Rosacea is a common condition often resulting in persistent erythema and telangiectasia as well as rhinophyma in a number of patients. Over the last two decades lasers have been increasingly used in the treatment of these permanent changes. The literature is reviewed in terms of the different laser systems, side-effects and comparison with other surgical techniques. Laser studies on rosacea-associated telangiectasia and erythema are limited. Copper-bromide, krypton and KTP lasers have been used with good to excellent results. However, the most commonly applied system is the flash lamp-pumped pulsed dye laser. Rhinophyma can be treated with a variety of different surgical methods, including laser resurfacing. CO(2) lasers are the most widely used lasers, others are the Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers. Cosmetic end results are comparable to partial excision with a scalpel or electrosurgery. There does not appear to be an increased risk of infection or scarring, but the conventional surgical methods are quicker to perform and more cost effective.

“…Pathologic diagnoses included 16 cases of rhinophyma, 1 case of rhinophyma with actinic kératoses, and 1 case of rhinophyma with basal cell carcinoma. Stacker et al, 12 however, have claimed that the C02 laser was not an adequate hemostatic modality. As in previously reported series, no patients required skin grafting or developed recurrence of rhinophyma after excision with the C02 laser.…”

Rhinophyma is a disfiguring disease of the nasal skin, primarily affecting white men in the fifth to seventh decades of life. Hypertrophy of the sebaceous apparatus leads to an enlarged, erythematous nasal tip with comedones. Modalities of treatment include dermabrasion, freehand scalpel shave, cryosurgery, electrocautery, excision and closure with local flaps, and laser resection. A retrospective review of 18 patients treated with carbon dioxide laser excision of rhinophyma from 1983 to 1993 is presented. Discussion includes technique, postoperative care, complications, recurrence, operative blood loss, length of follow-up, time to complete reepithelialization, and pathologic findings. The carbon dioxide laser is a relatively safe, cosmetically efficacious, and curative method of treating rhinophyma.

“…Subtotal excision protects the underlying sebaceous glandular tissue and allows spontaneously reepithelialization. Complete recovery is provided within two or three weeks [22][23][24][25]. Spontaneous re-epithelialization after subtotal excision requires an uncomplicated surgery but carries a risk of recurrence [13].…”

Rhinophyma is a rarely seen benign, chronic disease of nasal skin, characterized by nodular growing of sebaceous glands that affect the distal half of the nose and cause several functional and aesthetic problems. This uncommon disease is especially seen in Caucasian males between the ages of 45-60 and the incidence is 12 times higher in men than in women. There are different methods for treatment of rhinophyma, and surgical treatment is accepted as gold standard. In this study, we reported a case with rhinophyma that was followed and surgically treated with excision and full-thickness skin graft in
