What is the nasolabial fold filler?
Nasolabial fold filler is a minimally invasive medical-aesthetic treatment that uses hyaluronic acid to soften the lines and folds that form between the nose and the corners of the mouth. This procedure helps restore lost volume, improve hydration, and provide greater firmness to the skin, achieving a more rejuvenated, rested, and natural-looking face.
The results are immediately visible, with a harmonious effect that respects facial expression. Additionally, the treatment enhances skin quality and can last between 8 and 12 months, depending on the skin type and metabolism of each patient.
Medical evidence and support
Nasolabial fold filler with hyaluronic acid is included in the guidelines of the Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SEME) on facial rejuvenation. The current technique prioritizes addressing the midface (cheekbone) as the primary cause of descent, and only treats the fold directly when it is marked by anatomy or genetic origin, not by structural sagging.
What does the nasolabial fold filler treatment involve?
The treatment is carried out entirely in the medical office of the Instituto de Benito in Barcelona or Madrid, in an outpatient session always designed and supervised by a licensed aesthetic physician. It consists of the following steps:
Personalized medical assessment:
Before the treatment, an assessment is conducted with the aesthetic physician at the Instituto de Benito. They study your case, listen to your goals, rule out contraindications, and design a personalized plan. The first aesthetic medical visit costs €50 (deductible from the first treatment).
Analysis with NESAI®
Diagnosis of hydration, dermal density, collagen, and firmness with 99.99% accuracy.
Treatment preparation:
Preparation is simple: the area must be clean and free of creams. The doctor will advise you if it is necessary to avoid any medication (anticoagulants, NSAIDs) in the days prior to minimize bruising, and discuss any relevant circumstances for your safety with you.
Application of treatment in consultation
The doctor disinfects the area, applies topical anesthesia if necessary, and performs the microinjections with very fine needles, following the designed plan. The session is carried out entirely in consultation and the patient resumes their routine immediately.

The results appear within the expected timeframe for the treatment, with a natural and harmonious finish. The doctor provides you with home care instructions and schedules follow-up check-ups.

Risks and possible side effects of the nasolabial fold
Nasolabial fold filler is a safe treatment when performed by a licensed doctor in an authorized center and with approved medical products. Even so, every medical procedure has a profile of possible effects that it is honest to share with you.
Expected and mild reactions (self-limiting in 24-72 h)
- Papules or small wheals at the injection sites, which subside in minutes or hours
- Localized redness (erythema) of the area
- Mild bruising (more common in thin skin or if taking anticoagulants/NSAIDs)
- Sensitivity or slight local discomfort
- Mild swelling for 24-72 h
Less frequent effects:
- Mild asymmetries correctable at the touch-up appointment
- Hypersensitivity or itching that subsides in a few days
- Transient post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if the area is exposed to the sun
- In specific cases: nodules or product irregularities that are corrected with massage or dissolution
Uncommon complications:
- Local or systemic allergic reactions
- Delayed granulomas due to reaction to the product
- In vascular areas: accidental vascular occlusion (extremely rare, manageable if detected in time)
- In cases of malpractice or professional intrusion: infections, persistent nodules, lipodystrophy or scarring
Our medical group aesthetic medicine
An aesthetic doctor from the IdB team assesses whether your groove is treated directly or if it is advisable to treat it from the cheekbone (cause).
Commitment to the Instituto de Benito
The nasolabial fold is worked with precise technique because its excess filling produces "hamster face"; the Instituto de Benito prioritizes repositioning the cheekbone when it is the cause.
At the Instituto de Benito, patient safety comes before any aesthetic goal. We work with audited clinical protocols, medical CE marked health products and batch traceability, single-use instruments, dedicated aesthetic medicine rooms and personalized follow-up between sessions. We never delegate a medical-aesthetic procedure to non-medical staff.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the nasolabial fold filler last?
Results typically last between 9 and 12 months, depending on the type of product used, facial anatomy, and the metabolism of each patient.
What is the difference between the nasolabial fold and marionette lines?
The nasolabial fold extends from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.
Marionette lines appear from the corner of the mouth towards the chin. Although they are different areas, they often appear simultaneously and can be treated in the same session.
How much does the treatment cost?
The price for the nasolabial fold treatment is €300 per area.
We perform the treatment at our clinics in Barcelona and Madrid.
Why is the cheek sometimes treated instead of the fold?
In many cases, the nasolabial fold does not appear due to lack of volume in that area, but rather due to the descent of the mid-facial tissues, especially the cheekbone.
Therefore, treating the cheekbone can offer a more natural, harmonious, and long-lasting result than just filling the fold.
How many vials do I need?
Most patients need between 0.5 ml and 1 ml per side, although the exact amount depends on the depth of the fold, skin quality, and facial structure. The medical assessment will determine the necessary amount to achieve a balanced result.
What is better for deep folds: hyaluronic acid or thread lifts?
It depends on the origin of the fold.
If there is a loss of volume or facial support, hyaluronic acid is usually the first option.
If the problem is related to increased sagging or tissue descent, thread lifts may be indicated. In some cases, both treatments are combined to optimize the result.
Can the result last longer if the cheekbone is also treated?
Yes. When, in addition to the fold, the loss of cheekbone support is corrected, the results can last longer and offer an overall improvement of the face.
Does the treatment leave the face swollen or artificial?
When the treatment is performed with a complete facial assessment and an appropriate amount of product, the goal is to maintain a natural expression. Therefore, in many cases, the fold is not directly filled, but the cause that produces it is corrected first.
