What Is Rhinophyma And How Is It Treated?
Rhinophyma is a condition that is typically seen in individuals who have rosacea. If rosacea goes untreated, the nose becomes redder, swollen at the end and appears bumpy. This swelling is because there is formation of scar-like tissue and the sebaceous glands get bigger.
Although rosacea affects women more than men, rhinophyma mainly affects fair-skinned men aged 50 to 70 years. Rhinophyma can occur as a more severe stage of rosacea. However, some people do have rhinophyma without having rosacea.
In most cases, Dr. Chernoff uses a C02 Laser to remove the overgrowth of oil glands which removes the rhinophyma. The results are immediate and permanent. Patients who have been treated for rhinophyma are extremely happy with their results.
In addition to removing the Rhinophyma, Dr. Chernoff may also use a multi-modality laser treatment in the office to improve the appearance of broken facial capillaries which will improve the appearance of redness.
During your consultation, Dr. Chernoff will explain the procedures, recovery, and expected results.
