Skin is a 2 on the Fitzpatrick scale according to my dermatologist. Probably have over 30 individual sebacious hyperplasias. 47 year old. I considered having the hyfecator treatment but it just seemed like greater chance of scarring given the number of bumps. The thought here is to get the majority of them with the laser, then come back with the hyfecator for the bad ones.
