Non-Surgical Nose Treatments Sydney

Including Hiko Nose Threads – The Manse Clinic Sydney CBD & Paddington

Non-surgical nose treatments are a popular choice at The Manse Clinic Sydney. The nose plays an essential role in overall facial balance and harmony. Even subtle adjustments can refine proportion, smooth irregularities, and enhance definition — without surgery.

Our clinic also offers collagen-stimulating threads, such as Hiko-style nose threads, a non-surgical option designed to provide gentle lift and contour through collagen stimulation.

Why People Choose Non-Surgical Nose Treatments

The nose can be assessed and treated for two main purposes:

To enhance overall facial balance and symmetry
To address visible changes in shape or contour with age

Ageing and the Nose

As we age, structural changes occur in bone and soft tissue, including in the tip and bridge (radix). These changes may result in a softer nasal tip, subtle drooping, or reduced definition.
Our doctor-led treatments are designed to support balance and improve contour, helping the face appear more harmonious while maintaining a natural look.

Aesthetic Refinement of the Nose

Some people are born with well-defined nasal contours, while others prefer to refine shape or symmetry.
Non-surgical techniques can assist with smoother transitions and proportionate refinement of key features, such as:

Nasofrontal angle: transition between forehead and nose
Bridge height and width: influencing definition
Tip position and projection: balancing facial profile
Symmetry and contour: gentle improvements for natural shape

Concerns That May Be Addressed

Flat or low nasal bridge
Minor contour irregularities or asymmetry
Age-related drooping or softening
Post-surgical irregularities
Skin texture or surface changes

Your practitioner will create a tailored plan to suit your anatomy and goals.

Threads as an Alternative Option

For patients who prefer a different approach, collagen-stimulating threads (such as Hiko threads) can be used to support nasal definition.
Threads are placed beneath the skin to encourage collagen production and subtly refine shape over time. Your practitioner will determine whether threads, another approach, or a combination is most suitable.

Comfort During Treatment

Your comfort is important.
Options to enhance comfort may include:

Topical numbing cream (e.g. EMLA or LMX) applied 45 minutes before treatment
Local anaesthetic for thread procedures
Ice to reduce discomfort and bruising
Nitrous oxide (“happy gas”) for relaxation

During the Appointment

The area is cleansed with antiseptic solution.
Ice may be applied briefly before treatment.
The procedure is performed using a fine needle, cannula, or threads.
Gentle pressure with sterile gauze follows treatment.

Most appointments are brief, and patients can typically resume daily activities soon after.

Aftercare and Recovery

To support healing:

Avoid makeup for at least 4 hours
Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours
Avoid active skincare (acids, retinoids) for 24 hours
Avoid saunas, spas, and hot yoga for 1 week

Mild redness or swelling is normal and usually resolves within 2–3 days.
If mild asymmetry is noticed before your 4-week review, it is usually related to temporary swelling and settles naturally.

Possible Side Effects and Risks

As with all cosmetic procedures, risks are uncommon but possible. These may include:

Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising
Mild asymmetry
Infection (rare)
Vascular compromise (extremely rare)
Thread visibility if placed too superficially

Your practitioner will discuss all potential risks and safety protocols during your consultation.

Results and Longevity

Results are typically visible immediately and continue to refine as swelling resolves.
Longevity depends on factors such as metabolism, treatment type, and individual anatomy.
Patients who choose Hiko-style nose threads often maintain results with annual or biennial sessions.

Cost of Treatment

Treatment costs are per session.
In accordance with Australian regulations, detailed pricing can only be provided during consultation.
