At Dermatology Clinics Australia, we specialise in the diagnosis and expert treatment of rhinophyma-a severe form of rosacea that causes thickening and enlargement of the nose. Often misunderstood and under-treated, rhinophyma can significantly affect facial appearance and confidence. Our dermatologist-led approach combines surgical precision with advanced laser technology to restore natural nasal contour and skin texture.
Our clinic offers specialist treatment for all grades of rhinophyma. Dr Manoharan is globally recognised for his pioneering contributions in laser resurfacing, scar revision, and dermatologic surgery. He is a frequent keynote speaker at international dermatology and laser conferences, and is sought after for his clinical leadership and results-driven, patient-first approach.
We use a combination of CO2 laser, Erbium:YAG laser, and radiofrequency sculpting to precisely remove excess tissue, reshape the nose, and restore skin integrity with minimal downtime.
Rhinophyma is a subtype of rosacea marked by gradual thickening of the skin and enlargement of oil glands on the nose. While it was once thought to be linked to alcohol, we now know it results from chronic inflammation, vascular changes, and sebaceous hyperplasia. Left untreated, the condition can progress, leading to disfigurement.
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression. Our dermatologists assess severity and customise a treatment plan to address both cosmetic and medical concerns.
Rhinophyma presents in stages. We tailor each treatment approach accordingly:
Subtle thickening, enlarged pores, early gland hypertrophy.
Visible bulbous shape, coarse texture, uneven surface.
Marked disfigurement, obstructed nasal airflow, prominent nodular tissue.

Rhinophyma requires expert intervention to restore both form and function to the nose. Whether your case is mild or advanced, our treatment options combine laser precision, surgical expertise, and long-term skin management to achieve natural-looking results with minimal downtime.
