At first you may notice fine lines developing and a slight shift in your facial appearance and you are the only evidence. But you know what is going on, don't you? This is aging which won't stop ever.

The body naturally produces regularly new collagen and elastin fibers to keep our skin firm, smooth and uniform in color. With age the production of collagen and elastin can slow down creating facial lines. The slowdown may caused by-

1. Poor nutrient intake- Amino acids and Vitamin C are needed to create new fillers.
2. Poor health-The body may be too busy repairing damage elsewhere to produce new collagen and elastin.
3. Too much sun , smoke and toxic exposures can lead to ugly facial lines.
4. Sometimes it can be due to hereditary.
5. Avoiding taking care of the skin.
6. Natural changes that accompany aging.
7. Dryness Issues- Dry skin easily becomes irritated and inflamed.

Commonly known as smile line or laugh line folds are actually two skin folds which run from corner to the each area of the nozzle and separated from cheeks by them. This Nasolabial Folds extends south past the corner of the mouth and sometimes nearing the lower border of the jaw in extreme cases of skin laxity.

As the mid face begins to sag, our beautiful cheeks start developing nasal labial folds creating the look of old.  You can follow the following regime to slow down future wrinkles or damaged facial skin.

1. Take good care of skin- clean your face regularly with dehydrated cleanser to remove dirt or face make-up followed by moisturizer.
2. Apply various daily home products to the skin like yoghurt, honey, orange, lemon juice and banana. These tighten enlarging pores, keep it smooth, hydrated and wrinkle free.
3. Increase vitamin and minerals intake- Vitamin C found in Citrus fruits and vegetables which reduced eye lines and dark circles. Vitamin E found in nuts, seeds or as capsules avoid breaking down of the molecular bonds in the skin caused by pollution and damaging UV rays. Vitamin K in leafy vegetables tightens the veins of the skin.
4. Control stress- Too much frowning and squeezing of the face in the form of crying or worrying causes wrinkles. This should be reduced.

Apart from the above regular practice, this fold's reduction can be treated with injectable fillers as well which are quick, easy to do and the results are immediate. For serious muscle disorder, a prescribed medicine named Dysport is injected into muscles. It reduces the nasolabial folds just relaxing the muscle. It is approved by the U.S Food and Drug Administration.
