Microneedling for Nasolabial Folds and Smile Lines With Pylai Pen
How to microneedle nasolabial folds safely with Pylai Pen, plus massage and peptide combos for smoother smile lines.
Softer Smile Lines Without Going Overboard
Nasolabial folds are part structure, part skin quality. Microneedling with the Pylai Pen can soften the skin side of the story if you keep technique gentle and combine it with smart habits.
Depth and Zones
- Stay around 0.25–0.5 mm along the fold; skin is thinner near the nose.
- Cheek area beside the fold can handle 0.5–0.75 mm if thicker.
- Avoid directly over active acne or recent filler.
Step-by-Step Pass
- Disinfect, fresh cartridge, and map a small strip along each fold.
- Glide lightly upward and outward; then a short horizontal pass to crosshatch.
- Stop at a light blush—streaks or bleeding mean back off.
Add Massage and Peptides
- After healing (day 3–5), do gentle upward massage with a light oil or moisturizer.
- Peptide serums on off-days support collagen without sting.
- Keep retinol for nights when you are not freshly needled.
Expectations
- Week 1: Subtle plump feel from temporary swelling.
- Month 1–2: Skin texture around folds looks smoother; makeup creases less.
- Long term: Structural folds may need filler or energy devices—microneedling improves skin quality, not bone position.
Watch Outs
- Sun care is crucial; UV deepens lines faster than any pen can reverse.
- If you see new pigment or persistent redness, widen session gaps to 4–6 weeks and lower depth.
- Consult your injector before needling near recent filler to avoid disturbing placement.
Combine light, regular microneedling with daily sunscreen and massage, and those smile lines will look softer without heavy-handed tactics.
