• Are in need of correction of minor post-surgical rhinoplasty irregularities
• Are interested in non-surgical procedures

Not suitable for:

• Major reduction of the nose (surgical rhinoplasty is the indicated procedure)

• Produces only temporary effects
• May not be as effective as surgical rhinoplasty
