Sebaceous Hyperplasia: The Donut on Your Face You Didn’t Ask For
Ever noticed a small, white, cushion-like bump on your skin and thought, “Hmm, is that a milia?” Think again! This sneaky intruder is something different—a case of sebaceous hyperplasia. Unlike milia, which are solid and smooth, sebaceous hyperplasia sports a very distinct “donut shape” that gives it away.
Yes, you read that right—donuts on your face, but sadly, not the yummy kind.
Sebaceous hyperplasia is basically your oil glands being a little too extra, deciding to show up in tiny white or yellowish bumps, usually on your face. While they’re harmless, they can leave your skin looking bumpy and uneven. And let’s face it—who wants little white cushions hanging around on their cheeks?
Here’s the good news: You don’t have to live with these “donut cushions.” While retinol can help prevent new ones from popping up, getting rid of the existing ones requires a little more oomph. That’s where cryotherapy comes in. At Beautyologist, we zap those bumps with a quick blast of cold, effectively shrinking and removing them.
So, why settle for donut-shaped bumps when you could have smooth, glowing skin? Book in for a cryo session at Beautyologist and say goodbye to those unwanted “cushions” for good. And don’t forget to keep up with your retinol for a future that’s bump-free!
