Naso Labial Folds (NLF)
Lifting and Volume Support with Advanced Electrotherapy
Naso labial folds, also known as smile lines, run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines are a natural part of facial expression, but over time they can deepen and become more permanent.
Some people develop them at a younger age due to genetics, while for others they may become more pronounced following weight loss or changes in skin structure.
The goal is not to remove expression, but to soften and support the skin so that lines reflect movement rather than permanent creasing. A smoother, more supported skin structure creates a more youthful appearance.
Why Naso Labial Folds Develop
Several factors contribute to the formation of smile lines:
Natural ageing and collagen loss
Genetic predisposition
Facial expression over time
Loss of facial volume
Weight loss and changes in facial fat distribution
Skin laxity and reduced elasticity
As the skin becomes thinner and less supported, creases deepen and become more visible.
Treatment Approach
Treating naso labial folds requires a multi-layered approach, working on:
muscle tone
dermal collagen support
skin hydration and elasticity
At Daydreams Skin & Body Therapy, a combination of advanced technologies is used to support lifting and skin rejuvenation.
Bio Therapeutic Microcurrent
The Bio Therapeutic Suzuki microcurrent is well known for its lifting and toning effects on facial muscles.
It works by gently stimulating facial muscles to encourage a firmer, more lifted appearance. Treatments are comfortable and non-invasive, making them suitable for regular use as part of an age-management programme.
The bt-sculpt system further enhances results by energising the skin and supporting facial definition.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Radio frequency works by delivering controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating fibroblasts and encouraging collagen production.
Over time, this helps to:
improve skin firmness
support elasticity
reduce the appearance of deeper lines
Electroporation and Active Skincare
Electroporation allows active ingredients to be introduced into the deeper layers of the skin without needles or discomfort.
This enhances absorption of targeted formulations such as Age Solution 360, an intensive anti-ageing treatment designed to:
support dermal repair
improve skin density
help soften expression lines
protect against environmental stress
Some systems also incorporate phototherapy, which supports skin regeneration at a cellular level.
Age Management Facial
This treatment combines advanced technologies to support lifting, firming and overall skin rejuvenation.
By working across multiple layers of the skin, it helps to improve tone, texture and facial definition for a more refreshed appearance.
