Treatment for Sebum Gland Hyperplasia and Syringoma Recurrence Management

Sebaceous Hyperplasia: An In-depth Approach to Recurrence Management

If only superficial lesions are treated, the underlying causes may remain.

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a condition characterized by the excessive enlargement or proliferation of sebaceous glands within the dermal layer of the skin.

However, some treatments tend to focus on using lasers to simply shave off the outwardly visible lesions.

While such methods may improve the immediately visible areas,

the fundamental sebaceous glands themselves remain, increasing the likelihood of lesions reappearing.

At our clinic, we employ a more systematic approach to sebaceous hyperplasia.

We aim to reduce the risk of recurrence by removing superficial lesions while simultaneously addressing the internal causes.

Beyond simply improving outwardly visible symptoms,

we pursue treatments that simultaneously manage both the causes and symptoms of sebaceous hyperplasia.

To achieve this, we utilize two specialized devices in conjunction.

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

By directly delivering high-frequency thermal energy to the area where the sebaceous glands are located,

we can selectively coagulate the sebaceous glands.

Because an insulated micro-needle is used, it reduces the risk of damage to the epidermal layer or surrounding tissues,

allowing for precise energy delivery targeting the sebaceous glands.

This process is a crucial step in addressing the root cause of sebaceous hyperplasia.

2. Er:YAG Laser (Erbium YAG)

The Er:YAG laser allows for more precise skin surface ablation,

helping to delicately remove raised lesions.

With relatively less tissue damage, it can reduce the burden of recovery time and lower the possibility of scarring.

In some cases, a CO2 laser may be used in conjunction to manage even deeper lesions.

Our approach differs from simple lesion removal procedures.

CO2 laser ablation alone only treats the surface, leaving the sebaceous glands intact, which can lead to recurrence.

However, Kkeut Korean Medicine Clinic's combined treatment addresses the sebaceous glands themselves and tidies up surface lesions, which can help inhibit recurrence.

General Characteristics of Sebaceous Hyperplasia

What is Sebaceous Hyperplasia?

Treatments that merely remove the outward appearance may have limitations.

To reduce the possibility of recurrence, an approach that considers both the surface and the underlying issues is necessary.

Are you observing any of the following symptoms?

Small, round bumps appearing on the forehead, cheeks, or around the nose

Navel-shaped lesions with a slight central indentation

May resemble common pimples but cannot be extracted

Persisting for a long time without disappearing, or gradually increasing in number

These symptoms may not simply be common skin troubles or blemishes.

There is a possibility that these are indicative of *피지선 증식증(Sebaceous Hyperplasia)*, a condition caused by the excessive proliferation of sebaceous glands.
