Is it possible to resurface my nose? It just seems like it's bumpy and pores are enlarging.

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Fraxel and/or Co2 are best for resurfacing, but erbium is a good alternative. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp for more robust outcomes. For skin tightening, I recommend a combination of ultherapy with RF treatments and sculptra for skin tightening. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Yes, it is possible to only resurface your nose. Seek an experienced board certifiedfacial plastic surgeon who has experience in contouring the nose with laser.

Hi! Thank you for your question! It is definitely possible to resurface your nose, and most practices have a variety of modalities to address concerns on the nose. At Synergy, we often use lasers, along with microneedling and chemical peels, to improve the pore-size/texture concerns you’re asking about. Be sure to schedule an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to learn about the best option for you.

You can absolutely treat your nose through laser resurfacing! I would need to see a photo of your nose to determine the best course of action, but we often use microneedling, laser genesis, chemical peels and HydraFacial to address these textural issues/large pores that you describe. A combination approach is often useful, and we've also had success treating rhinophyma with laser genesis. 

We laser resurface noses all the time. Very helpful for minor bumps and major issues like rhinophyma. I prefer the Sciton erbium laser for this. Fractional lasers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermabrasion and microneedle rf are also options

Yes you can get your nose resurfaced if you are an appropriate candidate and have the downtime. It is best to schedule a consultation with a laser expert to see what the best options for you are.
