Similar to most other parts of the face, as we age, the tip of our nose may start to droop. Our patients find that having a droopy nose can impact their self-esteem, but they refuse to undergo cosmetic surgery to have it improved.
Anti-wrinkle injections can be used in conjunction with dermal filler to add volume (filler) and lift (anti-wrinkle) the tip of the nose to achieve a non-surgical rhinoplasty. Our skilled Doctors, Clinicians and Cosmetic Injector Nurses strategically inject anti-wrinkle treatment into the muscle that is pulling down the tip of the nose, and once that muscle relaxes, the tip of the nose will lift again.
Cocoon Spa and Medical Aesthetics Adelaide offer a premium anti-wrinkle treatment to help you achieve that “pixie nose” look that everyone is obsessed with at the moment.
