Electrocautery:
- A finely tipped electrical device(electrocautery) is applied to each spot
- The treatment stings and feels very hot, but it completed in a few seconds
- The spots become crusted and heal over a period of 2 to 5 days
- A small amount of antibiotic ointment is applied daily until the areas are healed
- Make-up can be applied the next day
- The face can be washed normally
- There is no limitation to exercise, bathing or showering after treatment
- There is a small chance that the same gland may re-appear
- It is normal to continue to develop new sebaceous hyperplasia with time
- Rarely, a small white mark may be left at the site of treatment
Intense Pulsed Light Fotofacials (IPL):
- IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) – Fotofacials may be used for sebaceous hyperplasia
- It works better than electrocautery for very small glands and background redness of the skin
- As an added bonus it also treats:
- brown freckling
- broken blood vessels (telangiectasia)
- enlarged pores
- sun damage
- collagen deficiency in the skin
- All of these lead to smoother, younger looking skin and reduced size of the oil glands at the same time.

- If you are not currently a patient, a referral from another physician is required for electrocautery treatments with the doctor
- If you are interested in a free consultation regarding IPL with one of our aesthetic assistants, a referral is NOT necessary
