WHAT IS THE BEST SKIN TREATMENT FOR SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASMIA?

We recommend that you book a skin assessment to determine exactly the skin package for your skin concern, however, the following is a popular skin plan outline for those who have sebaceous hyperplasmia.

To book a skin assessment, please book any skin treatment mentioned in the plan above. Then email us that you would like us to advise you of a course of action for your skin. We will do this at your first appointment with us.

What is Sebaceous Hyperplasmia?

Sebaceous hyperplasia generally occurs on the face, usually in patients after 40 years of age. It rarely occurs in younger individuals. The most common locations are the forehead and cheeks, as single or multiple nodule of skin cells. It is a proliferative abnormality of the sebaceous glands described as a benign condition consisting of prominently enlarged sebaceous glands on the face.

Sebaceous hyperplasia presents as single or multiple nodules on the face, especially in older people. The nodules are small, yellow–pink. There is no need for surgical excision. Diathermy achieves great results.

If you are unsure of what condition is present on your skin but it looks similar to the pictures shown on this page, please attend a doctor in advance of booking treatment to verify that the condition is Sebaceous hyperplasia. Once it has been diagnosed by your doctor diathermy can be performed.
