The same spots, over and over

Skin that's shiny an hour after washing it. Breakouts that keep coming back in the exact same place. Pores that stay clogged no matter what you use. Small raised bumps that won't go anywhere.

What changes

Sebaceous tapping uses diathermy to disable overactive oil glands at the source. Less oil from those glands means fewer repeat breakouts, less shine and less congestion in the treated areas.

How it's handled here

The skin is assessed first so only the glands causing trouble are treated. Each one is worked on precisely, so the skin around it is left alone.

We'd rather tell you what won't work than sell you something that will disappoint.

What to expect

Sensation

A brief sting with each gland treated.

Duration

15-60 minutes depending on area

Sessions

Varies by how many glands are involved

Downtime

Small marks settle within 1-2 weeks.

Honest limits

Treats the glands that are overactive now. New ones can become active over time, so some people need a top-up later. Active infection or undiagnosed skin conditions should be assessed first.

Pricing

Straightforward pricing. No packages, no pressure to commit upfront.

Sebaceous Tapping
From $150

Why no packages?

Packages lock you in before you know if it works for you. I'd rather you see results first, then decide if you want to continue.

Most clients book the next session because they saw what the first one did, not because they're locked into a contract.

This is for you if

  • Very oily, shiny skin
  • Recurring breakouts in the same spots
  • Small raised oil-gland bumps
  • Enlarged, clogged pores

This may not be suitable if

  • Active skin infection
  • Undiagnosed or suspicious lesions

Not sure if this is right for you? We'll assess your situation in the first few minutes. No charge if it turns out this isn't the right approach.
