Known as smile lines,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/foundation-tricks-mature-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> laugh lines<\/a> or nasolabial folds, these lines extend from either side of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/victoria-beckham-nose-contour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">nose<\/a> down to the corners of the mouth. But, facial expressions aren&#8217;t the only causative factor. &#8220;The loss of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/what-is-a-mid-facelift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">facial volume<\/a> that occurs with aging is a big culprit,&#8221; says Washington, D.C. dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/doctor\/alster\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tina Alster, MD<\/a>. &#8220;Essentially, the facial foundation sags and leads to development and deepening of the nasolabial folds. Facial volume loss can be caused by intrinsic aging, genetic predisposition, rapid <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/post-weight-loss-body-changes-and-treatments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">weight loss<\/a>, and certain medications.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other factors that can cause more pronounced nasolabial folds or laugh lines include smoking, environmental pollutants and sun exposure. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/what-is-uv-index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UV exposure<\/a> speeds up the aging process, leading to wrinkles and an uneven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/micro-dosing-botox-neurotoxin-benefits\/\">skin texture,&#8221;<\/a> adds <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Dallas dermatologist DiAnne Davis, MD. There&#8217;s a chance that one smile line may look deeper than the other as well. This tends to occur on the left side of the face, which is exposed to more sun while driving and can experience more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/what-is-collagen\/\">collagen<\/a> damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pickup-embed-pickup-prop pu-prop-embed\" data-pickup-prop-id=\"32603\"><section><a href=\"https:\/\/playpickup.com\/news\/newbeauty\/skin-care-ingredient-cant-live-without-32603\" rel=\"follow\" title=\"Skin-care ingredient you can't live without:  - Powered By PickUp\">Skin-care ingredient you can&#8217;t live without:  &#8211; Powered By PickUp<\/a><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So, which approach should you take if your smile lines drive you crazy every time you look in the mirror? Beverly Hills, CA dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/doctor\/shamban\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ava Shamban, MD<\/a> says it depends on their severity. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/tranexamic-acid-skin-care\/\">&#8220;Topical skin care<\/a> can help temporarily in many cases if the wrinkles are mild or moderate. If they extend from the corners of your nose to the corners of your mouth, then they are deeper. These will look like fully demarcated&nbsp;parentheses with resulting shadows around your mouth. In these cases, in-office procedures such as fillers and lasers will be necessary for a noticeable&nbsp;result.&#8221; Here are nine treatments to know about if smile lines or laugh lines are a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-home-skin-care-treatments-and-products-for-smile-lines\">At-Home Skin-Care Treatments and Products for Smile Lines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those people whose laugh lines fall on the more moderate-to mild side, Dr. Shamban says there are&nbsp;topicals that may help alone or in combination for temporary improvement. These are ones to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Acid-Based Products That Smooth and Plump<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A chemical or physical exfoliant, including combinations of alphahydroxy acids and betahydroxy acids will help smooth the area,&#8221; says Dr. Shamban. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/polyglutamic-acid-in-skin-care\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Polyglutamic acid<\/a> will infuse hydration to keep the skin plump and make the laugh lines less visible around the mouth.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-links.co\/1836486296700611188\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The INKEY List Polyglutamic Acid Hydrating Serum<\/a> ($15) is a good place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin C is also technically an acid, ascorbic acid. Dr. Davis recommends incorporating a good vitamin C product into your routine for not only collagen-boosting effects, but also antioxidant properties. Here is a comprehensive list of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/these-are-the-best-vitamin-c-serums-money-can-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the best vitamin C serums money can buy<\/a>, as recommended by dermatologists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Medical-Grade Silicone Patches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Medical-grade silicone patches can create an environment that helps skin retain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/tula-beauty-sleep-overnight-repair-treatment\/\">moisture<\/a>. This keeps the area hydrated and appearing plumper, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/victoria-beckham-augustinus-bader-power-glow-serum\/\">reducing the visible signs of fine lines<\/a> and wrinkles,&#8221; Dr. Shamban says. Two products we like are <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=31268X888966&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.siobeauty.com%2Fproducts%2Feye-smile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SiO Beauty Eye &amp; Smile Lift Patches<\/a> ($30) and <a href=\"https:\/\/howl.me\/cj3ggUpkt3L\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Frownies Corner of Eyes &amp; Mouth Wrinkle Patches<\/a> ($24).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10084-41D-AIR-RGB-26_E_Comm_Smile_Laura_120_16x9_454da64c-5a01-4d55-8916-1d25b40cd393-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-159992\" width=\"687\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10084-41D-AIR-RGB-26_E_Comm_Smile_Laura_120_16x9_454da64c-5a01-4d55-8916-1d25b40cd393-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10084-41D-AIR-RGB-26_E_Comm_Smile_Laura_120_16x9_454da64c-5a01-4d55-8916-1d25b40cd393-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/10084-41D-AIR-RGB-26_E_Comm_Smile_Laura_120_16x9_454da64c-5a01-4d55-8916-1d25b40cd393-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 687px) 100vw, 687px\" \/><figcaption><sub>SiO BEAUTY<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Microneedling Patches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Patches with&nbsp;micro-cones or &#8216;needles&#8217; infused with serum can give laugh lines a temporary boost and smoothing effect,&#8221; says Dr. Shamban. Look for those with ingredients like retinol, peptides and\/or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/polyglutamic-acid-foundation-hack\/\">polyglutamic acid<\/a>. We like <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=31268X888966&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fdepology.com%2Fproducts%2Fdeepcare-micro-dart-patches%3Fvariant%3D43299281207523\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">D\u0113pology Deepcare+ Serum-Infused Micro Dart Patches<\/a> ($72), which contain 1,000 micro-darts that penetrate the skin to deliver hyaluronic acid and argireline.

Products Containing Retinol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The best topical products to address smile lines are vitamin A derivatives,&#8221; says Salt Lake City facial plastic surgeon P. Daniel Ward, MD. &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/retinol-tips-for-sensitive-skin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Retinoids\/retinol<\/a> are the very best option, as they help smooth the look of lines and boost collagen and elastin. I like the <a href=\"https:\/\/formrxskincare.com\/collections\/anti-aging-collection\/products\/night-cream-retinol-1-vitamin-e-and-vitamin-c?variant=10645753757740\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FormRX skin-care line<\/a>, which is medical-grade and effective at treating this area topically. Always remember to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen when using retinol\u2014and even if you&#8217;re not\u2014as well,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wardinstitute.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Ward<\/a> shares. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beverly Hills, CA facial plastic surgeon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/doctor\/lee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Kimberly J. Lee, MD<\/a> adds that the reason why we get laugh lines is because we lose elasticity and collagen. This&nbsp;causes the skin and tissues to sag. Therefore, products that bolster collagen formation\u2014or slow its breakdown\u2014like retinol, can help delay this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Products Containing Peptides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You may recall seeing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/tiktok-homemade-botox\/\">viral &#8220;Botox Trick&#8221; on TikTok<\/a> back in 2021, which can help temporarily minimize the appearance of smile lines. The &#8220;trick&#8221; involves mixing a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop-links.co\/1836486735014747976\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-percent argireline<\/a> solution (argireline is a potent biomimetic&nbsp;peptide) and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/shop-links.co\/1836486771838291511\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">10-percent Matrixyl<\/a>, a peptide that has been shown to stimulate collagen production to create thicker dermal tissue over time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/are-parabens-dangerous\/\">&#8220;Cosmetic ingredients<\/a> like these can interact on some level at the synaptic junction and work well with injectable neuromodulators,&#8221; Dr. Shamban says. &#8220;This will help relax muscle contraction to improve lines.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In-Office Solutions for Laugh Lines That Deliver Longer-Lasting Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those in search of achieving visible results quickly, seek a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon for an in-office treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Hyaluronic Acid Fillers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last two decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/odette-annable-interview\/\">hyaluronic acid<\/a> (HA) fillers have become the material of choice for dermal correction in our soft tissue. This is based on their ability to produce immediate, predictable, and in most cases, natural\u2010appearing results in key areas of the face like the smile lines,&#8221; says Dr. Shamban. &#8220;Each brand has a product category with a range of HA filler options in terms of viscosity and density. And, when injected properly,&nbsp;they have exceptional outcomes with excellent safety and tolerability profiles for creases in this area.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My personal favorite line filler for the smile lines is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restylaneusa.com\/restylane\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Restylane<\/a>,&#8221; says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wardmd.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr. Ward<\/a>. &#8220;This is the first non-animal hyaluronic acid filler that was produced. It&#8217;s made of non animal\u2013based HA, and I still think it is the best one.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Shamban also loves another classic, <meta charset=\"utf-8\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.juvederm.com\/?cid=sem_goo_43700050673957006cid=sem_goo_43700050673957006&amp;cq_src=google_ads&amp;cq_cmp=8706725437&amp;cq_con=93026466372&amp;cq_term=juvederm&amp;cq_med=&amp;cq_plac=&amp;cq_net=g&amp;cq_pos=&amp;cq_plt=gp&amp;gclid=Cj0KCQjw8uOWBhDXARIsAOxKJ2F_JPJUNJ9FwTesyko83R9l_Hb0mgvfQs1twxaenKz1j3zGFxnINFUaAkY8EALw_wcB&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Juv\u00e9derm<\/a>, and two newer options, <a href=\"https:\/\/rhacollection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Revance RHA 3 and RHA 4<\/a>. \u201cRHA is particularly great in this area, and all dynamic areas of the face,&#8221; she says.&nbsp;&#8220;It uses a gentle manufacturing process with only a few chemical modifications. This results in a gel that closely mimics the natural HA found in one&#8217;s own skin. They also have a high &#8216;stretchability.&#8217; Think of it like a trampoline: a material with a spring that expands or stretches and has the ability to rebound with each smile or expression, keeping a natural look. RHA 3 can be used for moderate nasolabial&nbsp;folds, and RHA 4 is best for deeper folds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Lee says fillers have become extremely sophisticated over the past several years. &#8220;I prefer a natural look, so I favor fillers that have some elasticity. This accommodates for the dynamic movement of the mouth and laugh lines when talking, smiling or laughing,&#8221; she says. &#8220;I like Restylane <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restylaneusa.com\/restylane-refyne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Refyne<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restylaneusa.com\/restylane-defyne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Defyne<\/a> because they look natural and part of the face.&#8221; Rochester, NY dermatologist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/doctor\/loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lesley C. Loss, MD<\/a> favors Revance&#8217;s RHA 3, as well as Restylane Defyne. &#8220;These are great for the nasolabial folds because they are more dynamic. They&#8217;re not as stiff as some of the first-generation fillers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Biostimulatory Fillers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another group of fillers known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/ageless-beauty-dr-honet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">collagen biostimulators<\/a>\u2014they boost your body&#8217;s own collagen production\u2014provides longer-lasting results than hyaluronic acid fillers. &#8220;I like <a href=\"https:\/\/radiesse.com\/hcp\/professionals\/products\/radiesse-for-face\/smile-lines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Radiesse<\/a>, which is made of calcium hydroxyapatite gel and can be used to help erase more moderate smile lines, or even severe ones in some cases,&#8221; says Dr. Shamban.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Cheek\/Upper Face Fillers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Alster says fillers are best for prominent nasolabial folds, but some patients may benefit from injections elsewhere on the face. &#8220;Not just in the folds themselves, but more importantly, the upper portions of the face,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;If injections are only performed in the smile lines, the root cause\u2014volume loss\u2014will not be addressed, and the cosmetic result will not hold. It\u2019s like putting a new roof on a house foundation that isn\u2019t stable. The whole house will cave in.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Loss also finds that treating the cheek area and revolumizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/best-brow-treatments-products\/\">upper face<\/a> helps with the nasolabial creases. &#8220;Hyaluronic acid fillers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restylaneusa.com\/product\/restylane-lyft\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Restylane Lyft<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restylaneusa.com\/product\/restylane-contour\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Restylane Contour<\/a>, or even biostimulatory filler <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sculptrausa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sculptra<\/a> is great for the cheeks.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. CO2 Laser Treatments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I personally think there is nothing better for smile lines than a CO2 laser,&#8221; says Dr. Ward, who uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/candelamedical.com\/products\/co2re\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Candela CO2RE laser<\/a>. &#8220;CO2 laser treatments often take aggressive settings with multiple treatments, but they work amazingly well. They tighten the skin and also produce additional collagen to help reduce laugh lines and pigment in these areas.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Microneedling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newbeauty.com\/rf-microneedling-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Radio-frequency microneedling<\/a> is another noninvasive option for improving the appearance of smile lines.
