Cosmetic Aesthetic: Hay Fever

ALLERGIES MANAGEMENT

Hay fever - also known as allergic rhinitis - is a condition triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen, house dust, animal fur, fungal spores, air pollutants and more. These allergens can lead to symptoms such as a blocked and runny nose, watery eyes, itchiness, sneezing, fatigue and sinus pain. For many individuals, hay fever may extend beyond seasonal discomfort and can affect sleep, concentration and overall quality of life.

Hay fever is a common condition in Australia, affecting millions of people each year. At BLANC Skin clinic in Perth, hay fever management is approached through an individualised, consultation-led treatment plan. During your consultation, our qualified cosmetic nurses will assess your symptoms, review your medical history and discuss previous treatments to determine whether clinically appropriate management options may be suitable for you.

All cosmetic and clinical procedures carry risks and results vary between individuals. A consultation is required to determine suitability.

BOOK A CONSULTATION

Hay fever management may involve the use of a prescription treatment administered into the nasal cavity under clinical supervision.

When applied, the treatment may assist in supporting the management of certain hay fever symptoms by influencing local processes associated with allergic responses and nasal gland activity. In some individuals, this may assist in reducing symptoms such as nasal irritation, sneezing and excessive nasal secretions.

The treatment does not cure allergic rhinitis. Instead, it may be considered as a supportive option for individuals who experience persistent symptoms despite the use of common treatments such as antihistamines, nasal sprays or eye drops.

Suitability, treatment technique and dosage are determined following a comprehensive clinical assessment. At BLANC Skin, treatments are performed by qualified cosmetic nurses who will discuss potential benefits, risks, recovery expectations and aftercare requirements during your consultation.

All clinical procedures carry potential risks and results vary between individuals.

Hay fever treatment may be considered for individuals experiencing persistent symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, particularly where common oral or topical treatments provide limited relief.

This treatment may assist in supporting the management of:

- Nasal congestion or blocked nose
- Frequent sneezing episodes
- Persistent runny nose
- Nasal irritation or inflammation
- Itchy or watery eyes associated with allergies

Treatment plans are tailored to individual symptoms, medical history and clinical assessment findings.

Suitability varies between individuals and is determined following a comprehensive consultation with our qualified cosmetic nurses.

BEFORE TREATMENT

A consultation is required prior to treatment. During this appointment, your cosmetic nurse will review your symptoms, relevant medical history and previous allergy treatments.

Your concerns and treatment goals will be discussed in detail to determine whether this approach may be appropriate for you.

Individualised pre-treatment guidance will be provided where necessary, including advice regarding the use of certain medications prior to your appointment.

DURING THE PROCEDURE

The treatment is administered intranasally by a qualified cosmetic nurse in a clinical setting.

A small amount of solution is carefully applied into the nasal cavity. Following administration, you may be asked to rest briefly to allow appropriate absorption.

Some individuals may notice temporary sensations in the nose such as mild tingling or irritation, which typically resolve shortly after treatment.

Procedure time is generally 10–15 minutes, although this may vary between individuals.

AFTERCARE & RECOVERY

Temporary nasal sensitivity, mild irritation or tingling may occur immediately following treatment.

You may be advised to avoid blowing your nose, vigorous exercise or certain activities for a short period following the procedure.

Recovery time varies between individuals. Most individuals resume usual daily activities shortly after treatment.

Your nurse will provide personalised post-treatment care instructions to support appropriate recovery.

RISKS & CONSIDERATIONS

Potential side effects may include temporary nasal irritation, tingling, mild discomfort or local sensitivity.

In rare cases, complications such as infection, allergic reaction or prolonged irritation may occur.

All clinical procedures carry potential risks. Individual responses vary and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. A thorough consultation is required prior to treatment to assess suitability and to discuss potential risks, expected recovery and any relevant considerations.

Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?

Hay fever treatment may be considered for individuals experiencing persistent or moderate allergic rhinitis symptoms.

This treatment may be appropriate for individuals who:

  • Experience seasonal or year-round hay fever symptoms
  • Have moderate or persistent allergy symptoms
  • Have not achieved sufficient symptom control with oral antihistamines or topical treatments
  • Are seeking additional options for symptom management following clinical assessment

  • Have experienced previous adverse reactions to similar treatments
  • Have certain medical conditions that require alternative management

These examples are not exhaustive. Suitability will be determined following comprehensive clinical evaluation.

Side effects may include temporary nasal irritation, tingling, mild discomfort or sensitivity.

More serious complications such as infection or allergic reaction are uncommon but can occur.

All risks and considerations will be discussed during consultation.

Clinical procedures carry risks and results vary between individuals.

Duration of symptom relief varies between individuals and may depend on factors such as allergy severity, environmental exposure and individual response to treatment.

Some individuals report improvements in hay fever symptoms for several months following treatment.

Where clinically appropriate, repeat treatment may be discussed as part of an ongoing management plan.

Your nurse will provide personalised guidance based on your symptoms and medical assessment.

Disclaimer: Longevity of results depends on individual health, environmental exposure and adherence to post-treatment care.

Most individuals report minimal discomfort during treatment.

Temporary sensations such as mild tingling or nasal sensitivity may occur shortly after administration but typically resolve quickly.

Your nurse will guide you throughout the procedure to support comfort.
