What Is Sebaceous Hyperplasia?

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a benign enlargement of the skin’s oil glands. It produces small, skin-colored or yellowish bumps, often on the forehead and cheeks, with a characteristic central indentation. Treatment is optional and usually cosmetic.

Dr. Yuriy Yagudin uses a fine radiofrequency electrode to treat individual bumps. The aim is to reduce the raised tissue and improve skin texture. The number of lesions, their size and location, and your skin’s healing response guide the treatment plan.

Individualized Evaluation

Some skin cancers can resemble sebaceous hyperplasia. Dr. Yagudin examines the lesions before cosmetic treatment; an uncertain or suspicious growth may need further evaluation or a biopsy.

What to Expect

Treatment targets each selected bump in the office. Anesthesia options and aftercare are discussed beforehand. Small crusts and temporary redness can develop at treated sites.

Results & Recovery

Healing time depends on treatment depth and location. Do not pick crusts; follow the prescribed wound care and sun protection instructions. Risks include pigment changes, infection and scarring. Additional treatment may be needed.

Safety & Candidacy

Tell Dr. Yagudin about medical conditions, medications, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, previous procedures and active skin problems. Procedure-specific risks, benefits and alternatives are reviewed before treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments are needed?

Some bumps respond to one session; others need repeat treatment. Your consultation determines a realistic plan.

Is there downtime?

Visible redness or crusting may remain while the treated skin heals. Plan around your individual treatment and aftercare instructions.

How do I know if I am a candidate?

An examination confirms whether the bumps are sebaceous hyperplasia and whether RF removal suits your skin and medical history.

Can the bumps return?

Recurrence and new bumps are possible, so removal does not guarantee permanent clearance.

How much does sebaceous hyperplasia removal cost?

Our current special starts at $200. The total depends on the number, size and location of the bumps and the treatment plan. Ask what the quoted price includes and whether further sessions would be charged separately.

Can RF removal leave a scar?

Scarring, a small depression, and lighter or darker marks are possible. Careful treatment planning and aftercare help manage these risks, but scar-free healing cannot be guaranteed.

Is removal the same as squeezing a clogged pore?

No. Sebaceous hyperplasia involves enlarged oil-gland tissue, rather than a simple plug. Avoid squeezing or attempting removal at home. Uncertain or changing bumps require evaluation before cosmetic treatment.

What Happens at Your Consultation?

Bring attention to any bump that has changed, bled or failed to heal. The first step is confirming the diagnosis, rather than assuming every facial bump is an enlarged oil gland.

What should I ask before removal?

Ask which lesions will be treated, how visible the healing sites may be, what wound care is needed and whether a second session may be appropriate. Confirm the total quoted fee and what follow-up or repeat treatment includes.

Is removal medically necessary?

Confirmed sebaceous hyperplasia is benign and can be left untreated. Cosmetic removal is a personal choice after discussing expected improvement, alternatives and healing risks.
