Sebaceous Hyperplasia is a lengthy name for a condition that shows itself as one or more small bumps. People who are prone to oily skin most commonly encounter Sebaceous Hyperplasia, though it can affect people of all skin types – especially, we’ve found, shortly after they’ve returned from a holiday in the sun.
The bumps which characterise Sebaceous Hyperplasia may be white, pink, yellowish or no different in tone to the surrounding skin. If you’re unsure whether you have the condition, look for a depressed, dimple-like area in the centre of each bump.
Sebaceous Hyperplasia can appear as a single small bump or a series of bumps. It’s commonly seen on the chin, forehead or chest, all areas of the body close to oil glands.
Before your treatment begins
It’s important that the area of skin to be treated is free from any irritation or scabs before Sebaceous Hyperplasia reduction can commence. If you do have any of these problems please be extra careful not to pick or squeeze the affected area ahead of your appointment with us.
Before treatment begins you’ll have a short consultation with an Electrologist who will tell you exactly what to expect, as well as answering any questions you may have.
On the day of your appointment, your Electrologist will cauterise the affected area by applying Thermolysis current using a slender needle. This will remove the blemishes quickly and without lengthy recovery times.
The treatment doesn’t hurt. Instead, our clients often report nothing more than a slight feeling of discomfort. You’ll probably see some small marks where the blemish was previously located. Dry and crusty in texture, they will be gone in no more than 7 to 10 days.
Depending on how extensive the area to be treated may be, your appointment could last anything from 15 to 30 minutes.
After your treatment has finished
It’s quite possible that you’ll notice a little swelling immediately after Sebaceous Hyperplasia Reduction Treatment. The area we’ve treated may also appear redder than usual. All of this is normal and will go away within a day or two. During this time some scabs may form, but this is also nothing to worry about – just the skin’s own way of preventing infection. Simply leave them to come away on their own.
