Can lasers treat syringomas?

Syringomas are small lesions (1-3mm) that generally appear under the lower eyelids.  These skin lesions mostly affect females and usually begin in puberty.  Syringomas appear as soft, yellowish papules (raised bumps) and do not have any symptoms associated with them.  Although syringomas are considered benign, they may represent a significant cosmetic concern for many.

what is a syringoma

 

Currently, there are only two recognized methods for removing syringomas – electrodessication and/or class IV medical lasers.  These lesions will not go away without intervention. 

 

The Erbium MicroLaserPeel is an ablative laser that may offer good outcomes.  However, if the lesions are too close to the lower lid or eye area, treatments with this method may not be recommended due to eye safety concerns.

What is a syringoma?

SYRINGOMAS are commonly found under the lower eyelid or other locations within the eye's orbit.  Syringomas are found mostly in women, they usually appear during puberty and are 1-3 mm in diameter.   They are white or yellowish, soft translucent bumps that can also appear sometimes on the cheeks or torso.

Important points about Syringomas:

*Syringomas are only a cosmetic concern and do not represent a health threat.

*Syringomas are treatable with destruction only by destroying them with an electrical device (electrodessication) or using ablative lasers (erbium).

*Care must be taken if lasers are used to treat syringomas that are very close to the eye lashes. If the syringoma lesions are too close to the eye area we may not be able to treat them.  In addition, African Americans and higher skin types are not candidates for Erbium lasers in our practice so they may have to use electrodessication instead.

*Syringomas will persist unless treated.

*Syringomas should be diagnosed before receiving treatment as they can be mistaken for other kinds of lesions.
