Question
Syringomas are incomplete ductal tumours located in the dermis (deeper layer of the skin).
As such, syringomas are best treated by focal and precise ablative modalities such as electrocautery and carbon dioxide laser.
Chemical peels, even with more potent acids such as trichloroacetic acid, are not recommended as chemical peels are simply not precise enough to remove the syringomas while sparing the surrounding tissue.
Dr Boey has answered well. Actually, I think that technology and the likes is just part of the story. The most important aspect of the clinic is really the Doctor who attends to you. We have all heard horror stories, including doctors themselves who have met other doctors who don't seem to care, or dish out cookie-cutter advice to all patients. First and foremost, the doctor must take a genuine interest in yourself and your problems, so a 2 minute consultation is not going to serve that purpose.
Hi,From the photo, you appear to have mild acne scars rather than open pores. Fractional CO2 laser should work. Effectiveness may be enhanced with more aggressive treatment parameters albeit at the expense of perhaps more unwanted side-effects such as PIH. Alternatives to consider are Fractional microneedle RF and fractional picosecond laser. It is best you discuss with your preferred aesthetic doctor your expectations and ability to accept downtime for him/her to help devise an individualized treatment plan for you. Hope this helps!
