Sharon explains Sebaceous Hyperplasia

April 23, 2025

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a common and harmless skin condition that appears as small, soft, yellowish or flesh colored bumps, usually on the face, particularly the forehead, cheeks, and nose. These bumps are caused by enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands and often have a central indentation or pore like opening.

They are more common in middle aged and older adults, and while they’re benign, many people seek treatment for cosmetic reasons.

Sharon treatment of choice is with the Fotona Dynamis Laser:

The Fotona Dynamis laser is an excellent non-invasive treatment for sebaceous hyperplasia. It uses precise laser energy to gently target and shrink the overactive sebaceous glands without damaging the surrounding skin.

Why Fotona is so effective:

  • Pinpoint accuracy – targets only the lesion, preserving surrounding tissue
  • Minimal discomfort – most people describe it as a warm tingling sensation
  • Quick healing – no cutting, minimal downtime
  • Excellent cosmetic results – smooths out skin texture and reduces recurrence

In most cases, just one or two sessions are enough to achieve clear, smooth skin. The Fotona laser not only treats the existing lesions but also improves overall skin tone and texture.
