Facial Bump Treatment
Targeted Solutions for Clearer, Smoother Skin
Facial bumps can arise from a variety of causes including clogged pores, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, acne lesions, benign growths, or vascular irregularities. Accurate diagnosis is essential, as treatment varies depending on the underlying cause.
At our clinic, facial bump treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment to determine the most appropriate and safe management plan.
Common Causes of Facial Bumps
Facial bumps may include:
• Milia (small keratin-filled cysts)
• Sebaceous hyperplasia
• Acne papules or cysts
• Cherry angiomas
• Skin tags
• Benign pigmented lesions
If there is any diagnostic uncertainty, referral for further medical assessment may be recommended.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, management may include:
Gentle Extraction
For milia or superficial congestion, sterile extraction techniques may be used where appropriate.
Laser Therapy
Vascular or select benign lesions may be treated using medical-grade laser technology such as the Cutera Excel V+ when clinically indicated.
Picosecond Laser Treatment
Certain pigmented lesions may be assessed for treatment using the Enlighten SR, depending on depth and suitability.
