Are you bothered by how much your nostrils flare outways, even when your face is relaxed? It’s common for people's nostrils to flare when smiling, however many of our patients find that even when they have a relaxed facial expression, their nostrils are flaring excessively.
Anti-wrinkle Injections can be used to help reduce the appearance of nostril flaring and can ultimately impact the shape of your face. Our skilled Doctors, Clinicians and Cosmetic Injector Nurses strategically inject anti-wrinkle into the muscles around the nostrils, which reduce the flaring and help create a slimmer facial look.
Cocoon Spa and Medical Aesthetics Adelaide offer a premium anti-wrinkle treatment to treat nostril flaring and provide a more rejuvenated and sifter facial aesthetic.
