Abstract
Phymatous rosacea is a rare and severe form of rosacea that manifests as disfiguring soft-tissue hypertrophy and sebaceous gland hyperplasia and fibrosis. Most cases are surgically treated; surgical modalities vary, however, ranging from cryosurgery to conventional excision, and consensus guidelines for surgical management do not exist. The Versajet II Hydrosurgery System (Smith-Nephew) is a high-pressure, pulsatile lavage system. We present the case of a 75-year-old man with severe phymatous rosacea of the nose, cheeks, and chin who was successfully treated with the Versajet II Hydrosurgery System, yielding excellent contouring.
