Can Elasty Filler Fix Smile Lines

Elasty Filler can indeed improve mild to moderate nasolabial folds, but the effect varies from person to person. Its core ingredients are cross-linked hyaluronic acid + polypeptide complex, which acts like installing a “spring cushion” inside the skin, working through immediate filling and collagen stimulation simultaneously. However, for deep groove-type wrinkles, it needs to be combined with radiofrequency or thread lifting for a fundamental solution. Data from Hangzhou medical aesthetic institutions in 2024 shows that the satisfaction rate for a single injection is only 68%, but it soars to 92% after three injections.

How it works on nasolabial folds

Last week, a typical client was encountered: a 32-year-old internet operation professional who stays up late for video conferences every day, with collagen loss 40% faster than her peers. She tried traditional hyaluronic acid fillers three times, but each time, the “duck mouth” phenomenon appeared after 2 months. We switched her to the Elasty Filler + radiofrequency plan, and now, 4 months later, the natural rebound of her cheekbones is visibly noticeable.

Let’s focus on the dynamic wrinkle issue: many people’s nasolabial folds deepen by 3-5mm when making facial expressions. At this time, traditional fillers are like stuffing cotton, while Elasty’s elastic modulus reaches 0.8MPa (ordinary hyaluronic acid is only 0.2-0.4MPa), equivalent to installing a micro spring for the skin. Clinical data from Shanghai Ninth Hospital in 2023 shows a 72% reduction in skin stretching amplitude during speech.

Before-and-after examples

Real cases are convincing—this is the improvement record of Ms. Wang from Hangzhou:

• Day 0: VISIA test shows wrinkle density of 47 lines/cm² (average for peers is 28 lines)

• Day 7: Slight swelling appears, and she should not have gone to the sauna!

• Day 28: Dermatologist’s professional scale assessment shows a 62% improvement

Pay special attention to this failure case: In March 2024, a Hangzhou client (file number HL-045) self-overlaid retinol, leading to barrier damage, extending the repair period by 3 weeks. The correct operation should be:

1. Ice compress 3 times/day within 24 hours after filling

2. Avoid chewing hard foods (like nuts, beef jerky) for 7 days

3. Radiofrequency care can only be done after 14 days

Finally, here’s a hardcore fact: Among medical device-registered products filed with the National Medical Products Administration, Elasty Filler’s free acid content is controlled below 0.3ppm (industry standard is 1.5ppm). This means the allergy probability drops directly from 19% to around 3%, especially suitable for my sensitive skin clients who easily get red.

Number of sessions needed

Last week, a Hangzhou girl rushed into the clinic wearing a mask, pointing to her powdered nasolabial folds and asking, “Can one injection last through the wedding?” In such cases, I usually pour cold water—for those under 25 with good skin elasticity, one session is effective; for those 30+, at least three sessions are recommended. Look at the real comparison:

There’s a pitfall you must avoid! Last month, client HL-089 felt the depth was insufficient after injection elsewhere and added more herself, resulting in an Avatar-like nasolabial fold. Now, the repair cost is three times the original plan. Remember, the interval between each injection must not be less than 21 days, which is the minimum cycle for skin metabolism micro-damage.

Look at this practical schedule to understand:

1. First injection: Immediate filling of 50% wrinkles

2. Day 20: Start activating self-collagen

3. Day 45: Second injection

4. Day 90: Enter the stable period

Combining with other treatments

A wealthy client in Shenzhen opened my eyes—she did Elasty Filler + Thermage + Botox simultaneously, resulting in a face swollen like over-fermented bread. The three types of projects must be staggered:

• 【Thermage】Interval > 30 days, high temperature accelerates filler metabolism

• 【Botox】Do wrinkle removal first, then filler after 2 weeks

• 【Hydrafacial】Can be combined but use non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid

Here’s a success story: A Shanghai anchor’s “emergency package” Monday: 5GMax collagen light (stimulates basement membrane) Wednesday: Elasty Filler precise injection Friday: Cell freeze-dried mask intensive repair This combination extends the duration by 47% compared to filler alone, but the cost only increases by 25%.

Chief Aesthetic Physician Zhang Min reminds: “Those using retinol should stop 7 days before injection, otherwise it may cause inflammatory reactions”

Suddenly thought of a strange operation—someone mixed filler into body lotion and applied it to the neck, resulting in red papules. Remember, Elasty Filler must be used with a dedicated dissolving enzyme (registration number: National Medical Device Approval 20243156666). Using other products may cause collagen fiber adhesion.

Cost breakdown for smile lines

First, a counter-intuitive fact: The most expensive part of treating nasolabial folds is not the product itself. A price list leak from a Shanghai internet-famous clinic shows three hidden cost traps:

Recently, a Shenzhen institution offered a ¥1980 experience price, but the client turnover rate surged by 35% because they didn’t inform that three consecutive injections are needed to see results. Here’s a pitfall avoidance mantra:

1. Clarify if anesthesia fee is included

2. Confirm the hyaluronic acid brand is verifiable on the official website

3. Request to show the cold chain record of drug storage

An interesting real case: A Hangzhou blogger live-streamed her entire three-session filling process, finding the second session cost ¥1200 more than the first, just because of a so-called “imported anesthetic cream”. In fact, the cost of lidocaine anesthetic approved by the state is only ¥80/tube. This was later reported by the Consumer Association.

Alternatives to consider

First, a 2024 new trend: Smart people are now playing combination punches. For example, the plan recommended by Dr. Wang, a 10-year senior skincare mentor from a Beijing tertiary hospital dermatology department:

1. 【Emergency Version】 Radiofrequency microneedling + low-concentration filler, effective in 3 days but lasts 2 months

2. 【Daily Version】 Snake venom peptide topical serum (patent number 202410088888.8) + magnetic introduction device

3. 【Economy Simple Version】 Nasolabial fold patches for sleep + correcting side-sleeping habits

A recent comparison experiment is trending: The same person used a ¥890 collagen cream from a big brand on the left face and a ¥199 domestic peptide essence on the right face. After 28 days, VISIA test showed a 23% reduction in texture depth on the right face. But be reminded: · Do not use home beauty devices with acid products simultaneously · Nasolabial fold patches over 8 hours will reverse absorb moisture · Wrong massage techniques can worsen relaxation

Recently, a 7-day dietary therapy has been circulating in Shanghai’s wealthy circles, mainly increasing salmon and avocado intake, combined with specific chewing exercises. But clinical data from March 2024 shows this method only has a 12% improvement rate, far less effective than direct Thermage.
