It must have occurred to you that when you’re smiling in front of a mirror or looking at your photos taken while laughing, you worry about the depth of your laugh line. Of course, this concern is quite fair, because the area of the laugh line has an essential effect on facial beauty. So, if you are looking for an effective treatment for the laugh line, bear with Dr. Leila Fard in this article to get familiar with correcting the laugh line through filler injection.
What is a laugh line filler?
The laugh line is the area around the lips that is seen when laughing as two vertical lines on the sides of the lips, respectively. The laugh line area gets deeper rapidly due to sudden and significant weight loss, aging, insomnia, and environmental stresses. One of the best ways to treat laugh lines is to inject quality hyaluronic fillers.
Dr. Leila Fard:
Injection of filler or hyaluronic acid gel will fill these lines at the moment of injection.
What causes laugh lines?
There are several factors that cause the laugh lines to appear, some of which are inevitable. In general, due to aging, weight loss, stress, and insomnia, the area between the nose and the corners of the lip, called the laugh lines, become dim and deeper within the skin. Filling this area with filler will both brighten our face and lift the corners of our lips. In sum, the factors that cause the laugh line to appear are:
- Aging
- Weight loss
- Chronic stress and anxiety
- Inadequate sleep schedule or insomnia
What effect does correcting the laugh line have on the face?
Injecting filler in the laugh line area has a positive effect on relieving facial fatigue and rejuvenation. Laugh line filler, if chosen carefully and delicately, has a resolute effect on lifting the middle part of the face. The type, concentration, and volume of the filler will be selected according to the number and the shape of the laugh lines and will be different for each client.
Dr. Leila Fard:
It is important to set the correction of the laugh line appropriate to the age and anatomical position and structure of the face. This is what special beauty means that the change in the face should only be for the rejuvenation and natural appearance of the skin, and the main form of the face should not change. Most people who want to rejuvenate do not want their face to change at all and just want to look 5 to 10 years younger and fresher.
The importance of the laugh lines’ effect on the lips and smiling
The laugh lines, when hollow, also have the opposite effect on the fullness of the lips. An energized and rejuvenated laugh line makes both our lips more prominent and our nostrils smaller. In fact, because the laugh line is located in the middle and center of the face, it is aesthetically quite effective in the appearance and the rejuvenation of the face.
How long does the laugh line filler last?
Fillers usually last up to six months. However, because the fillers strongly stimulate collagen and tissue formation in the area of injection, their rejuvenating effects last for up to a year.
Does the injection of the laugh line filler hurt?
Before injecting, we completely anesthetize the laugh line area with the anesthetic cream, which makes the injection completely comfortable and painless.
Correcting the laugh line depends on correcting other areas of the face.
Dr. Leila Fard:
Most of us have a laid-back attitude when it comes to laughing and thinking that we need to inject fillers or hyaluronic gel directly into the laugh line. This may be true for very young people or those with good skin texture. But in most of us, the drop in the texture consistency of the cheek or the area of the tear line is the main cause of the sagging and dimming of the laugh line. As a result, filling the laugh line alone and without considering the correction of the cheek and the tear line is not only far from a solution but also causes puffiness and more sagging in the lower part of the face and creates an abnormal appearance in the face form. In fact, the cheekbones and the tear line act as a support and base for the laugh line area. S,o do not be surprised if your cosmetic doctor suggests filling the tear line or cheekbones to improve the sagging of the laugh line as a first step or as an addition to the treatment involving the laugh line injection. This is the value of the beauty plan that is presented to each person during the examination and first visit session. To have a young, fresh, and at the same time natural face, we must pay attention to the priorities needed by our face and benefit from the scientific principles of cosmetic medicine. Therefore, in the first step, we should never seek to inject only in a specific area and instead, give our doctor the opportunity to examine and study the components of our face from different angles and settle what we need according to the age and consistency of our skin, with a scientific and thorough prioritization. This method means that first examination and then, acting according to our own beauty plan will ensure young, fresh, and at the same time a natural and glowing face for us.
