In today’s episode I take you through what nasolabial lines are, how they appear and what can be done to treat them.
NASOLABIAL FOLDS
These are those folds that run alongside the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Their presence is normal, however with time, they may deep leaving a saggy appearance.
HOW TO TREAT
There are several options that may be explored.
Non-permanent dermal fillers can be strategically used in this area to reduce the volume deficit.
The filler is strategically placed along the fold bearing in mind the underlying facial anatomy - including the facial artery. Treatment of the piriform fossa may also be included which lies at the root of the fold. Typically a needle or cannula may be used to reduce risks.
Other methods of treatment include fat transfers, thread lifts or face lifts.

If you’re considering injectables in time for Christmas or the new year it’s important to remember that anti-wrinkle treatments take full effect after 2 weeks. Filler may take up to 4 weeks to fully settle in. We usually recommended leaving 6 weeks prior to a big event.

In today’s episode of Dr Nora, I go through what excessive sweating is (or hyperhidrosis), its causes and typical treatments including the use of anti-wrinkle injections.
HYPERHIDROSIS
It is thought that approximately 3% of the population suffer from excessive sweating. It typically affects the hands, underarms, feet or neck and face. There are a number of treatments available all with varying efficacy.

In today’s episode I take you through what marionette lines are, how they appear and what can be done to treat them.
MARIONETTE LINES
The name originates from marionette string puppets who have dark lines from the corners of the mouth to the jaw allowing them to move their mouth.
As we age, we loose volume in this area and hence lines appear more prominent.
HOW TO TREAT
There are several options that may be explored.
Non-permanent dermal fillers can be strategically used in this area to reduce the volume deficit.
Another option is to consider anti-wrinkle treatment to the muscles of the lower face - DAO. These muscles pull the corner of the mouth down and out. By temporarily inactivating this muscle, the corners of the mouth settle in an upwards position. It’s important to understand that if the crease lines of the marionettes are very deep, anti-wrinkle to this area is unlikely to change this appearance. Very often dermal fillers and anti-wrinkle treatment to the corners of the mouth are done in conjunction with one another.
A final method to consider is a mini face lift or a permanent surgical procedure to lift and pull back the lower face.
