Sebaceous Hyperplasia: An Approach to Reduce Recurrence

If only the visible parts are improved, the underlying cause may remain.

Sebaceous hyperplasia occurs when sebaceous glands within the dermal layer abnormally enlarge or proliferate.

However, simply removing the lesions visible on the surface with a laser may have limitations in improvement.

This approach may seem to temporarily improve the appearance.

However, if the sebaceous glands themselves remain, the likelihood of lesions recurring increases.

We are approaching this issue from a different perspective.

We believe that addressing both the removal of visible parts and the underlying internal cause can help reduce the possibility of recurrence.

Our goal goes beyond simple symptom relief.

We pursue methods that improve both the root cause and the currently manifested symptoms.

For this approach, two different devices can be combined and utilized.

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

By directly delivering high-frequency thermal energy to the areas with sebaceous glands,

it can help selectively coagulate sebaceous glands and regulate their function.

Since an insulated micro-needle is used, the burden of damage to the epidermis and surrounding tissues can be reduced.

The goal is to deliver energy only to the desired sebaceous gland areas.

This can play an important role in managing the cause of sebaceous hyperplasia.

2. Erbium-YAG Laser (Er:YAG)

Compared to CO2 lasers, it allows for relatively precise depth control,

and can be used to delicately refine or remove raised lesions.

It can help reduce damage to surrounding tissues, thereby lowering the burden of recovery and the likelihood of scarring.

If necessary, it can be combined with a CO2 laser to manage relatively deep lesions.

This takes a different approach than simple surface removal procedures.

When using CO2 laser alone, it mainly focuses on removing surface lesions, so there may be a possibility of recurrence due to remaining sebaceous glands internally.

Our combined procedure can help regulate the function of the sebaceous glands themselves and improve surface lesions together, thereby reducing the possibility of recurrence.

Key Characteristics of Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Sebaceous hyperplasia,

may have limitations in management if only the surface is removed.

Managing both the visible manifestations and the internal causes simultaneously can help reduce the likelihood of recurrence.

Are you experiencing any of the following symptoms?

Small, round bumps observed around the forehead, cheeks, and nose

A shape where the center is slightly indented, appearing like a belly button

Appears similar to a common pimple but is difficult to extract

Does not disappear over time and remains, or gradually increases in number

These symptoms are not just simple skin troubles, but rather,

considering the possibility of *sebaceous hyperplasia*, a condition where sebaceous glands are excessively proliferated, it is advisable to consult with a specialist.
