Nasolabial Filler (1 ml) in Turkey
Soften smile lines and restore a youthful mid-face, from £230 with no downtime and immediate results.
The nasolabial folds, the lines that run from the sides of your nose down to the corners of your mouth, are one of the first signs of ageing that people notice. Often called "smile lines" or "laugh lines," they can deepen over time and create a tired, drawn appearance even when you feel perfectly well. Nasolabial filler softens these lines quickly and effectively.
One millilitre of hyaluronic acid filler, strategically placed along the nasolabial folds, can make a noticeable difference. The treatment plumps the area from beneath, lifting the crease to create a smoother, more youthful mid-face. The effect is subtle and natural, you look refreshed, not "done."
In the UK, nasolabial filler typically costs between £250 and £450 for 1 ml. With The Health Store Turkey, your treatment starts from just £230 at a licensed clinic. The treatment takes around 15-20 minutes, and you can carry on with your day immediately.
What Is Nasolabial Filler (1 ml)?
Nasolabial filler is an injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid gel to soften the folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. These folds deepen naturally with age as volume is lost in the cheeks and mid-face, causing the overlying skin to sag and crease.
Why nasolabial folds deepen:
As you age, you lose fat, collagen, and bone volume in the mid-face area. The cheeks lose their youthful fullness and begin to descend, which deepens the crease at the nasolabial fold. Sun exposure, smoking, and genetics can accelerate this process.
How the filler works:
Hyaluronic acid gel is injected along or beneath the nasolabial fold, restoring the lost volume and lifting the crease. The filler physically plumps the tissue, smoothing the fold from within. The result is a softer, less pronounced line and a more youthful mid-face contour.
1 ml is typically sufficient to:
- Soften mild to moderate nasolabial folds
- Create a noticeable improvement in facial youthfulness
- Restore balance to the lower face
- Produce a natural-looking result without overfilling
For deeper folds or patients who want a more significant improvement, 2 ml may be recommended. Your practitioner will advise on the right amount during your consultation.
Results are visible immediately and last approximately 9-12 months. The filler is fully dissolvable at any time.
Am I Suitable?
Nasolabial filler may be right for you if:
- You have noticeable lines running from your nose to the corners of your mouth
- These folds make you look tired or older than you feel
- You want a quick, non-surgical improvement with no downtime
- You are over 18 and in good general health
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You have no known allergy to hyaluronic acid
Nasolabial filler is effective for mild to deep folds. In some cases, your practitioner may recommend treating the cheeks as well, adding volume to the cheeks can lift the mid-face and indirectly soften the nasolabial folds for a more comprehensive result.
Your practitioner will assess the depth of your folds and the surrounding facial structure during your free consultation to recommend the most effective approach.
What Happens During the Procedure?
Before Your Treatment
A free consultation, online, by phone, or in person, allows you to discuss your concerns. Your practitioner will assess the depth of your nasolabial folds and the overall volume of your mid-face.
Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and fish oil for 24-48 hours before your appointment.
During Your Treatment
At the licensed clinic, your practitioner cleanses the area and applies topical numbing cream. Premium fillers contain lidocaine for additional comfort.
Using a fine needle or cannula, the filler is injected along or beneath the nasolabial fold. Your practitioner works gradually, placing small amounts and assessing the improvement at each stage. The treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes.
After Your Treatment
The improvement is visible immediately. Mild swelling at the injection sites is normal and settles within 1-2 days. You can return to your normal activities straight away.
Avoid touching the area, strenuous exercise, and alcohol for 24 hours. The final result is visible within 1-2 weeks.
Recovery & Aftercare
Nasolabial filler requires no downtime.
Immediately after: Mild swelling along the nasolabial folds. The area may feel slightly firm. Small injection marks fade within hours.
First 24 hours: Avoid touching the area, exercise, alcohol, and extreme heat.
Days 1-3: Swelling resolves. The filler settles and integrates with your tissue.
Week 1-2: The final result is visible. The nasolabial folds are noticeably softer and less pronounced. Your face looks refreshed and more youthful.
Month 9-12: The filler gradually dissolves. Return for a top-up to maintain your results.
Risks & Considerations
Nasolabial filler has an excellent safety profile with experienced practitioners.
Common effects (mild and temporary):
- Mild swelling, resolves within 1-2 days
- Small marks or bruising, resolves within days
- Tenderness, resolves quickly
Less common:
- Lumpiness, rare, correctable through massage or dissolution
- Asymmetry, minor differences correctable at a follow-up
Rare:
- Vascular occlusion, extremely rare. The nasolabial area has important blood vessels, so experienced practitioner selection is important
- Allergic reaction, very rare
The filler is fully dissolvable with hyaluronidase if any concern arises.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nasolabial filler softens the folds rather than completely erasing them. Some degree of nasolabial fold is natural and its complete elimination can look unnatural. The goal is to reduce their depth so they no longer dominate your face or make you look tired. Most patients are delighted with the level of improvement, the folds are noticeably softer while the result looks completely natural.
For mild to moderate nasolabial folds, 1 ml typically provides a very good result. If your folds are deep or you want a more significant improvement, 2 ml may be more appropriate, allowing your practitioner to place filler along the full length of both folds. Your practitioner will assess the depth and advise on the right amount during your consultation.
In some cases, adding volume to the cheeks can lift the mid-face and indirectly soften the nasolabial folds. This can be a more natural-looking approach for patients with significant mid-face volume loss. Your practitioner may recommend cheek filler alone, nasolabial filler alone, or a combination of both, depending on the underlying cause of your nasolabial folds and your facial structure.
Nasolabial filler typically lasts 9-12 months. This area of the face moves frequently (talking, smiling, eating), which can affect longevity slightly. When the filler begins to dissolve, the change is gradual, your folds slowly return rather than reappearing suddenly. Most patients top up annually to maintain their result.
Yes. Nasolabial filler is commonly combined with cheek filler, lip filler, or Botox® during the same appointment. A combined approach can create a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your practitioner will advise on the most effective combination for your specific concerns during your consultation.
