I am a 36 year old male. About a year ago I decided to use a Dermaroller on the bridge of my nose in attempt to improve an old scar from a laceration sustained when I was young. I have found that the Dermaroller caused damage which resulted in a couple crease like scars that have formed. I was wondering if there is any filler that could be used for these 2 creases much the same as filling fine lines or if Pixel treatment would be of any use.
Answer: Scars on the bridge of the nose - options
These are rather small but obviously bothersome for you and you can start with a limited chemical peel like the Obagi Blue Peel (perhaps get your whole face treated) and if this does not help reduce the scar, consider fractional laser which can be easily done several times over a course of 3 months. Consult a provider with expertise with both of these facial rejuvenation procedures.

Answer: Small scar treatment
Thanks for sharing the picture of the scars on the bridge of your nose. Although these are quite superficial, scars in this location tend to be a little more bound down than expected. Belotero could possibly work but only briefly and you certainly would not need an entire syringe. I would suggest regional treatment using erbium laser to sculpt down the margins of the scars and then switch to some deeper fractional resurfacing to break up the scar and encourage new collage formation. With that combo I think you will be able to virtually return the skin to normal appearance. Just don't let anyone get too aggressive and go overboard on treatment!
