One of the most common problems in cosmetology is nasolabial folds. Everyone, regardless of age, can face such a defect. To improve the appearance of the face and restore elasticity to the skin, some use the services of cosmetologists and even plastic surgeons. However, there is a safer and at the same time effective way to solve the problem - patches for nasolabial folds.

Modern cosmetics are able to solve almost any external defect. The reasons why the folds in the lip area become pronounced can be different. In some, they can become noticeable after 18 years, in others only after 30-40 years.

Third-party factors also affect the appearance of folds: a lack of collagen, a decrease in elastin in the skin, unfavorable ecology, and much more. Over the past years, cosmetic patches designed for various areas of the face have been actively gaining popularity. Products for use in the area of ​​nasolabial folds are now on sale. High-quality cosmetics will show a positive result after the first application.

All cosmetic preparations used to solve the above problem, divided into the following groups, depending on the material.

According to experts, patches designed for the area around the eyes can be used to correct a cosmetic defect in the nasolabial triangle. Many products are very similar in composition and will have almost the same effect. In this case, remember that the effect of the pads will not be very effective, and the result will be more noticeable after application on the eyelids.

The skin in the area of ​​the nasolabial folds is very dense, due to which it differs from superficial and fine wrinkles. If the problem is serious, it will be possible to completely cope with it only with the help of special injections.

After removing the overlays the remains of the cosmetic product are not removed, but gently rubbed into the skin with patting movements. The frequency of use depends on the effectiveness of the product, however, the recommended rate is 2 times a week. For an effective result, stick to this system.
