Syringoma Removal Using Peels
One of the options for syringoma removal is the use of peels. Cosmetic peels are a very good option because not only are they very effective but also easily available on the market and they are not classed as medicines. In order to remove Syringoma within a useful timeframe and few number of sessions, usually the concentrations used start from 40% and above. The concentrations used vary according to the type of peels used(i.e. whether it is TCA, Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Pyruvic Acid, etc), and whether the formulation comes in a gel or fluid solution.
How are Syringoma removed by using peels?
When using peels for Syringoma removal, we are applying a chemical ablation. One difference between a chemical ablation and the ablation by vaporization (ie Electrofulguration or Laser removal) is that the real effects of the chemical ablation are not immediate and kick in a couple of days after the application of the peel. Therefore with chemical ablation, the ablative effects on the Syringoma are similar to those of Lasers or other cosmetic equipment, and for this reason the results are similar.
However, often cosmetic clinics promote Lasers or Electrofulguaration equipment as the best option for syringoma removal. The real reasons are twofold:
- the higher perceived value associated to laser treatments and other cosmetic equipment in general
- and Syringoma can be removed in one session by using Lasers
However the use of peels for Syringoma removal present their advantages over the use of Cosmetic Lasers and other equipment.
What are the advantages of using peels versus Electrofulguration and Laser Removal?
Laser and Electrofulguration removal are the preferred option in cosmetic clinics for Syringoma removal because they allow quick removal within one session provided that the practitioner is adequately trained. As usual one session only will suffice to level off the syringoma and achieve the desired results. Also the perceived added value of cosmetic procedures carried out by using cosmetic lasers dictate high prices and are quite profitable to the clinics. However are these high prices really worth it, compared to the use of specialized peels for Syringoma removal? Lets watch the video right hand side to know What are the advantages of using peels versus Electrofulguration and Laser Removal?
What are the disadvantages of using peels?
Leaving the problem of Syringoma recurrence aside, the main disadvantage of using specialized cosmetic peels for syringoma removal is that it is not often possible to achieve the same results possible with the use of cosmetic lasers or electrofulguation equipment within one session. By using specialized peels, more than one session may be required in order to achieve similar cosmetic results which can be achieved with lasers in one session only. The need to split the treatment into various sessions can be seen as a disadvantage from the cosmetic clinic’s point of view, and this is the reason for TCA being the preferred option in cosmetic clinics.

What are the advantages of using peels?
- Less likelihood of scarring, because the outcome of the cosmetic treatment is less dependent on the beautician’s ability in using cosmetic equipment, as it is in the case of lasers and electrofulguration equipment. After all, when using cosmetic lasers or electrofulguration equipment the results are more dependant on the user.
- No need for anesthetics, because the treatment is virtually pain-free. Some burning sensation may be experienced at the beginning of the treatment, however, this will subside within five minutes as it is bearable for most people. (depending on the type of peel used the burning or stinging sensation can last longer)
- Syringoma treatments by using peels are generally more cost-effective because cosmetic peels are easily available on the market and generally, they are not heavily regulated. This means that even if Syrinogmas will recur at a later stage they can be removed again safely and inexpensively by using specialized peels for syringoma removal.
- By using certain formulations syringoma removal can be even done safely at home in multiple sessions.
What types of peel can be used for syringoma removal?
Generally, the preferred option for syringoma removal are:
- Bichloracetic acid (BCA) or Trichloracetic Acid (TCA). These are the preferred peels in beauty clinics because they are generally very effective and strong. It is possible to remove Syringomas in one or two sessions only by using strong enough concentrations. Some other types of peels than can be used for this application are:
- Glycolic Acid
- Pyruvic Acid
These two options (Glycolic and Pyruvic Acid) are milder alternatives and they are seldom used in cosmetic clinics because it is usually required more than one session to obtain good cosmetic results. However, these types of peels are far less aggressive than TCA and hence more suitable for home use. (Note that using certain concentrations incorrectly, without certain milding ingredients and in fluid solutions could cause scarring if misused)
After care
The aftercare is minimal after this type of procedure. Although the risks of infections are very low after a superficial cosmetic procedure it is advisable to instruct the client to apply the appropriate antiseptic (cream) twice a day. This will drastically reduce even further the risks of mild infections. In order to reduce the risks of hyperpigmentation sunscreen must be worn daily for at least 3 months after the last treatment.
