Treatment of rhinophyma with the Versajet Hydrosurgery System.
Rhinophyma is thought to represent the most severe expression of acne rosacea for which surgery is the mainstay of treatment. The use of Versajet Hydrosurgery System has not been previously described for the treatment of this condition. We present six patients with moderate to severe rhinophyma ranging from 41 to 77 years of age who were treated successfully with this technique.
