Hello,

Syringomas are harmless sweat duct tumors, typically found clustered on eyelids.the treatment of these syringomas include CO2laser, or electro desiccation, TCA chemical peels(temporary treatment),diathermy or laser vaporization.

The CO2 laser treatment has few side effects when performed under experienced hands and the only side effects that can be there is redness or initial burning of skin.

In my opinion,you can opt for this option provided you get it done after discussing it in detail with your cosmetologist.

Hope it helps.Take care and regards
