WHAT ARE FORDYCE SPOTS?
Fordyce spots, also known as Fordyce bumps, are small, pale, white, or yellowish raised bumps that appear on the skin surface. They are enlarged sebaceous (oil) glands that become visible without an associated hair follicle and commonly occur on the lips, lip border, facial skin, and other areas of the body.
Fordyce spots are harmless, non-contagious, and do not require medical treatment. However, many individuals choose cosmetic Fordyce spot removal when the bumps affect their confidence or the appearance of their skin. Treatment may help improve the appearance of the lips and surrounding areas, creating a smoother and more even-looking complexion.

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?
Yes. The Silhouet-Tone VascuLyse 2G is a Health Canada-registered RF device that delivers a precise, controlled current to the targeted area without piercing the skin. Liza James has over 25 years of experience performing thermocoagulation treatments with precision and care.
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 spots do not return. However new ones may appear over time as sebaceous glands are a natural part of skin anatomy.
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.
