Disfiguring enlargement of the nose, or rhinopyma, resulting from the growth of soft tissue, can be effectively treated with a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser. Dr. Renuka Diwan is able to beautifully sculpt the nose with this laser sculpting procedure.
How does CO2 Laser Sculpting help treat Rhinophyma?
After numbing with anesthetic injection, the focused beam of the CO2 laser is utilized to cut through and remove the excess tissue. Final sculpting is gently completed with the laser beam to achieve a normalized shape of the nose.
You will need to spend some time recovering after your laser sculpting treatment for rhinophyma. Dr. Diwan will provide you with detailed care instructions upon the completion of your procedure. Healing is completed in about two to three weeks.
When will I notice the results of my Rhinophyma laser sculpting treatment?
It will be some time before you are able to see the final results of your procedure. Once the healing is complete, any disfigurement caused by rhinophyma will be dramatically reduced or eliminated. Redness of the newly healed skin will gradually fade over several weeks. Patients are often overjoyed with the look of their new nose and experience life-changing boosts in their levels of self-confidence.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment in Cleveland, Westlake, & Strongsville area. The most recent addition to hair removal methods, laser hair removal, provides safe, long-term hair reduction. You will enjoy freedom from regular waxing or shaving, razor burns and cuts, and ingrown hair; and save time in your busy schedule! We offer treatment with the 810 nm diode laser at the Laser and Skin Surgery Center.
How is laser hair removal performed?
The diode laser, with an 810 nm wavelength, is used at our office primarily on fairer complexions. The minor discomfort from the treatment can be effectively controlled with an anesthetic cream before the treatment, if needed.
Laser hair removal is most effective for brown or black hair. White or blonde hair lacks the pigment that is necessary for absorption of the laser energy and is, therefore, not affected by the laser. Red hair also has very little pigment and, as a result, does not respond as well as darker hair.
All areas of the face, neck, arms, legs, underarms, bikini area, back, chest and abdomen can be treated with the laser for men and women. Patients who develop ingrown hairs from shaving, especially appreciate the benefits of not having to shave. A medical consultation before the laser treatment is important to rule out medical problems which can cause excessive hair growth. If such an abnormality is detected, medical treatment of the underlying problem is not only important to the patient’s health; it also corrects the excessive hair growth.
After the treatment the skin usually appears red and a little bumpy for 30 min, or less, to a couple of hours. It is important to keep your treated skin sun-protected outdoors and avoid any unnecessary sun exposure.

When will I notice the results of my laser hair removal?
Multiple laser hair removal treatments with Dr. Diwan are necessary for the most effective hair reduction. Incremental improvement occurs with successive treatments.
