Hyaluronic Acid for the Nose—Frequently Asked Questions

Nose hyaluronic acid treatment is an injection procedure in which a hyaluronic acid solution is injected into the nose to reshape the bridge and contour of the nose without making any incisions.

Hyaluronic acid injections for the nose are used when patients are concerned about the height of their nose, the bridge of their nose, unevenness, or the balance of their nose with the rest of their face. They can also be considered to make the unevenness caused by the hump on an aquiline nose less noticeable.

At YAYOI CLINIC, we primarily use Juvederm Vista® Volux XC from Allergan Aesthetics. We have selected this product for use on the nose due to its firmness, elasticity, and cohesiveness.

The tip of the nose contains many small blood vessels, so it is generally an area that requires special consideration regarding the risks associated with injections. At YAYOI CLINIC, we use a method that involves injecting into the “membranous nasal septum” rather than the tip of the nose itself.

Hyaluronic acid injections for the nose are administered using an ultra-fine needle after applying a local anesthetic. While pain sensitivity varies from person to person, at YAYOI CLINIC, we take care to minimize pain and discomfort during the procedure.

A hyaluronic acid nose treatment typically takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Additional time is required for the consultation and anesthesia.

Hyaluronic acid injections into the nose may cause redness, swelling, or bruising. At YAYOI CLINIC, we check your condition after the procedure and explain any precautions and aftercare instructions.

Yes. As long as there are no issues after the procedure, you can apply makeup and go home on the same day as your hyaluronic acid nose treatment. Depending on your skin type, you may experience some redness, but it will subside within a few days.

Nose Hyaluronic Acid 2.0 is YAYOI CLINIC’s hyaluronic acid treatment for the nose, based on the BIANCA Method, which takes into account the shape of the nose and its balance with the entire face when administering injections. It builds on traditional injection techniques to naturally refine the bridge of the nose while achieving a sophisticated nasal contour.

At YAYOI CLINIC, we generally recommend re-injection of hyaluronic acid for the nose every 1.5 to 2 years. However, the duration of results may vary from person to person depending on the product used and individual physiology. For more details, please see the “Hyaluronic Acid for the Nose” page.
