WHAT IS BOTOX FOR THE NOSE?

DEFINITION OF BOTULINUM TOXIN AND MECHANISM OF ACTION

Botox, or botulinum toxin, has been used for more than twenty years in the pharmaceutical industry. aesthetic medicine. The principle is simple: it temporarily relaxes overactive muscles. Injected into the nose level, It acts as a muscle modulator, blocking nerve transmission between the nerve and the muscle. As a result, the contractions responsible for blemishes are reduced, helping to improve shape or smooth out certain wrinkles.

NOSE MUSCLES TARGETED BY BOTOX: UNDERSTANDING THEIR ROLE AND ACTION

The effectiveness of Botulinum toxin depends on a detailed knowledge of facial anatomy, which is why injections cannot be placed in just any hands. The nose is a dynamic zone in constant interaction with the mouth, lips and smile.

The main muscles are :

• The depressor muscle of the nasal septum (depressor septi nasi): it pulls the nose tip downwards, creating a “plunging nose” appearance, particularly when smiling.
• The elevator muscle of the nose wing and upper lip (levator labii superioris alaeque nasi): when too active, it lifts the lip and excessively exposes the gums (gingival smile).
• Lateral nasal muscles (nasalis): responsible for the famous bunny lines, These oblique wrinkles are visible on the sides of the nose when we smile or wrinkle our face.
• Interactions with the perioral muscles lip orbicularis and smile muscles. If this group is too contractile, it accentuates asymmetries and can aggravate tip sagging.

This is why a aesthetic doctor always observes the face at rest and in motion before deciding on injection points.

TO CORRECT THE TIP OF THE NOSE

Drooping nose tip

The drooping tip, also known as the “plunging nose”, is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation. This phenomenon can have two origins anatomical predisposition, when the depressor muscle of the nasal septum exerts a permanent downward pull, or the’age, which leads to a weakening of the supporting cartilage. In both cases, the result is often unpleasant: with each smile, the tip sinks, accentuating the impression of a tired face.
