Yes and No and No: Yes the treatments could ablate sebaceous glands which empty into the hair follicles BUT YOU COULD NOT POSSIBLY ablate enough of these to affect your Body Temperature or whatever "waterproofing sebum supplies! Hope this helps Dr Z

I do not know: I will have to learn more about this oil treatment. But I would think it probably removed the Hair from surface. Cannot destroy the hair follicles and definetly not the sebaceous gland
