Rhinophyma is a progressive, benign skin condition that affects the nose, leading to thickened skin, irregular surface texture, and enlargement. It is considered a subtype of rosacea and develops gradually over time. While medically not dangerous, rhinophyma can become a significant cosmetic and functional concern depending on its severity.
Rhinophyma develops as a result of chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling, most often in individuals with longstanding rosacea. Over time, repeated inflammatory activity leads to enlargement of sebaceous glands and thickening of the nasal skin. Genetics and vascular factors may influence who develops the condition, and it is observed more frequently in men. Because the changes are structural and progressive, early evaluation and management are important.
At Aesthetic Solutions we use ablative lasers to treat Rhinophyma, as this allows us to laser away the affected tissue while restoring a normal shape to the nose. By delivering energy deep into the skin, we can remove the Rhinophyma while causing minimal trauma to the surrounding healthy tissue.
