Syringomas

Area of Concern

01

What Are Syringomas?

Syringomas are small, benign growths that develop from the sweat glands. They typically appear as tiny, flesh colored or slightly yellow bumps, most commonly around the eyes and upper cheeks. These lesions are harmless but can be persistent and noticeable due to their location. Many patients seek treatment for cosmetic reasons, especially when multiple lesions are present.

What Causes Syringomas?

Syringomas develop from an overgrowth of the ducts within eccrine sweat glands, leading to small, visible bumps on the skin. Genetics and hormonal factors may contribute to their formation, and they are often seen in clusters, particularly around the eyes. While the exact cause is not always clear, they represent a benign proliferation of normal skin structures rather than a harmful condition.

Treatment

Treating Syringomas at Aesthetic Solutions

Treatment for syringomas focuses on carefully removing or reducing the lesions while preserving the surrounding skin, particularly in delicate areas such as the lower eyelids.

Common approaches include precise ablation with an erbium laser or cautery using a hyfrecator, both of which allow for controlled treatment of these superficial growths.

Because syringomas can be multiple and located in sensitive areas, careful technique is essential to minimize the risk of scarring or pigment changes. Treatment is tailored based on the number, size, and location of the lesions to achieve the best cosmetic outcome.
