Presentation:
Clients may be concerned for cosmetic reasons or may be worried
about possible malignancy. Lesions are usually described as asymptomatic, soft, discrete,
and yellow, with a surface that ranges from smooth to slightly verrucous. Clients may
report one or multiple lesions at various locations on the face. Lesions may become red and
irritated and bleed after scratching, shaving, or other trauma.
Treatment:
Sebaceous hyperplasia does not have to be treated. If you do opt to have it
treated however, there are a couple of options available. One of the least invasive
treatment options is to use specially formulated cream recommended by a dermatologist.
Topical treatments for this condition are different from that used for acne.
More aggressive treatment options may also be considered. Sebaceous hyperplasia may
be removed through cauterization, surgical excision or laser treatment. One other option
is cryosurgery. This involves the use of liquid nitrogen to freeze the papules. The frozen
papules will eventually slough off on their own after some time, revealing healed skin
underneath.
There is no stopping you from considering treatment for sebaceous hyperplasia. Like any
other condition though, it is often best to consider less invasive treatment options first. If
minimally invasive procedures have to be considered, you should carefully discuss your
options with your doctor. A major risk with treatment is scarring. You might be better off
waiting for the papules to disappear rather than risk getting scarred. You just have to
remember not to touch the papules to avoid irritation and the need for serious treatment.
Treatment with the Skin Classic is easy and very effective without all the invasive typical
medical interventions. These yellowish papules require the F-12 probe along with a power
setting of 30-40 intensity. The inheritant moisture (sebum) is drawn to the probe. This
technique is unique to all other minor irregularities. A static circular motion is described.
Upon proper identification of the lesion, the technician will visualize a clock, while
employing a small circular starting at 12 o’clock working counter clockwise until fully
around the papuale. In other words, find the highest point of the clogged pore and perform
tiny swirls around the summit of this bump. The idea is to liquefy the sebum and ultimately
own. The circular movements require a light touch almost like a hovering motion, with light
contact to the skin. You do not want to dimple the skin, this is an indication of too much
downward pressure. Remember to always get and maintain a solid stretch of the area being
treated. Post treatment with the Skin Classic is basic, do not disrupt the treated areas,
sometimes crusts will appear within 24-36 hrs., some clients may have a mild depression
form under the treated areas because the sebum has been removed, however within 7-10
days the crust should shed and final tissue healing will take place within the skin healing
cycle of 28-30 days. The client should abstain from any products that may irritate the skin
(acids) and always apply a moisturizer/sunscreen 2-3x day. Avoid direct sunlight and use a
gentle moisturizing cleanser for daily care.
