Sebaceous Hyperplasia and Syringoma: Fundamental Treatment for Permanent Improvement Without Recurrence

Sebaceous Hyperplasia: A Key Approach to Reducing Recurrence

Simply removing what's visible on the surface may leave the underlying cause untreated.

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a skin lesion caused by the abnormal enlargement of sebaceous glands in the dermis.

Most treatments commonly involve simply removing the externally visible lesion area with a laser.

While this method may appear to improve the condition immediately,

the underlying sebaceous gland itself remains, raising concerns about the lesion reappearing.

To overcome these limitations, we approach treatment from a different perspective.

By addressing the root cause internally while also treating the lesion's surface, we reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

We don't just treat the visible symptoms;

we pursue a treatment approach that simultaneously improves both the cause and the symptoms.

For this, we utilize two specialized devices together.

1. Potenza Agnes RF (Insulated Radiofrequency 1-pin Needle)

By directly delivering high-frequency thermal energy to the sebaceous gland area,

we can selectively remove excessively proliferated sebaceous glands.

Using an insulated micro-needle minimizes damage to the skin epidermis or surrounding healthy tissues,

precisely targeting only the sebaceous glands during treatment.

This is an important method for directly addressing the cause of the lesion.

2. Erbium YAG Laser (Er:YAG)

The Erbium YAG laser can precisely control the skin's depth during exfoliation, making it beneficial

for delicately removing lesions that protrude on the surface.

Its minimal tissue damage helps shorten recovery time and reduce the risk of scarring.

If necessary, CO2 laser can be combined to effectively remove lesions even in deeper areas.

There is a difference from treatments that simply remove lesions.

CO2 laser monotherapy primarily addresses the surface, but the sebaceous gland itself remains, which can lead to recurrence.

Our combined treatment focuses on destroying the sebaceous gland itself and refining surface lesions to suppress recurrence.

Key Symptoms of Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Sebaceous hyperplasia

may not be sufficiently treated by simply removing the visible parts.

Addressing both the external and internal aspects of the lesion can help reduce recurrence.

Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?

Small, round bumps are observed on the forehead, cheeks, and around the nose.

The center may be indented, sometimes resembling a belly button.

It may appear similar to acne, but no contents are expelled when squeezed.

It tends to persist for a long time without disappearing, or the number of lesions may increase over time.

These patterns are not just simple skin troubles,

but suggest the possibility of sebaceous hyperplasia, a condition where sebaceous glands are excessively proliferated.
