What is Effect of Fraxel on Sebaceous Hyperplasia?

October 3, 2009
Asked By:California Uber Girl in Berkeley, CA

I am 58 with history of adolescent and young adult acne. I have many enlarged hardened sebaceous glands below corners of mouth and on cheek. They are between the wrinkled creases. They aren't raised up much, but they can be felt and are definitely visible under the surface when I stretch the skin over. Would Fraxel make these go away, or will it make them show more so should I have the sebaceous hyperplasia treated first?
