Sagging & Nasolabial Folds

Sagging & Nasolabial Folds

Q

Why does facial sagging occur?

A

Facial sagging results from a combination of factors, including age-related loss of skin firmness and elasticity, as well as changes in subcutaneous fat and the tissues that support the skin. Since lifestyle factors such as UV exposure, diet, and sleep also play a role, there is often more than one cause. At YAYOI CLINIC, we assess the extent of sagging during a consultation and recommend treatments tailored to the specific causes.

Q

What is the difference between facial sagging and nasolabial folds?

A

Facial sagging refers to the loosening of the skin and the underlying tissues that support it, and nasolabial folds are prominent lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. The drooping of facial tissues is one of the causes of nasolabial folds. At YAYOI CLINIC, we assess not only the area around the mouth but also the condition of the cheeks and jawline to determine the best treatment plan.
