Overview
The treatment of the nasolabial fold is one of the most frequently requested injections when trying to reduce the signs of facial aging. Both the midfacial bones and the midfacial soft tissues contribute to the formation of this fold. The deep needle technique for administering product into the pyriform fossa is one of the most challenging soft tissue filler-based techniques which require a profound understanding of the vascular anatomy of this region. In this video a comprehensive anatomic overview is provided along with an injection simulation of this technique to guide toward safer treatment outcomes.
