Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removal Treatment
Sebaceous hyperplasia removal treatment targets the small, soft bumps that form when sebaceous (oil) glands become enlarged. Though harmless, these blemishes can be persistent and often affect the appearance and texture of the skin – particularly on the face.
SEBACEOUS HYPERPLASIA TREATMENT
From my private clinic in Flackwell Heath, Buckinghamshire, I provide safe and effective treatment for sebaceous hyperplasia. Using advanced techniques such as electrolysis, I help clients get rid of these stubborn lesions with minimal downtime and excellent cosmetic results.
If you’re looking for a new treatment for sebaceous hyperplasia that’s quick, precise and performed in a calm, professional setting, I’m here to help.
What Is Sebaceous Hyperplasia?
Sebaceous hyperplasia is a common skin condition where the sebaceous glands become enlarged, forming small, yellowish or skin-coloured bumps. These typically appear on the forehead, cheeks, or nose and are most common in middle-aged or older adults, though anyone can be affected.
Unlike acne or spots, sebaceous hyperplasia bumps are soft, have a central indentation (or “dimple”), and do not usually respond to standard skincare or exfoliation. They are not harmful but can be bothersome if numerous, prominent, or resistant to at-home treatment.

What Causes Sebaceous Hyperplasia?
These lesions form when the sebaceous glands produce too much oil and become enlarged. Common contributing factors include:
-
Ageing skin and reduced cell turnover
-
Hormonal changes
-
Genetics
-
Long-term sun damage
-
Oily skin types
-
Use of heavy or occlusive skincare products
While sebaceous hyperplasia is benign, many people choose to have the bumps removed for cosmetic reasons or to prevent them from multiplying over time.
How Is Sebaceous Hyperplasia Removed?
At my clinic, I use a sterile electrolysis probe to deliver a short burst of heat directly into the enlarged gland. This cauterises the tissue, breaks down the lesion, and allows the skin to heal naturally over the following days.
This method is:
-
Precise and suitable for facial areas
-
Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
-
One of the most effective treatments for sebaceous hyperplasia
-
Well-tolerated with long-lasting results
Most clients see significant improvement with a single session, though multiple lesions may require staged treatment.
When to Consider Treatment
You may benefit from sebaceous hyperplasia removal if:
-
The bumps are affecting your confidence or daily skincare routine
-
You have multiple lesions that seem to be increasing
-
You’ve tried topical treatments without success
-
You’re seeking a professional, permanent solution
Professional treatment is particularly recommended for facial areas where appearance and texture are a priority.

Common Questions About Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Is sebaceous hyperplasia contagious?
No. It’s a benign skin condition and not infectious or harmful.
Will sebaceous hyperplasia go away on its own?
Usually not. Once formed, the bumps often remain unless professionally treated.
Does sebaceous hyperplasia treatment hurt?
The sensation is mild, often described as a quick sting. Most clients find the procedure comfortable.
Can I prevent it from coming back?
While treatment removes existing lesions, new ones may form over time. Good skincare, sun protection, and avoiding heavy creams can help reduce recurrence.
Is electrolysis safe for all skin types?
Yes. Electrolysis is a controlled and precise treatment suitable for all skin types when performed by a trained professional.
