Chalazion treatment
Reviewed by Rajesh Khanna, MD
Warm compresses not working? Our gentle in-office procedure treats chalazia with no incisions, no stitches and little downtime.
Why Home Compresses Fail (And Ours Works)
A chalazion is a blockage of a deep oil gland in your eyelid. The oil inside has hardened, like cold butter. Your warm washcloth at home simply can't get hot enough for long enough to melt this stubborn blockage.
The "Old Way" (Scary & Outdated)
The traditional method is "Incision & Drainage." This is a surgical procedure that involves:
- A painful anesthetic injection in the eyelid.
- Flipping the eyelid inside-out.
- Using a scalpel to cut the eyelid open.
- Scraping out the contents, causing trauma.
- Risk of scarring and a long recovery.
Our "Modern Way" (Gentle & Effective)
Our advanced Thermal Expression Procedure is non-surgical and designed for your comfort:
- Simple, painless numbing eye drops.
- Applying therapeutic heat to melt the blockage.
- Gently extracting the liquefied oil.
- No incisions. No stitches. No scars.
- Immediate relief and you drive home.
Your 3-Step Path to a Clear Eyelid
Our entire process is designed to be quick, comfortable, and highly effective.
Therapeutic Heat
First, we apply precise, therapeutic heat directly to the blocked gland. This heat comfortably and safely liquefies the hard, trapped oil—something a home compress can't do.
Gentle Extraction
Once the blockage is fully melted, Dr. Khanna performs a gentle, manual extraction of the gland. This completely clears the contents without any cutting, removing the "lump" immediately.
Immediate Relief
The bump is instantly smaller, and the pressure is gone. The gland can now heal naturally. The entire in-office procedure is fast, and you can return to your day right after.
Stop Waiting for It to Go Away.
