As we age, our faces tell the story of our lives – laughter, expression, experience. But sometimes, the deeper folds that appear between the nose and mouth (known as nasolabial folds) can make us look more tired than we feel.
At Ametrine Newcastle, we understand that these changes are entirely natural, yet how they make you feel matters too. That’s why we take a restorative, rather than corrective, approach to softening them.
Let’s explore why these lines appear, and how carefully placed midface fillers can bring balance and lift back to your features.
Understanding the Cause: What’s Really Happening Beneath the Skin
Ageing isn’t just about what we see on the surface. It’s a gradual, layered process involving the skin, fat pads, muscles, and even bone structure.
1. Bone Structure Changes
Over time, the facial skeleton subtly reshapes. Bone resorption (or shrinkage) happens around key areas such as the eye sockets, upper jaw, and chin. Around the nose, this loss creates a hollow (the piriform fossa) which allows the skin and soft tissue to sink inwards, deepening the folds around the mouth.
2. Fat Pad Movement
In the midface, the soft fat pads that once gave youthful volume and lift begin to deflate and migrate downwards. This descent adds to the shadow and depth of nasolabial folds, leaving the cheeks looking flatter and less supported.
3. Soft Tissue & Ligament Changes
As facial ligaments loosen and skin elasticity reduces, support from within diminishes. The result is not just a line — but a visible loss of structure that can make the face appear drawn or tired.
Why Treating the Midface Matters
It’s tempting to focus solely on the lines themselves — but filling the fold directly can often make it appear heavier.
At Ametrine, our approach starts above the problem. By restoring volume in the midface, we lift and support the surrounding structures naturally. This brings subtle lift, balance, and rejuvenation, without distorting your features or changing your natural expression.
It’s not about “chasing lines.” It’s about rebuilding harmony.
How Midface Fillers Work
Using advanced hyaluronic acid fillers, we strategically restore volume to areas of the cheek that have lost lift and density. This approach:
- Gently elevates the midface, reducing the depth of nose-to-mouth lines
- Supports and reshapes the natural contours of the face
- Enhances light reflection for a more rested, refreshed appearance
The result? A softer, more balanced look that still feels entirely you.
Our Philosophy: Treat the Cause, Not Just the Symptom
True rejuvenation goes beyond the surface. Every face tells its own story…and that’s where we start.
During your consultation, we’ll assess your individual anatomy and create a personalised treatment plan that restores volume where it’s needed most. For some, this may include subtle cheek support. For others, combining midface filler with skin treatments (like Polynucleotides or Sculptra) enhances long-term results.
Our goal is simple: natural lift, renewed confidence, and facial harmony that never feels overdone.
