Portrait is relatively ineffective for sebaceous gland hyperplasia; I have no experience with Fraxel but imagine it is not likely to help too much for this problem. This problem needs to be treated relatively aggressively as pointed out by Dr. Oppenheim, via 85% TCA or via spot treatments with a CO2... more
Will Fraxel or Portrait treat sebaceous hyperplasia?
What is Portrait Plasma Regeneration or PSR? Is it another laser skin treatment like Fraxel? I have been exploring fraxel treatments for poikloderma of civates face and neck and sebaceous hyperplasia on the facial skin.

What is the most effective treatment for sebaceous hyperplasia lesions? I have tried acid and laser treatments, both of which were completely ineffective. Is electrodesiccation a good option? I would also like to know if vigorous scrubbing/exfoliation of my face when I wash can exacerbate sebaceous hyperplasia.
