Is it possible to get rid of this line/vein thing on my nasal tip? (Photos)

Question

This random line on my nose showed up about 5yrs ago. Some days it’s hardly visible, other days it’s dark blue/purple and very prominent. I’ve never injured my nose nor have I had any plastic surgery. Are there any options/procedures to get rid of it that aren’t surgical? I’ve had chronic dizziness since childhood (33 now) so I’d also really like to avoid treatments that have the potential to cause or worsen dizziness if that’s possible.

Hi Orangegrape,
  Yes! It’s possible to get rid of that vein! However, you wouldn’t want to do sclerotherapy for it. Although sclerotherapy can be fantastic for the legs, décolletage, and backs of hands, doing it to the face is a big no no (could cause skin necrosis & potentially even blindness). 
  The way to treat your unwanted, visible facial vein would be best done with a vascular laser. I’d specifically use a vascular laser that targets hemoglobin like the v-beam laser. 
Hope this helps!
Dr. Kiripolsky

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
