Syringoma Removal
Syringomas are benign skin growths caused by overactive sweat glands, most often appearing as small, firm bumps on the lower eyelids or upper cheeks. Although syringomas are harmless, their location and appearance can affect an individual's confidence and cosmetic concerns.
At Dr Jinah Yoo Dermatology, we specialise in removing benign skin lesions. Our approach begins with a comprehensive evaluation, ensuring an accurate diagnosis to differentiate syringomas from other skin conditions with similar symptoms, such as fordyce spots or milia.
Fast, pain free results
What are Syringomas?
These small, firm bumps are typically flesh-coloured or slightly yellow and often appear on the lower eyelids, upper cheeks, or neck. Syringomas develop when sweat glands overproduce cells, leading to these tiny, harmless growths on the skin's surface.
In some cases, individuals may experience eruptive syringomas, where multiple lesions appear suddenly and spread across larger areas of the body. Syringomas are more common in people with genetic predispositions or certain medical conditions, such as Down syndrome. While they are not harmful, their appearance can sometimes be mistaken for other conditions, such as fordyce spots or skin tags, making accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment.
How We Treat Syringoma Removal at Dr Jinah Yoo Dermatology
Once we have the diagnosis, we provide a range of advanced treatment options to remove the lesions safely, the treatments are tailored to each patient's needs to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Laser Removal
Laser treatment is a highly precise method that targets the affected area with controlled light energy to break down the skin tissue of syringomas. This option is best for targeting multiple or smaller lesions on sensitive areas like the face. This option offers effective results with minimal risk of scarring.
Agnes RF Microneedling
Agnes RF microneedling is an advanced treatment for syringomas, targeting these small, benign sweat gland tumours with precision and minimal downtime. Using a fine, insulated microneedle, Agnes RF delivers controlled radiofrequency energy directly into the affected area, effectively shrinking or removing syringomas without damaging surrounding skin. This minimally invasive procedure offers a safer and more effective alternative to traditional surgical methods, promoting smoother, healthier-looking skin. Perfect for delicate areas such as the eyelids, Agnes RF ensures exceptional results with minimal discomfort.

The staff was welcoming, and the therapist was knowledgeable and attentive. The clinic is clean and modern, and I am very pleased with my treatment results. Highly recommend!
I had a great experience here at Dr Jinah Yoo! I had the ‘brightening’ treatment after having too much sunburn on my summer vacation, and it really helped. The process was very enjoyable thanks to the skillful and gentle practitioner. I will come back in the future if I have any needs for skin improvements!
A perfect experience! I had the Dermal Tightening Programme which is for lift up. The therapist is very professional and the environment is also very helpful for relaxing. Nice location as well.
Absolutely love the place. Had some moles removed from my face by Dr Yoo. A week later there is not the slightest indication that there was ever even anything there. Results are incredible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Syringoma Removal FAQ’s
What is the best way to remove syringomas?
The best way to remove syringomas depends on the size, location, and depth of the lesions. At Dr Jinah Yoo Dermatology, we offer tailored syringoma treatment options to address the condition effectively while minimising risks using our cutting-edge technologies such as Agnes RF microneedling.
How are syringomas different from other tiny white bumps filled with fluid?
Unlike conditions such as milia or cysts, syringomas are firm, solid growths that do not contain fluid. They originate from overactive sweat ducts and require professional diagnosis and treatment to differentiate them from other skin conditions.
Where do syringomas typically develop?
Syringomas usually appear on the lower eyelids, upper cheeks, neck, or chest. These benign skin growths often form in clusters and may be more prevalent in areas where sweat glands are most active.
Is syringoma treatment painful?
Our syringoma treatments are performed using advanced techniques that prioritise patient comfort. Local anaesthesia or numbing creams are used during procedures to ensure minimal pain, and most patients experience only mild discomfort during or after the process.
Will my skin look smoother after treatment?
Yes, our treatments are designed to remove syringomas effectively and restore smoother skin with minimal risk of scarring. Techniques such as laser therapy or Agnes are particularly effective for achieving a more even complexion.
Why do syringomas form?
Syringomas develop due to overactive sweat glands, often linked to genetic factors or changes in the structure of skin protein. While they are harmless, syringomas can sometimes be hereditary or associated with other conditions.
How long does it take to recover after treatment to treat syringomas?
The recovery period depends on the treatment method. Our team provides personalised aftercare plans to support optimal recovery.
