>(1) I'm gathering dermarolling will help build up collagen in this area? Or in any area (like
>NL lines) with time, patience, and vitamins?I think the single needle is the best for the 11's:

Regarding the nasolabial fold:
Unfortunately, the nasolabial fold is not a wrinkle but it is caused by the facial structures (fat and muscles) dropping down:

>(2) Will using something like Frownies at night help at all or am I totally dreaming?Frownies are said to temporarily improve "expression lines" by applying a tight adhesive patch onto the wrinkle to prevent the muscle from moving - for example to prevent the muscle between the eyebrows to get into the frowning position. It is advised to keep the tape overnight. Frownies have lots of factual nonsense on their website. We looked at their before-and-after photo's and they are too tiny to be able to judge whether the "improvement" is due to a paintbrush in Photoshop or a real improvement. It looks Photoshopped and if the improvement was real, they would have published much, much larger pictures.
In any case, any wide Micropore Surgical Tape or other tight plaster will do the same job.
It is true that when we sleep in a certain position, we wake up with a "crumpled" face and taping your face overnight can possibly partially prevent it but if you have a boyfriend he may leave you for a girl who does not terrify him by sleeping with tape over her face.
They give these instructions to apply the pad:
"Moisten the back of the pad with Frownies Hydrator Spray and apply directly over the wrinkle."Another likely effect:
If you apply an adhesive pad on your skin for many hours or overnight, it will make the wrinkles temporarily less visible in the morning because the skin will slightly swell up due to increased moisture that forms under the pad. You'll notice the same effect when you stay in water for a long time. When you get out and look in the mirror, the face looks smoother because it is basically slightly plumped up by water. This effect unfortunately lasts very shortly.
>(3) Will facial exercises help in any way? I have a couple different systems (Flex Effect and
>Carol Maggio's Facercise) but honestly, I never saw the results. Maybe I wasn't consistent
>enough, I don't know. I gave it a good attempt for six months and then just became
>discouraged.This is really difficult to say. I have not heard many successful stories regarding facial exercise but I do not want to discourage anybody from trying. BTW during a face lift, the skin and the layer between the skin and the muscles is repositioned (pulled up) but not the muscles themselves (except the muscle on the neck).
>Thank you for any help... I feel I look like I'm scowling all the time and my last ditch
>consideration is Botox... If you feel that the muscles between your eyes are in permanent spasm – for example from long-term or frequent headaches or long-term stress etc. and that the muscles are now permanently in a frowning position, Botox will relax the muscle. Dermarolling twice a week with a 0.5 mm dermaroller or every second or third day with a 0.2 mm dermaroller will also relax the muscles to certain extent as it is a form of massage. You can also try the above mentioned tape method. First stretch the muscle with your fingers into the non-frowning position, and then tape it.
Botox will relax the muscle but it will not fill in the existing wrinkle in the skin. This has to be addressed by needling or rolling.
