Smile Lines / Nasolabial Folds in Elk Grove, CA
Smile lines, also called nasolabial folds, are the lines that run from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth. These lines are a normal part of aging, but over time, they can become deeper and more noticeable, even when your face is at rest.
At Humble Hydration and Wellness in Elk Grove, CA, we take a simple and thoughtful approach to treating smile lines. Our goal is to help you feel more comfortable with how your skin looks while keeping your natural expressions. If these lines have started to stand out more than you would like, there are options that can help soften their appearance in a subtle way.
First-Time Clients: All new clients are required to complete a medical consultation and assessment. A one-time $30 consultation fee applies and will be completed prior to or during your first appointment.
Smile lines form over time due to everyday facial movement and natural changes in the skin. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Loss of collagen as you age
- Repeated smiling and facial expressions
- Changes in facial volume
- Skin is becoming less firm over time
- Sun exposure and daily environmental factors
These lines can start off light and gradually become deeper. Everyone’s skin is different, so the way they show up can vary from person to person.
You may notice that your smile lines are no longer just visible when you smile. They can start to stay even when your face is relaxed. This is usually when people begin to look into treatment options.
Skincare products can help support your skin, but they often do not reach deeper folds. Professional treatments can help address the muscle movement that plays a role in how these lines form.
At Humble Hydration and Wellness, we take the time to understand what you are noticing and what you are hoping to improve. From there, we can talk through options that feel right for you.
This option may be helpful if your smile lines become more noticeable when you make facial expressions. By relaxing targeted muscles, neurotoxins can help reduce how strong those lines appear over time. Botox®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® all work in a similar way. The main difference is the formula, and during your visit, we can help you decide which one makes the most sense for you.
Neurotoxins are usually a good option when facial movement plays a big role in how the lines look. During your consultation, we will look at how your face moves and where the lines are most visible. This helps us recommend an option that fits your needs.
