The path for your Younique journey begins with this first step.
Is sebaceous hyperplasia dangerous?
No, sebaceous hyperplasia is not dangerous. It’s a benign condition that causes no serious health concerns other than its negative effects on personal aesthetics. Depending on the location of the “bump”, it may rub against clothing and/or other skin to cause irritation and discomfort.
How does hyfrecation address sebaceous hyperplasia in Los Angeles?
Hyfrecation, also known as electrosurgery, uses “cold cautery” to gently burn away the blemishes and create better skin aesthetics. Your Younique provider uses the hyfrecator electrode—a hand-held device with a tip like a small needle—to apply small electrical pulses to the sebaceous hyperplasia bump. This effectively burns it away for permanent results.
Are there topical skincare treatments for sebaceous hyperplasia?
To support other treatments, or in conjunction with some medications, various medical-grade skincare products are available that help maintain results and reduce the production of oil by the sebaceous glands themselves. Retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids frequently help to reduce the appearance of these benign lesions. Your Younique provider can help guide you to the best at-home medical-grade skincare products for your situation.
