FAQ:
Frequently Asked Questions — Fordyce Bumps Removal Surrey, BC
Are Fordyce spots dangerous? No. Fordyce spots are completely benign, non-contagious sebaceous glands. They require no medical treatment. Cosmetic removal is entirely elective and performed for aesthetic reasons only.
Is thermocoagulation safe for Fordyce spots on lips?
Treatment may be appropriate for confirmed Fordyce spots on the lip area. Each area is visually assessed before treatment to determine suitability. Thermocoagulation uses a precise, controlled RF current applied to the targeted area. Because the lips are a sensitive area, treatment expectations, aftercare, and individual considerations are discussed before proceeding. Any unusual, changing, painful, or undiagnosed bump should be assessed by a physician or dermatologist before cosmetic treatment.
Is treatment painful?
Most clients experience mild warmth or brief sensitivity during treatment. The lip area can be more sensitive than other areas — expectations are discussed fully at consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
How many sessions are needed?
Many Fordyce spots show visible improvement in a single session. Clusters or larger areas may require follow-up. A consultation prior to treatment determines the most appropriate plan for your individual concern.
Will Fordyce spots come back?
Treated Fordyce spots may improve following treatment, but new spots can develop over time because sebaceous glands are a natural part of the skin.
Can all Fordyce spots treated?
Suitability is confirmed during your visual assessment prior to treatment. Any skin irregularity that appears suspicious, changing, or unusual requires physician assessment before cosmetic treatment.
Are Fordyce spots and Fordyce bumps the same thing?
Yes. Fordyce spots and Fordyce bumps refer to the same benign visible sebaceous glands. While harmless, some individuals choose cosmetic treatment to improve their appearance.
