Smile/Sad Line Correction Treatments
Address and correct the signs of ageing
What is Smile/Sad lines?
Nasolabial folds or smile lines are lines that form from the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth. As they are associated with smiling where the lines form, factors such as ageing can cause the lines to become deeper and permanent.
Also known as Marionette lines, these refer to the facial creases extending downward from the corners of the mouth, giving the appearance of sadness or unhappiness. Symptoms of marionette lines include not just prominent downward lines from the mouth but also dry and dull-looking skin, along with a reduction in skin elasticity and firmness.
What causes Smile/Sad lines?
These lines can occur due to various factors. Here are some of the most common causes:
Ageing
Facial Expressions
Genetics
Sun Exposure
Loss of Moisture & Collagen

LESSEN THE PROMINENCE OF SMILE AND SAD LINES
WITH GLOWWIS TREATMENT OPTIONS
At Glowwis, our treatment options are designed to reduce the prominence of smile and sad lines. These treatments are tailored to diminish the appearance of these facial lines, offering a rejuvenated and youthful glow. Dr. Sam will guide you through personalised solutions, helping you achieve a smoother and more refreshed complexion.
DERMAL FILLERS
Injecting the targeted areas with dermal fillers that contain Hyaluronic Acid helps to add volume and hydration to the skin. Some dermal fillers can also increase the production of collagen to promote skin firmness and elasticity. Dr. Sam will design a bespoke treatment according to each patient's skin type and goals.
NEUROTOXIN (Botox)
Botox injections block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that provides signals to muscles to contract. This helps to prevent excessive muscle contractions which is the most common cause of facial lines, especially in areas with dynamic movements. The treatment is quick with minimal downtime.
COLLAGEN Skin BOOSTERS
Collagen is crucial for ensuring skin's firmness and elasticity. Injecting collagen skin boosters into the skin helps to stimulate collagen production which smoothens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially on areas with dynamic movements.
HYALURONIC ACID SKIN BOOSTERS
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) skin boosters are injected into the skin in a precise manner to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the targeted area. Before proceeding with this treatment, our doctor will perform a skin analysis to determine each patient's suitability.
HIFU
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) smoothens the appearance of smile and sad lines by delivering focused energy to create thermal coagulation points in the targeted tissues. This process stimulates collagen production which is essential for firmness and elasticity.
HIFU + MFU + RF
Combining different technologies for smile line correction, such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), MFU (Microfocused Ultrasound), and RF (Radiofrequency), can be part of a comprehensive approach to address various aspects of skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and overall facial rejuvenation. Each of these technologies works in a slightly different way but with the common goal of improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The combined treatment approach stimulates collagen production, contributing to the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
Other Ways to Reduce Smile/Sad Lines in Singapore
Thread Lift
Thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure in Singapore. The dissolvable threads help to lift, tighten the skin, and promote facial contours and firmness. While the lifting effect is immediate, the collagen stimulation continues over time, contributing to gradual improvements in the skin’s health and appearance.

Excessive alcohol consumption leads to dehydration and premature ageing. It is recommended to limit your intake to a small amount to prevent the deepening of lines.
