Rhinophyma is a benign tumor of the nose. It possesses both functional and cosmetic implications. The pathophysiology of the disease is reviewed to illustrate the basis for the treatment options. Many different therapeutic modalities have been reported in the literature, each with reasonable success. A new treatment approach to this condition is developed using a combination of the Weck blade and the argon beam coagulator. This modality is found to be relatively simple and less traumatic than all the other techniques used by the senior author.
