A chalazion is a collection of inflammatory debris typically perpetuated by an acute infection of an oil gland inside the eyelid. Traditionally, when a chalazion became scarred down (fibrosed), we used to rely on intralesional injections or surgical procedures to remove it. We now have a quick, non-surgical method of reducing inflammation, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).

IPL for Chalazion:

Is utilized in-office
takes ~ 15 minutes,
requires no downtime
no surgical intervention to resolve the chalazion

How does it work?

Heat energy from the IPL helps melt the stagnant meibum
Light energy reduces inflammation by coagulating/closing off leaky blood vessels
iPL prevents recurrence of chalazion
Reduces inflammation in the whole eyelid

Early intervention is just as important as identifying and treating the underlying cause. Please schedule a consultation to determine if this is the appropriate treatment for you.
