Laser Sebaceous Hyperplasia Treatment
Banish Bumps and Restore Clarity — The Gold Standard Laser Treatment for Smooth, Refined Skin
Generally speaking, sebaceous hyperplasia is characterized by small, soft, yellowish or flesh-toned bumps that typically appear on the face. These bumps are the result of enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands, often showing up on the forehead, cheeks, and nose, though they may also develop on other areas rich in oil glands. While harmless, sebaceous hyperplasia can be a source of cosmetic concern, especially when the bumps multiply or become more visible over time.
At Babyface Beauty Wellness, we offer a cutting-edge laser treatment for sebaceous hyperplasia that delivers safe, effective results with minimal discomfort or downtime. By utilizing advanced laser technology such as the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers, we can precisely target and reduce the overactive glands responsible for the condition, helping to restore your skin’s smooth and even texture.
Understanding Sebaceous Hyperplasia:
Your skin’s sebaceous glands produce sebum, which keeps it moisturized and protected. However, in sebaceous hyperplasia, these glands become enlarged and overactive, leading to small bumps that often have a central depression or “dimple” in the middle.
Who Gets It?
- Most commonly affects middle-aged and older adults, especially those with oily or sun-damaged skin
- Can occur in people who’ve used long-term corticosteroids or have a genetic predisposition
- Often mistaken for acne, basal cell carcinoma, or warts — making professional evaluation essential
Though not dangerous, many individuals seek treatment to improve the appearance of their skin or to avoid confusion with other skin conditions.
Why Laser Treatment is a Game-Changer for Sebaceous Hyperplasia?
Traditional treatments—like cryotherapy, electrocautery, or topical agents—may offer temporary results, but they can also pose risks of scarring, pigment changes, or incomplete lesion removal. Laser therapy, especially with our Fotona® Er:YAG and Nd:YAG systems, provides a non-invasive alternative that is more precise and effective.
Benefits of Laser Treatment at Babyface Beauty Wellness:
- Targeted Precision Without Skin Damage: Our laser’s energy is absorbed by the skin’s water content, allowing us to gently vaporize excess glandular tissue without harming nearby healthy skin. This makes laser treatment an ideal option for delicate facial areas.
- Thermal Stimulation for Skin Rejuvenation: In addition to removing lesions, the laser’s controlled thermal effect stimulates collagen production, improving skin texture, tightening pores, and enhancing overall tone and resilience.
- Oil Gland Regulation: By shrinking the enlarged glands, laser treatment helps control excess oil production, making it less likely for new bumps to form in the future.
- Minimal Downtime and Discomfort: Our laser approach is gentle and non-surgical. Most patients return to their normal routine immediately or within 1-2 days, with only mild redness or the formation of a small scab.
- Safe for Various Skin Types: With adjustable settings, the treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin tones, reducing the risk of hyperpigmentation or other side effects.
Recommended Treatment Plan:
Every case of sebaceous hyperplasia is unique. Most patients see visible improvement after just one treatment, though a series of sessions may be recommended depending on the number and size of the lesions.
Initial Treatment Series:
- 1-3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
- Significant results often visible after the first session
Maintenance:
- Not typically required, though occasional touch-ups may be advised if new lesions form

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:
- Medical Clearance for Suspicious Lesions
Any lesion that appears atypical or suspicious must be evaluated by your dermatologist before proceeding with laser treatment.
- Avoid Sun Exposure
Minimize direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment, and avoid tanning beds.
- Clean Skin Only
Please arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Avoid applying any lotions, creams, or serums to the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
Post-Treatment Care Instructions:
- Use a Re-Epithelizing Cream
Apply the recommended healing cream several times daily to aid in skin recovery.
- Expect a Small Scab
A tiny scab may form at the treatment site and typically falls off within 5-7 days. Do not pick or scratch the area.
- Soothe with Aloe or Cool Compresses
These can help ease any minor redness or irritation.
- Sun Protection is Essential
Apply SPF 30+ daily to protect healing skin and prevent hyperpigmentation.
- Stay Hydrated and Moisturized
Keep your skin well-hydrated during the healing process to support optimal regeneration.
FAQS
Most patients find the procedure to be comfortable, with only a mild warming or tingling sensation. Numbing cream is available but often not necessary.
Treating small areas usually takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of lesions.
Laser treatment removes existing lesions, but new bumps may develop if the underlying causes persist. However, recurrence is significantly reduced compared to other methods.
Although sebaceous hyperplasia most commonly occurs on the face, it can be treated in any area where sebaceous glands are present.
Our Fotona® laser technology includes customizable settings, making it safe and effective for a variety of skin types with a low risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Many patients see results after a single session, but larger or multiple lesions may require a few sessions for full clearance.
