Soften laugh lines and refresh your smile with targeted nasolabial fold treatments.
With gentle, precision-based treatments using Bocouture, our expert aesthetic team helps soften these lines for a fresher, more rested appearance – while preserving the warmth and character in your smile
What Are Nasolabial Folds?
At Hampshire Dental Care, we offer bespoke non-surgical treatments to help restore youthful balance to your features – without changing who you are. One of the most common concerns we address is the appearance of smile lines, also known as laugh lines or nasolabial folds. These creases form between the sides of your nose and the corners of your mouth, becoming deeper over time due to age, facial movement, and reduced skin elasticity.
Nasolabial folds are the natural indentation lines that run from the nose to the mouth. They are caused by:
- Repeated smiling or laughing
- Gradual volume loss in the mid-face
- Sun exposure, lifestyle, and ageing
- Skin losing elasticity and collagen over time
Although laugh lines are a natural part of expression, deeper folds may create a tired or aged appearance, even when you're feeling your best.
Our Treatment Approach
We offer non-invasive treatment using Bocouture – a purified form of botulinum toxin – that works to gently reduce muscle activity around the mid-face area. This softens the pull on the skin that contributes to pronounced smile lines, offering a subtle lift and smoothing effect.
For clients with more volume loss in the cheeks or lower face, we may also recommend dermal fillers (e.g., Juvederm or Teoxane) in conjunction with Bocouture for optimal contouring and lift.
Why Use Bocouture for Laugh Lines?
- Subtle, natural-looking smoothing – without a “frozen” look
- Helps reduce muscle tension contributing to fold formation
- Excellent for first-time clients or those seeking preventative care
- No complexing proteins, making it less likely to build resistance

Frequently Asked Questions
Will Bocouture make my smile look unnatural?
No. Our approach is subtle and natural-looking. We aim to soften the appearance of laugh lines without interfering with your natural facial expressions. You’ll still be able to smile and speak normally—just with a smoother, fresher appearance.
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort is minimal. We use fine needles and may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort during the procedure. Most patients find the treatment quick and well-tolerated.
Is there downtime?
There is minimal to no downtime. You might experience slight redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection site, but these usually subside within a few hours. You can return to your normal activities the same day.
Who is suitable for this treatment?
Most adults looking to reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds are suitable candidates. We’ll assess your facial anatomy, skin type, and goals during your consultation to recommend the most effective treatment.
Can I combine nasal line treatment with other procedures?
Yes! Many patients combine nasal line treatments with forehead wrinkle injections, cheek fillers, or skin boosters for a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan. We can advise you during your consultation.
