Re: Rhinophyma and C02 Dr Sy, Nase, or Anyone

,

CO2 laser resurfacing has a much longer down time than any other form of

laser treatment. Published articles showed impressive results of this

modality in sculpting off the excess tissue in severe cases of rhinophyma.

From my experience in seeing some of my patients who have had this procedure

done (for their wrinkles - not for rhinophyma), it takes 1 week to 10 days

for the acute oozing & crusting to heal. Then it takes between 3 months to a

year or more for the erythema to subside. I imagine that for rosaceans, a

longer rather than shorter duration is more likely.

Rhinophyma and C02 Dr Sy, Nase, or Anyone

> Has anyone undergone CO2 for Rhinophyma? Dr. Sy or Nase I was wondering

what kind of downtown there is with this procedure, as I hear it's almost a

curative measure for the growth of the nose, and even destroys some of the

cells responsible for the rosacea as well. Any input would be great.
