Botox Treatment for Nasal Flare: An Overview

What are the Effects of Botox on Nasal Flare?

Botox for the nostrils works by inhibiting the movement of the muscles responsible for widening the nose, called the "nasal bridge" muscles. These muscles cause the nostrils to flare when you talk or laugh, and by reducing the movement of these muscles, the nostrils become smaller. When the nostrils shrink, the overall shape of the nose improves.

Treatment Methods for Improving Nasal Flare

Nasal Botox can be quite painful, so we use the thinnest 34-gauge needle for the procedure. We inject about 2 units of Botox per side from the peripheral area. The procedure only takes a few seconds, so many people choose to undergo it without anesthesia.

The Flow and Preparation of Botox Treatment

During the consultation, we will determine if Botox for the nostrils is suitable for you. If it is, you will sign a consent form and make the payment. After that, the area will be cooled, and the injection will take place.

Benefits and Risks of Botox Treatment

Benefits of Nasal Botox

One of the main benefits of nasal Botox is that it allows for easy, precise adjustments to the shape of the nose through an injection. Surgical procedures to change the shape of the nose tend to be expensive and involve longer downtimes, making them less accessible for many people. Nasal Botox has no downtime, requires only a small amount of Botox, and is relatively affordable. Offering this as an option will expand your choices.

Risks and Downsides to Know About

Since the muscles involved move when speaking or smiling, it can be difficult to see changes when you are not making facial expressions. Please confirm whether you are a suitable candidate for this treatment.

Understanding Side Effects

There are no significant side effects to be concerned about.

Typical Botox Costs

Booking and Treatment Flow

Please make a reservation online. Upon arrival, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire. If you complete the questionnaire beforehand at home, the process will be smoother. After the consultation, the treatment will be performed.

Injection Techniques for Nasal Botox

Injection Site and Technique

The Botox is injected into the nasal bridge muscles. We will ask you to move your nostrils to observe the muscle movement and decide where to stop the movement for the best results. The technique is not very difficult.

Effective Injection Areas

The most effective results are achieved by injecting Botox into the areas where the muscle movement is most pronounced.

The Importance of Treatment by a Specialist

Anyone who understands the anatomy of the muscles and the correct technique should be able to perform the injections.

Pain and Pain Management for Nasal Botox

Pain During the Procedure

Nasal Botox can be quite painful. However, since the procedure takes only a few seconds, most people choose to endure it without anesthesia.

Pain Reduction Tips

Cooling the area before and during the procedure can help reduce discomfort.

Post-Treatment Aftercare

No special aftercare is required.
