Rhinophyma Treatment Center NYC
Rhinophyma is a severe manifestation of rosacea, primarily affecting men. It results from the hypertrophy of sebaceous glands and surrounding connective tissue, causing significant nasal enlargement. The nose appears reddened and marked with numerous telangiectasias (broken blood vessels).
Causes and Progression
Rhinophyma is caused by bacterial infections and can initially be managed with antibiotics and topical creams. However, as the condition progresses, more aggressive treatments such as dermabrasion, electrosurgery, and laser therapy are required.
Advanced Treatment Options
Left untreated, rhinophyma will not resolve on its own. However, medical advancements have made it possible to treat the effects of rhinophyma successfully. Dr. Gary Jayne Rothfeld, a board-certified dermatologist, offers various treatment options:
- Medications: Antibiotics and Metrocream to clear infections and reduce inflammation.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Avoiding prolonged sun exposure, using physical sun blockers with titanium and zinc oxide, and avoiding skin irritants.
- Surgical Options:
- Reconstructive Surgery: Removal of extra tissue and reshaping of the nose under anesthetic.
- CO2 Laser Treatment: Reducing and reshaping nasal tissue with minimal bleeding.
- Electrosurgery: Using electrical currents to cut and remove excess tissue.
- Dermabrasion: Smoothing and reshaping the nose with a rotating brush, often combined with other procedures.
Achieving Optimal Results
Dr. Gary ensures personalized care for every patient, evaluating each condition carefully to choose the best treatment plan. While rhinophyma treatments can significantly enhance appearance and self-confidence, realistic expectations are crucial for patient satisfaction.
