Question

This has to be seen in person or photos, sometimes its botox and lasers that work for this and sometimes fillers are needed.  Best, Dr. Emer.

shany0702     Good day.  There are various causes of horizontal dark lines across your nose.  The most common are on the upper third and are due to a strong procerus muscle that can be corrected in mild cases with a neurotoxin injection like botox, xeomin or disport.  Sometimes this is not enough and injections  of a filler may be needed.  In the worst cases a browlift maybe needed.  If the horizontal line is in the lower third it may be due to allergy issues or a constant runny nose and drying that up along with treatment of the line is necessary.  Sometimes they are due to trauma.  Really, it all depends on your individual case. Please see a qualified plastic surgeon in your area to determine.  If you can, include a photo and that will help us to assess your line.  Good luck.

Depending on where the line is on your nose and what the color is would dictate what works best for you. If the line is higher on your nasal bridge inbetween your eyes then Botox may help you. If it is lower then that and depending on what color the line is you could have laser treatment performed to help you. If the line is red, you could use the pulse dye laser which targets the redness under your skin to help fade away your line. Stay Skintastic
