At Doctor Edges, we offer advanced and personalized sebaceous hyperplasia removal procedures. Our skilled healthcare professionals employ state-of-the-art techniques, including electrosurgery, tailored to your specific needs. 

What is Sebaceous Hyperplasia? 

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a common skin condition characterized by enlarged oil glands, resulting in small, raised bumps on the skin's surface. While benign, these lesions can impact the complexion and overall skin aesthetics. 

How is sebaceous hyperplasia removal performed? 

Sebaceous hyperplasia removal is typically done through various methods, including laser therapy, electrosurgery, cryotherapy, or minor surgical procedures. The choice of method depends on the size and location of the lesions. 

Is sebaceous hyperplasia removal painful? 

The discomfort associated with sebaceous hyperplasia removal is generally minimal. Local anesthesia may be used to ensure a painless experience during the procedure. 

How long does the sebaceous hyperplasia removal procedure take? 

The duration of the procedure varies based on the number and size of sebaceous hyperplasia lesions being treated. In many cases, it can be completed in a single session at Doctor Edges. 

What are the potential side effects or downtime after sebaceous hyperplasia removal? 

Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or scabbing immediately after the procedure, but these side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. There may be minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities shortly after treatment. 

Can sebaceous hyperplasia come back after removal? 

While removal procedures effectively treat existing sebaceous hyperplasia, new lesions may develop over time. Regular skincare maintenance and follow-up appointments with a Doctor Edges dermatologist can help manage the condition. 

Are there any restrictions or post-procedure care instructions? 

Patients are usually provided with specific post-procedure care instructions, which include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and refraining from picking or touching the treated area during the healing process. 

Can sebaceous hyperplasia removal be done on all skin types? 

Yes, sebaceous hyperplasia removal procedures are generally suitable for all skin types. Your Doctor Edges dermatologist will assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate method based on your individual needs.
