Sebaceous Hyperplasia: An Approach to Reduce Recurrence

If only visible lesions are treated, there is a possibility of recurrence.

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a skin condition that occurs when sebaceous glands in the dermis layer abnormally enlarge or multiply.

Some procedures may focus on removing surface lesions with a laser.

While such methods may offer temporary cosmetic improvement,

the underlying sebaceous glands themselves remain, leaving open the possibility of recurrence.

Our medical team considers a different approach to sebaceous hyperplasia.

We help reduce the possibility of recurrence by removing surface lesions and managing the underlying internal causes.

We aim not only to improve visible symptoms,

but also to manage their underlying causes.

To achieve this goal, we utilize two types of equipment together.

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

Through a micro-needle, high-frequency thermal energy is directly delivered to the area where sebaceous glands are located.

This selectively manages sebaceous gland cells.

By utilizing an insulated coated needle, the focus is on minimizing damage to the epidermis or surrounding skin tissues.

This method delivers concentrated energy to the problematic sebaceous glands.

It plays an important role in addressing the fundamental cause of sebaceous gland proliferation.

2. Erbium YAG Laser (Er:YAG)

The Erbium YAG laser has the characteristic of allowing precise depth control during skin resurfacing.

This allows for precise treatment of raised lesion areas.

With less burden on surrounding tissues, it can help facilitate relatively faster recovery and reduce the risk of scarring.

If necessary, a CO2 laser may be used in conjunction to increase the possibility of managing deeper lesions as well.

We aim for management that goes beyond just removing surface lesions.

It is important to consider that procedures that only remove visible surface parts may leave internal sebaceous glands intact, leading to recurrence.

Our combined procedure aims to manage sebaceous glands and refine surface lesions, thereby inhibiting the possibility of recurrence.

Key Characteristics of Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Regarding Sebaceous Hyperplasia,

methods that only remove the surface may have limitations.

It is expected that recurrence rates can be lowered when both visible lesions and internal causes are addressed.

Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?

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

They have a sunken center, resembling a navel.

They may look similar to acne or pimples, but no contents emerge when squeezed.

They do not disappear over time and may even increase in number or size.

These lesions may not be simple skin troubles or blemishes,

but could be *Sebaceous Hyperplasia*, caused by excessive proliferation of sebaceous glands.
