Professional, Doctor-Led Skin Treatments for Smile Lines in Brisbane
Nasolabial folds, commonly known as smile lines, are the creases that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. While they are a natural part of facial anatomy, they can deepen over time due to various factors. If these lines are becoming more noticeable and you’re seeking professional, doctor-led care, Queensland Skin & Laser offers a range of safe and effective medical nasolabial folds treatments in Brisbane.
Whether you want to soften their appearance or improve skin support in this area, our clinic provides tailored treatment options to suit your needs. We take a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation and skin health, ensuring you receive the right care based on your goals, facial structure, and skin condition.
Causes of
Nasolabial Folds
There are several reasons why smile lines become more visible or deeper over time:
- Ageing: As we get older, the skin loses elasticity and natural collagen, leading to sagging and creasing.
- Sun Exposure: UV radiation damages collagen and elastin, accelerating skin ageing.
- Volume Loss: The cheeks and mid-face lose volume with age, which can cause the skin to fold downward.
- Facial Movement: Repeated expressions like smiling and laughing play a role in shaping these lines.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, dehydration, stress, and poor skincare habits can contribute to earlier or more noticeable lines.
- Genetics: Some people are more predisposed to prominent nasolabial folds due to their bone structure or skin type.
Benefits of
Nasolabial Folds Treatment
Choosing to treat nasolabial folds can bring several benefits beyond just surface-level changes:
- Smoother Skin Appearance: Treatments help soften the fold, improving overall facial balance.
- Support for Mid-Face Structure: Certain approaches help lift and support the skin above the fold.
- Non-Surgical Options: Many smile lines treatments are minimally invasive with minimal downtime.
- Improved Skin Quality: Some treatments improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity in the long term.
- Tailored Results: Treatments are customised to your facial structure, ensuring natural-looking results that suit your individual features.

When to Consider Treatment for Smile Lines
Smile lines, or nasolabial folds, are a natural part of facial anatomy, but if they begin to feel more pronounced or start affecting the overall balance of your face, it may be time to consider treatment. You might notice makeup settling into the lines, or that the area around your mouth appears less supported than it once did. These changes often occur gradually due to age-related volume loss, sun exposure, or repetitive facial movements.
Treatment isn’t just about smoothing the fold, it’s about supporting the surrounding skin and improving texture, firmness, and hydration. Early intervention can help maintain skin structure over time and reduce the need for more intensive treatments later.
At Queensland Skin & Laser in Brisbane, we offer personalised assessments and treatment plans to suit your needs. If you’re unsure whether it’s the right time, book a complimentary cosmetic consultation and we’ll help guide you.
Nasolabial Folds Treatments at Queensland Skin & Laser
We offer a personalised range of nasolabial folds treatment options, all performed by our medical team in a boutique clinical environment in Brisbane.
Depending on your skin, goals, and level of support required, we may recommend one or a combination of the following:
- Laser Skin Rejuvenation: Helps rebuild collagen and improve skin elasticity, making folds appear less defined.
- Skin Tightening Treatments: Devices that use energy to stimulate skin lifting and firming, especially useful for mid-face sagging.
- Medical Microneedling: Encourages collagen production around the fold for improved texture and firmness.
- Volume Restoration Techniques: Carefully selected treatments that support volume loss without overfilling or creating artificial results.
- Advanced Skincare Programs: Medical-grade skincare and treatment plans to support ongoing skin health and quality.
Your treatment plan will be discussed in detail during your consultation. Our approach is conservative, medical, and guided by facial anatomy, ensuring results that look refreshed but never overdone.
Preventing Nasolabial Fold Lines
While nasolabial folds are a normal part of ageing, there are steps you can take to reduce their appearance over time. Daily sun protection is essential, as UV exposure breaks down collagen and accelerates skin ageing. Maintaining skin hydration, using medical-grade skincare, and avoiding smoking can also help preserve elasticity and volume in the mid-face. A healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and a balanced diet will also help support overall skin health.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for nasolabial folds?
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The best nasolabial folds treatment depends on your skin type, facial volume, and how deep the fold is. At Queensland Skin & Laser, we’ll assess your skin and recommend a combination of treatments that may include laser resurfacing, skin tightening, or collagen-stimulating options. Book a clinical consultation to get started with a tailored plan.
How long do nasolabial fold treatments last?
It depends on the treatment method used. Skin tightening and laser procedures offer gradual improvements over weeks to months, with results that can last over a year. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6–12 months. We’ll help you plan a personalised schedule for long-term skin support during your consultation.
Are smile lines treatments painful?
Most smile lines treatment options are well-tolerated with minimal discomfort. Laser treatments and microneedling may involve a warming or tingling sensation, but numbing creams can be used if needed. Our clinic provides a calm, supportive environment to ensure you feel comfortable during every visit. Get a free 15 minute phone consultation today.
When should I consider treatment for smile lines?
You may want to consider smile lines treatment if the folds have become more noticeable or if makeup is settling into the creases. Earlier intervention can support better results over time. At our Brisbane clinic, we offer skin assessments to determine the best time and approach for your individual needs. Call us today.
Can skincare help reduce nasolabial folds?
Skincare alone can’t remove nasolabial folds, but it plays a key role in prevention and maintenance. Using products that support collagen production, skin hydration, and barrier protection may improve the skin’s texture and resilience. At our Brisbane clinic, we may recommend medical-grade skincare as part of a broader treatment plan for longer-lasting results.
How many sessions will I need for smile lines treatment?
The number of sessions depends on the type of treatment and the severity of the folds. Some treatments show results after one session, while others like collagen induction or laser resurfacing work best over a series of appointments. During your consultation at Queensland Skin & Laser, we’ll create a treatment schedule tailored to your skin and desired outcome.
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
