As we age, creases around the mouth become a lot more noticeable due to the fat pockets depleting, as they become deeper than before. Another name for these lines is the nasolabial lines, which tend to appear from the side of the nose downwards to the side of the mouth. Dermal fillers are used to fill these smile lines, to help soften the appearance of these lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers include hydronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance.
