Nasal Labial Fold Advice 35F
I just turned 35 and I am very upset with my nasal labial folds (see photo) to the point that I am seriously considering a mid-face lift. I have several consults booked, but I want to try some aggressive rounds of microneedling and RF microneedling first. I previously did one round of the CO2 Laser and am considering doing that as well. I need help laying out a treatment plan. I also plan to ramp up my retinol regime when I am not doing microneedling, but it is challenging to balance these treatments since you can't use retinol for a week prior or a week after these more aggressive treatments.
Has anyone else been in a similar boat? What exactly did you do? Here is what I am thinking... This treatment plan will take roughly 6 months and puts me at roughly June timing. Please share your feedback or opinions! Looking to be the most effective and efficient.
