Eyelid sebum often occurs in those who frequently wear eye makeup, or due to changes in hormones, smoking, or alcohol consumption.

If eyelid sebum is not extracted in a timely manner, it can cause inflammation in the eyelid and block the tear ducts.

This can lead to the tear film disappearing quickly, worsening dry eye syndrome.

Many comments ask if it hurts.

Before extracting eyelid sebum,

anesthetic eye drops are applied to numb the area, so the treatment is not very painful!
