Nasolabial folds
If it's something that bothers you, dermal filler can be used to treat the area, and, typically, a practitioner will use anywhere from 0.5ml to 2ml filler per side, depending on the individual and how deep the lines are.
Restylane is more granular, while Juvéderm is smoother. For this reason, Juvéderm is often used to address finer lines and wrinkles in tighter areas of the face such as the smile lines. Restylane – which stays in place better when injected – may be more adept at adding volume to sunken areas of the face.

The good news is that you can still smile after getting a nasolabial fold filler! The filler is injected into the folds, not the muscles that control your facial expressions, so it should not affect your ability to smile.
Nasolabial creases (dermal and epidermal defects) require a dermal filler injected into the upper or mid dermis for best results. Attempting to fill these creases with a deep dermal or subdermal injection may improve their contour but will not fill in the superficial dermal defect.
Restylane Refyne: is also formulated to move with facial expressions and is most commonly used for nasolabial folds and chin and jawline redefinition.

Side effects /risks with dermal fillers in the nasolabial folds: Bruising: occurs in a significant number of cases. Infection is a very rare complication, but always a possibility when the needle goes into the skin. Necrosis: (blood vessel being blocked, interfering with blood supply to the skin) is very rare.
How long does Nasolabial Filler take to settle? The final result is seen after 2- 3 weeks.

Patients who receive fillers for nasolabial folds experience plumping of the cheeks and the area around the mouth. The wrinkles spreading from the nose to the mouth won't disappear, but the treated area will be lifted and appear smoother, resulting in a more youthful look.
Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the mouth, but it cannot soften the deep folds in the nasolabial area. In this case, a volume-adding injectable like dermal fillers is often the better choice because it can fill the deep wrinkles and smoothen the skin.
Con: Potential Side Effects
Patients usually experience minor bruising for 24 hours to several days. Other symptoms include rashes, swelling, and potential infection. Over time, patients may feel the filler moving away from the desired area, or, although extremely rare, develop lumps under the skin.
The Good: Patients who experience strange side effects such as having a weird smile or a “Joker” smile after lip injections can rest assured knowing that this is a common side effect, as a result of swelling after the procedure. Wait up to a week before worrying about your weird smile.
