The two most common problems found in the nose area are "bunny lines" and naso - labial folds.

Bunny lines are the fine lines along the bridge of the nose, which are the result of squinting and the wrinkling of our noses.

Naso-labial folds, which are the often quite prominent, are the ridges or edges that appear from the base of the nose, and run out to the angle of the mouth.

Treatment

These ageing lines and folds are best treated with a combination of Injectable Muscle Relaxants to arrest excessive wrinkle causing movement, and with Injectable Dermal Filler to plump out static lines (lines present when the face is at rest) leaving a smooth and fresh appearance.

How do Injectable Muscle Relaxants work?
The Muscle Relaxant Injections cause the injected muscles to "relax" so that they no longer contract (squeezing out tiny amounts of precious collagen and hyaluronic acid) and cause lines and wrinkles to form. Muscle relaxant injections also block nerve impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial muscles that are directly related to expression lines. After treatment, the skin overlying the treated area becomes smooth and unwrinkled. The muscles that went untreated contract as usual and leave normal facial expressions unaffected.

Cost: On average, Injectable muscle relaxant treatments cost $350

How do Injectable Dermal Fillers work?
Dermal fillers are injected into the skin in tiny amounts - using an ultra fine needle. Dr.Bakaric may massage your skin gently to optimize contouring of the gel. This treatment works in 2 ways: once injected into the "mid to deep dermis" (middle layer of skin), the dermal filler gel adds volume and fullness which smoothes out facial wrinkles and folds. Then, the gel integrates into dermal tissue, attracts and binds to water molecules and helps to maintain volume.

Injectable dermal filler is made from the body's own material "hylauronic acid or collagen" and provide instantaneous, long-lasting natural enhancement

Cost: Injectable Dermal Fillers start at $300 per treatment
