Syringoma Removal explained

Syringomas are benign growths of the eccrine sweat ducts. They appear as small, firm bumps, often in clusters on the lower eyelids, cheeks or neck. They are more common in women and in East Asian skin, and they do not go away on their own.

How Syringoma Removal works

Syringomas sit in the dermis, so they cannot be pressed out like milia. Doctors use CO2 laser to vaporise the growth, either across the bump or through small, deep pinpoint holes (a method often called pinhole or multiple drilling). Treating gradually over several sessions lowers the risk of scarring around the delicate eye area.
