A localized depression on the tip of the nose or a slight asymmetry can be treated by medical rhinoplasty. The tip of the nose lacking projection or descending may also benefit from an injection at the base of the columella, in order to open the angle between the upper lip and the tip of the nose. The tip of the nose is thus "raised".

Unlike "classic" surgical rhinoplasty where the hump of the nose is removed, a moderate hump of the back of the nose can be corrected by an injection of hyaluronic acid on either side of the hump so that it is considerably reduced.

Outpatient most often, with discharge from the clinic the same evening as the operation.

Lipofilling is most often performed under deep local anesthesia with tranquilizers. In some cases, a general anaesthesia is proposed.

Q: The hollow of the back of the nose

A slight hollow on the back of the nose called saddle nose or "saddle nose" can be filled by medical rhinoplasty. This aspect is sometimes regained after a first rhinoplasty where the hump of the nose has been removed in excess.

Q: Who is the medicalized hair removal laser intended for and what are the contraindications ?

Q: Why is it necessary to consider several Laser hair removal sessions?

Only the hairs in the growth phase - therefore connected to the bulb - will be permanently destroyed during the session. The other hairs will be destroyed, but their bulb can theoretically recreate a hair a few months later. In the resting phase and when the hair is mature, i.e. ready to fall out, the laser is totally ineffective. It is therefore necessary to repeat the sessions (4 to 8 sessions in total depending on the area) at a rate of about one session every 4 to 6 weeks. The hair removal obtained is total and definitive. Some patients may then need, depending on their hair capital, to have one session per year to maintain the effectiveness. Please note that you will see an important result from the first session: hair regrowth is almost non-existent 8 to 10 weeks after the first session.

Q: When are the results visible and how long do they last ?

The results are immediately visible but definitive after a few days, until the minimal oedema (swelling) has subsided. They last about 8 to 12 months.
