaluronic Acid within the Juvéderm range of dermal fillers, your youthful appearance can be restored. Several areas on the mid-face can be specifically targeted with dermal fillers, however, some areas will have an indirect effect on others; exactly why it will take the trained and creative eye of an expert at Face Code Aesthetic to clearly explain how we can achieve your desired look, while managing your expectations.
It is so important to remember that we are all different and this is why an individual treatment plan at consultation is the first step of your journey with Face Code Aesthetic. We want you to be the best, most confident version of you.
A consultation and treatment can take from 1 hour to 2 hours, depending on your vision. It is quite common for a layering effect to be recommended with some weeks between treatments, depending on the individual. We will only recommend the best and most trusted solution to address your concerns.

WHAT AGE CAN I HAVE TREATMENT?
We, at Face Code Aesthetic, are aware of the power of influence and the harm it can cause. We are happy to treat clients from the age of 21 years old, provided we feel confident it is in their best interest to do so after a thorough consultation.
