Treatment for dark horizontal line on nose? (Photo)

It looks like there is an actual crease or indentation that could be addressed with either a Juvederm or some type of filler that would lessen it being so noticeable.  You may want to try this, it's not permanent but if you like the results you can continue with it.  Best of Luck to you! 

Thank you for your question!There are a few options that are offered. These marks can be improved with a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling(RF/)/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a scarring expert. Best, Dr. Emer

This is a great question. You mentioned that you have allergies. A horizontal crease on the nose is a characteristic sign of allergies and is termed “allergic salute”. It is caused by upward rotation of the nose when wiping or rubbing to relieve the itching. The darkness may be Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or PIH. It will be important to stop the cause before treatment (treat the allergies  to stop the manipulation). Without that, attempts to soften the crease or fade the color will be  limited. 

Hi there thank you for your question. 
Treatment depends on what is causing the line. For example, it may be due to pigmentation or a physical hollow.
Dermal filler may be used to improve a physical hollow with careful placement of hyaluronic acid based product. 
Make sure you see a trained and highly experienced aesthetic practitioner for review of this. 
Hope this helps!

It is best to analyze what characteristics of this line make it more noticeable.  Treatments to lighten dark pigmentation include topical bleaching creams, chemical peeling, or laser resurfacing (fraxel or pulsed dye lasers).  The depression itself may create a shadow effect, making the skin look darker.  Filling in the depressed line with a hyaluronic acid filler such as Restylane or Juvederm, may help minimize visibility for a year or two and create a smoother skin surface that looks better.  Any of these treatments are worth a try, easy to go through, and should help.

This is a difficult line to “cure” but you definitely can work on it. Likely a combination of a soft filler to the area and Botox should improve it, and depending on your response, I would consider using Novathreads as well. All of these treatment will require some maintenance or repeat treatments to keep up the improvements.

Hi! First of all, make sure your allergies are appropriately controlled - we call this the allergic salute, related to rubbing your nose. Then I would suggest using a combination of topicals with lasers or chemical peels. I think you will get improvement with the correct approach! If there is pigmentation, hydroquinone and lasers can help. There also appears to be hypervascularity, which can be addressed with lasers. Collagen stimulation with microneedling + PRP injections or lasers will help smooth everything out!

I agree with what others have said about allergic salute . I would not use any fillers until you fix the cause by controlling allergies . What I did not see mentioned is that the darkness might be enhanced by sun exposure . You MUST use sunscreen on this all of the time if you have true dark line and not just shadow 

As the other doctors have said, I agree this is likely due to the repetitive nature of your allergies and a runny nose. 
First things first - I’d want to control the allergies so your nose isn’t running as much anymore. I am in Australia and routinely deal with patients with allergies and hay fever, whether seasonal or chronic due to multiple factors. 
There are many things that can be done to address this, with your PCP, or an allergist before addressing the issue of continually wiping your nose which is likely what has given you the crease. 
Being a person of colour, coupled with chronic wiping, dry irritated skin I suspect you have developed hyperpigmentation in this area, which is making the crease even more prominent. 
Once the allergies are under control, I’d be discussing how to mange the hyperpigmentation with a combination of methods such as a compound cream (preferably no hydroquinone for coloured skin), good sun care year around and skin needling to help take care of the pigmentation over time. 
You won’t get results immediately, but you should see improvement with time, patience and commitment. 

Hi there,
 Thanks for sharing this question.
 As you mentioned this lines are due to your allergy and rhinitis. they develop over the time due to constant cleaning of your runny nose with an upward movement of the nose tip with your hand.
 they are supper common and called "Salute sign".
 most importantly is to bring your allergy under control with desensitization injections and antihistamines. then you can ask for filler injection by a very experienced practitioner. this area is a high risk area and they need to discuss all the possible/Serious  SE of injection with you.
