## Abstract

Rhinophyma is a chronic skin pathology that mainly affects the nose. It is featured by thickening of the skin and soft tissue of the nose. Treatment options include topical medication, systemic drugs, electrocautery, cryosurgery, laser therapy, dermabrasion, and in some cases, surgical procedures like rhinoplasty. The aim of this report is to demonstrate the usefulness of the blue laser and its efficacy in the treatment of rhinophyma.

We report two cases of patients diagnosed with rhinophyma who underwent blue laser treatment.

The use of blue laser to treat rhinophyma has shown to be an effective and safe procedure with very promising results.
