Rhinophyma is a skin condition primarily affecting the nose, characterized by thickened, bumpy skin, enlarged pores, and redness. It often appears as an advanced form of rosacea, leading to the characteristic "bulbous nose" appearance. At QC Skin Clinic in Melbourne, we offer advanced and effective rhinophyma treatment to restore the natural look of your nose and boost your confidence.
Patients undergoing rhinophyma treatment can expect a dramatic improvement in their nose’s appearance. Before and after pictures show the effectiveness of both CO2 laser and surgical treatments in reducing skin thickness, enhancing nose shape, and restoring a more natural, symmetrical look.
Rhinophyma is a progressive skin disorder that causes the nose to become enlarged and deformed over time. The condition leads to thickened skin, an uneven surface, and discoloration. It affects both the appearance and function of the nose, and if left untreated, it can worsen over time.
At QC Skin Clinic, we provide a variety of rhinophyma treatment options tailored to each patient's needs. We use cutting-edge technologies to ensure optimal results with minimal downtime.
One of the most effective treatments for rhinophyma is CO2 laser therapy. This ablative laser precisely removes thickened skin layers, reshaping the nose to restore its natural appearance.
The rhinophyma CO2 laser treatment helps smooth out the skin and reduces the enlarged pores that are typical of this condition. Patients can expect a significant improvement in texture and size with minimal scarring. Rhinophyma laser treatment is suitable for mild to moderate cases.
For more severe cases, rhinophyma Radiosurgical treatment may be necessary. This process removes extra tissue with a Radiosurgical device, such as Ellman RF. It carefully targets thickened areas to improve the skin's texture.
At QC Skin Clinic, we specialise in providing advanced skin treatments, including rhinophyma treatment in Melbourne. Our experienced team uses the latest techniques, such as rhinophyma CO2 laser therapy and radiosurgery, to ensure effective, minimally invasive solutions. We are dedicated to helping you achieve a natural, aesthetically pleasing outcome with personalized care.

Rhinophyma is commonly associated with untreated or advanced rosacea, a chronic skin condition. It can worsen over time without treatment.
Recovery typically takes a few weeks, with most patients noticing significant improvement in both texture and appearance within a month.
While treatment can provide lasting results, ongoing skin care and management of rosacea are essential to prevent recurrence.
Thanks to local anaesthetics, you will experience little to no pain during the procedure. Any discomfort typically comes from the anaesthetic injection itself.
The treated area will form a scab, which will heal over two weeks. Any pink discoloration will gradually fade over several months to reveal the final result.
Doctors recommend keeping the area covered for 2-3 days to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection. Our Doctor will prescribe you an ointment to apply daily to the treated areas for 2 weeks.
