Nose Lift
(PDO Nose Threads / Hiko Nose Lift)

Subtle Lift, Natural Shape

At Equinox Beauty & Cosmetic Clinic, we understand that the shape of your nose can have a big impact on how you feel about your overall appearance. Some people seek small refinements for balance, while others want more definition without undergoing surgery.
With PDO nose threads (commonly known as a Hiko Nose Lift), we provide a non-surgical option for those looking to enhance nasal shape in a safe, gradual way. These threads are Class III medical devices, 100% bio-compatible, and naturally absorbed by the body over time, stimulating collagen for longer-term support.

About Nose Threads

PDO threads can be used to provide subtle refinement and definition to the nasal bridge or tip without surgery. The treatment may help with:

  • Lifting a droopy nasal tip
  • Improving the appearance of a bumpy bridge
  • Supporting a flatter nasal bridge
  • Adding projection for balance

Duration: Around 1 hour
Discomfort: Minimal with anaesthetic Down time: 24–48 hours
Longevity: 12–18 months (varies)

What to Expect

Process

After a thorough consultation, a local anaesthetic is applied for comfort. Using a fine cannula or micro-needle, PDO threads are placed beneath the skin to act as a supportive scaffold. These threads help lift, refine, and provide sharper definition to the nasal bridge and tip.

Risks and Side Effects

Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness. These are generally short-lived. More significant risks will be discussed during consultation, allowing you to make an informed decision.

Aftercare

Avoid touching or pressing the treated area
Refrain from wearing heavy glasses immediately after treatment
Avoid vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours
Do not undergo facials or saunas for 1 week
You will be provided with detailed aftercare to ensure optimal recovery and results.

Results

Initial lift and contouring are visible immediately after treatment, with continued improvement as collagen production increases. Results typically last 12–18 months, though this varies between individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hiko Nose Lift?

A Hiko Nose Lift is a non-surgical procedure that uses PDO (polydioxanone) threads to provide subtle lifting and contouring of the nasal bridge and tip. The threads are bio-compatible and gradually dissolve while stimulating collagen production. This can help refine the profile, add definition, and provide structural support without surgery. Results vary between individuals and are discussed in detail during consultation. At Equinox Clinic, treatments are performed by qualified practitioners who prioritise safety and natural-looking outcomes.

How does a PDO nose thread lift differ from surgery?

Unlike surgical rhinoplasty, which permanently alters bone or cartilage, a PDO nose lift is a temporary, minimally invasive procedure. Threads are carefully placed under the skin to create lift and support. This means there is no cutting, grafting, or extended downtime. While results are not permanent, they can last several months to over a year, and treatments can be repeated if desired. This approach appeals to people seeking definition and subtle changes without committing to surgery or recovery time.

Who is suitable for a Hiko Nose Lift?

This procedure may suit individuals who want to enhance nasal shape without surgery. It can be used to refine the bridge, support the tip, or provide subtle definition. It is not designed to reduce the size of the nose or correct major structural concerns. Suitability depends on your anatomy, expectations, and medical history. During consultation, your clinician will assess your needs and discuss safe options. The treatment is generally well tolerated, though it is not recommended for those with certain health conditions.

How long do results last?

Results from a Hiko Nose Lift are visible immediately due to the structural support of the threads. Over time, collagen production continues to enhance the effect. On average, results last between 12 and 18 months, though this may vary based on individual factors such as metabolism, skin quality, and lifestyle. Some people choose to maintain results with periodic repeat treatments. During consultation, your practitioner will give you a personalised plan, including advice on maintenance and what to expect long term.

What is the recovery process like?

Downtime is generally minimal compared to surgery, but mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur at the treatment site. These effects typically resolve within a few days. We recommend avoiding strenuous activity, facials, or pressure on the treated area during the initial recovery period. Most people can return to work or study the next day. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided to support safe healing and optimal results. Planning your appointment at least two weeks before important events is advisable.

Are there risks or side effects?

All medical procedures carry some risk. With PDO threads, possible side effects include swelling, redness, tenderness, or minor bruising. Rarely, threads may be visible under the skin or cause asymmetry. At Equinox, our practitioners explain these risks in full before treatment so you can make an informed decision. Safety is our highest priority, and treatments are performed by qualified professionals with extensive experience in aesthetic care. Careful consultation and follow-up help minimise risks and ensure you feel supported.

How many threads are needed for treatment?

The number of threads required varies depending on your anatomy and desired outcome. Some people may need only a few threads to refine the nasal bridge, while others require more for tip support or projection. During your consultation, your clinician will map out the areas being treated and advise on how many threads are appropriate. Each treatment plan is customised, with the aim of achieving subtle, natural-looking results that align with your expectations and facial balance.

Can a Hiko Nose Lift be combined with other treatments?

Yes, it can sometimes be combined with complementary procedures to achieve a balanced result. For example, clients may pair it with treatments that address skin quality, hydration, or fine lines. The suitability of combined treatments depends on your goals and overall health. At Equinox, we create individualised plans that consider both safety and aesthetic outcomes. This layered approach can provide more holistic results while maintaining a natural look and minimising downtime.

Why don't clinics show before-and-after nose photos?

In Australia, advertising rules set by the TGA and AHPRA prohibit the use of before-and-after photos for prescription or device-based treatments such as PDO nose threads. This regulation helps ensure clients make decisions based on professional consultation rather than promotional imagery. At Equinox, we follow these requirements closely. Instead of relying on photos, we provide thorough, personalised consultations where we discuss likely outcomes, risks, and aftercare. This approach helps you make informed decisions and ensures realistic expectations for your treatment journey.

When Will I See the Results and How Long Will the Results Last?

Results are immediately visible as the threads provide the scaffold for the nose. The results can last up to 12-18 months.
