Laser for Rhinophyma
With ablative lasers, we can safely reduce the appearance of rhinophyma and reshape the nose.
How does Laser for Rhinophyma work?
Rhinophyma is a skin disorder that causes the nose to enlarge and become red, bumpy, and bulbous. Rhinophyma is thought to result from untreated, severe rosacea. When left untreated, Rhinophyma can severely alter the shape of the nose. 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.
