Dr. Alfonso Garmilla Carrillo used the

ETHEREA-MX® platform, with the IPL-Sq®, LongPulse®, ProDeep® and DualMode® handpieces.

Treatment:
  • Rhinophyma is a chronic inflammation of the tissues of the nose, affecting the color, texture and vascularization, with growth of external tissue and the presence of telangiectasias. Some authors consider it to be a subtype of rosacea. The changes occur at the level of the vessels of the dermis, which, when congested, cause hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the sebaceous glands. 


  • Its cause has not yet been established, but it is known that white men, over the age of 40, alcoholics, with a positive family history and a history of heavy sun exposure are the most commonly affected. Its treatment can vary from the use of topical products, dermabrasion, surgery and laser. 


  • Due to its characteristics, the combination of lasers with different wavelengths and pulsed light allows action on different chromophores, improving the result with safety and efficacy. For the treatment of vascular lesions, intense pulsed light (IPL-Sq ®) and 1,064nm laser (LongPulse®) are the most indicated, as they are absorbed by hemoglobin. The use of ablative laser – Er:YAG– 2940nm (DualMode®) and non-ablative – 1,340nm (ProDeep®), both with water attraction, act to improve skin texture. 


  • The IPL-Sq®, LongPulse®, ProDeep® and DualMode® handpieces are compatible with the ETHEREA-MX® and ZYE® platforms. 


  • For a more complete and global treatment, Dr. Carrillo combined the use of 4 technologies, with monthly intervals, as described below.
