Scanner-assisted carbon dioxide laser correction of severe rhinophyma: case report of a quality-of-life intervention easily learned
Abstract
Rhinophyma is a severe complication of rosacea that has been treated with multiple different surgical modalities over the years. Here we present two cases of rhinophyma that demonstrate the cosmetic results of scanner-assisted carbon dioxide laser correction and how this method can be easily learned and managed. We conclude that scanner-assisted carbon dioxide laser is an excellent treatment alternative for rhinophyma.
