Rhinophyma Treatments In Harley Street, London

What is Rhinophyma?

Rhinophyma is a skin condition that causes the nose to become thickened and enlarged, giving it a bulbous and uneven appearance. It is a severe form of rosacea, more commonly seen in men than women, and typically develops over many years, often as a result of untreated rosacea. This condition is characterised by the excessive growth of sebaceous (oil) glands and fibrous tissue, leading to redness, swelling, and irregular lumps on the nose. In some cases, it can cause discomfort or even breathing difficulties.

Rhinophyma is most frequently seen in middle-aged to older Caucasian men but can also affect women and individuals with darker skin tones, although less commonly.

Rhinophyma Treatments

At Harley Street Dermatology Clinic, we are dedicated to providing exceptional care in the diagnosis and treatment of Rhinophyma. We use Co2 laser treatment to address the cosmetic challenges posed by Rhinophyma.

Co2 Laser Rhinophyma Treatment

CO2 laser treatment is a specialised medical procedure that uses a carbon dioxide laser to remove damaged skin layers with precision. By targeting the outermost layers of the skin, this treatment stimulates the production of new, healthy skin cells. It is commonly used to address a range of concerns, including rhinophyma, acne scars, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Renowned for its effectiveness in resurfacing the skin and improving texture, CO2 laser therapy offers noticeable and lasting results. As a minimally invasive procedure with relatively short recovery times, it is an excellent option for those seeking transformative improvements with minimal downtime.

Frequently asked Questions

How can early-stage rhinophyma be identified?

Early-stage rhinophyma is characterised by gradual changes in the nose's appearance and texture. Common symptoms include persistent redness, swelling, excessive oiliness, and visible blood vessels on the skin. The skin may also thicken slightly, giving the nose a bulbous or uneven texture.

Because these changes progress slowly over time, it is essential to seek medical advice early. An accurate diagnosis and timely treatment can help manage symptoms effectively and prevent the condition from advancing.

What are the causes of rhinophyma?

The exact cause of rhinophyma is unclear, though it is linked to rosacea flare-ups, possibly exacerbated by factors such as genetics, sun exposure, alcohol consumption and stress.

Is laser treatment effective for rhinophyma?

Laser treatment is a widely regarded option for managing rhinophyma, particularly in its more advanced stages. CO2 laser therapy is highly effective in removing excess tissue, reshaping the nose, and enhancing skin texture. This precise and minimally invasive procedure offers significant cosmetic and functional improvements, often with a relatively short recovery period.
