How Does Botox® for Nasal Flaring Work?
At PRICK’D Med Spa, your Botox® treatment for nasal flaring starts with a personalized consultation. We’ll assess the movement of the muscles around your nose—specifically the dilator naris, the muscle responsible for nostril flaring. Our skilled practitioner injects small doses of Botox® into the targeted muscle using a tiny needle to relax its activity.
The entire treatment takes about 10 to 15 minutes. As the muscle becomes less active over the next few days, you’ll notice your nostrils remain more controlled and relaxed during facial expressions. This subtle enhancement allows you to retain your natural charm with more facial harmony and confidence. Most patients enjoy the results for three to four months and return for maintenance sessions as needed.
