Introduction

In general, wide alae can be improved through methods such as makeup and massage. With makeup, you can use the principle of light and shadow—applying darker shades on both sides of the alae and highlighting the bridge of the nose—to create a visual effect that makes the nostrils appear narrower. For massage, gently pinch the sides of the alae with your index finger and thumb, then lift upward, holding each time for 3–5 seconds, and repeat 10–15 times.

In general, broad alae (nasal wings) can be improved through makeup, massage, and other methods. Makeup utilizes the principle of light and shadow by applying contouring shades on both sides of the alae and highlighting the nasal bridge to create a visual effect of narrower nostrils. For massage, gently pinch the sides of the alae with your index finger and thumb, then lift upward, holding each time for 3–5 seconds, repeating 10–15 times, and performing this 2–3 times daily. If these methods are ineffective, more advanced options such as hyaluronic acid injections, injectable botulinum toxin type A, fractional laser treatment, or alar base reduction surgery may be considered.

If you are considering narrowing your alae, it is recommended to visit a reputable medical facility for evaluation and consult with a doctor to choose the most suitable method for your individual needs.

Analysis of Alar Reduction Methods:

Improvement Method	Hyaluronic Acid Injection	Injectable Botulinum Toxin Type A	Fractional Laser	Alar Base Reduction Surgery
Example Image
Mechanism	Stimulates collagen production in the body to improve alar contour	Blocks neuromuscular transmission, causing muscle atrophy and improving alar appearance	Laser stimulates collagen regeneration in the alae, tightening nasal tissue	Surgical incisions made inside the nostrils or along the outer edges of the alae to remove excess tissue
Advantages	1. Convenient procedure 2. Provides some skin hydration benefits	1. Noticeable results 2. Enhances symmetry of the alae	1. No downtime required 2. Minimal invasiveness	1. Significant and lasting results 2. Well-established surgical technique
Potential Risks	1. Risk of vision loss 2. Possible hematoma formation	May cause localized swelling	1. Risk of infection 2. Possible skin burns	1. Improper technique may lead to nasal deformity 2. Risk of infection
Duration of Results	6–12 months	2–5 years	1–2 years	10–15 years
Reference Price	2,000–6,000 RMB per session	1,000–5,000 RMB per session	6,000–8,000 RMB per session	4,000–8,000 RMB per session

What does viral CT value mean?

Under normal circumstances, the viral Ct value is a key indicator in nucleic acid testing used to determine the presence of virus in a sample. It primarily reflects the concentration of viral nucleic acids in the sample, with lower values indicating higher viral loads—there is an inverse relationship between the Ct value and viral quantity. It should be noted that the Ct value is only one of several testing parameters; comprehensive interpretation should also consider factors such as sampling method and timing of testing. Standardized sampling and testing procedures can improve the accuracy of Ct value results.

What is interferon used for in anaerobic bacteria?

Interferon does not directly exert bactericidal effects against anaerobic bacteria. It is primarily used as an adjunctive therapy for conditions associated with anaerobic infections, with the main goal of enhancing the body's own anti-infective capacity and supporting overall treatment efficacy. It should be clearly understood that interferon serves only as an auxiliary treatment method and absolutely cannot replace the central role of antibiotics. Its use must strictly follow established medication guidelines.

My mother-in-law has been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Is this illness contagious to family members?

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is caused by prions and primarily spreads through contact with central nervous system tissues of infected individuals, such as brain or spinal cord tissue, or via contaminated medical instruments. The risk of infection during daily cohabitation—such as sharing utensils, casual conversation, or hugging—is extremely low if there is no contact with the patient's bodily fluids (e.g., blood, cerebrospinal fluid) or contaminated objects; therefore, excessive concern is unnecessary.
