Those small, flesh-colored or yellowish bumps on your face? They may be sebaceous hyperplasia — and they’re treatable. At Kovak Cosmetic Center in Oakbrook Terrace, IL, we use advanced cosmetic dermatology techniques to eliminate sebaceous hyperplasia and restore smooth, clear, and even skin with no surgery or scarring.
Sebaceous hyperplasia occurs when the oil glands in the skin become enlarged and clogged, typically showing up as soft bumps on the forehead, cheeks, or nose. At Kovak Cosmetic Center, we treat these bumps with electrodesiccation, laser therapy, and advanced skin resurfacing technologies to shrink the glands and clear the skin’s surface.
Our expert physicians carefully assess your skin type and lesion severity to choose the right approach — with a focus on precision, safety, and minimal downtime.
After treatment, the treated area may appear slightly red or dry. Some mild flaking or pinpoint scabbing may occur depending on the technique used.
