forehead wrinkles are easy they can fix them with botox.

nasolabials are near impossible to get rid of completely with existing methods.

nasolabials are near impossible

If they are in their early stages (can only be seen under certain down light angles and settings), they are fairly easy to get rid of. Prevention is always the best measure against causing these sorts of things, simultaneously it’s always better than a cure.

Nasolabial folds (smile lines) are most commonly caused by aging which slows down collagen production and facial volume is lost (less fat volume in certain areas). A great way to prevent this would of course be the basics (live a healthy lifestyle, gym, eat well, sleep, etc.) but you may also consider supplementing collagen which has substantial evidence (1) backing its claims.

There’s a variety of other methods to remove them as well (a simple Google search would suffice to bring you the results so I won’t cover them here).

Now, if your Nasolabial Folds are in there later stages and are already too severe for OTC treatment, surgery (which is in fact not that expensive) (methods include, but are not limited to, fillers, Botox, face lift, cheek lift, etc.) is a highly viable option with results that almost eliminate the folds completely. Please view the below for examples.

Again, it all depends on the severity of your case

I’d also argue that removing them 100% (especially if you are older) may look uncanny and misrepresentative of your age which is not the ideal look.

nasolabial folds usually aren't caused by ageing, most people have them from birth.

nor will anything you do prevent them, no matter how good your bone structure is, no matter how good your lifestyle, if you are genetically prone to it you will get them.

nor will supplementing 'collagen' do anything at all, because it's broken down entirely by the body, after which it has to produce it's own, and the rate at which that happens is unaffected by the supplementation, it's utter horse shit.

fillers are shit for the nasolabial fold and make the mid-face look puffy and undefined, the volume shift that causes them is below the eyes, not actually at the area itself, neither a face lift nor fillers will fix it, they'll just add volume that was never in your face to begin with, or stretch the fat accumulation side-ways even though the problem is below the eyes.

everyone is, that's why cosmetologist haven't been able to find a fix for them.

volume loss happens in the purple and green area, this volume sags down to the red area, when you get a facelift a line is cut at the yellow area, but all it does is stretch the fat to the blue area, most of the purple and green area remains fucked and the volume that accumulated in the fold doesn't go away so usually it doesn't even fix the fold anyway.

What about fat repositioning or there are certain midface lifts?
Also those nasolabial folds you are talking about can be removed with paranasal augmentation. Amongst all the features that exacerbate nasolabial folds, an absence of paranasal hollowing and a projected paranasal area, would be amongst the most important to fix.
