Rhinophyma: What it is and how to treat it with Fractional CO₂ Laser
Rhinophyma is a skin condition that causes thickening of the nose and deformation of its profile, due to the abnormal growth of the sebaceous glands. It particularly affects middle-aged men and is considered an advanced form of Rosacea.
Traditional treatments – such as topical creams or oral antibiotics – often prove ineffective in more advanced cases. Today, however, technology offers a concrete solution: the CO laser₂ fractionated, precise and minimally invasive outpatient treatment.
How Does CO2 Laser Treatment Work₂ Fractional
The laser works by vaporising selective layers of the skin, reshaping the tissue and reducing skin thickening. This allows for:
Reshaping the profile of the nose;
To improve skin quality and uniformity;
– Avoid the scalpel and traditional surgery.
The results are visible in a few sessions, with short recovery times and a minimal risk of side effects.
