Ultimate Relief
OptiLight IPL and OptiPLUS RF are clinically proven to work together, delivering synergistic relief for dry eye sufferers. While IPL targets the inflammatory component of Dry Eye Disease, RF works by heating the clogged glands and helping the lipids flow naturally.
How can Radiofrequency (RF) help dry eyes?
Our meibomian glands are located along the top and bottom eyelids and produce the oil layer of our tears. This oil helps keep the tears on our eyes. MGD causes glands to become inflamed, allowing less oil to be secreted into the tear film. Over time these glands can shorten and die off (atrophy) which causes our tears to evaporate more quickly and results in dry eye symptoms.
Radio Frequency uses electromagnetic energy to heat those clogged oil glands. This clears blockages and helps improve the secretion of oil from the meibomian glands.
FAQ
Is Radio Frequency treatment right for me?
OptiPlus Radio Frequency dry eye treatment is ideal for patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. If you have not yet discovered the cause of your dry eye, please call to schedule an appointment with us We will then discuss the best course of treatment for you.
What can I expect?
OptiPlus RF is a comfortable, safe procedure that doesn’t have any downtime. Some patients report that it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage. After the procedure, you might have slight redness which is caused by your skin’s elevated temperatures during treatment and will subside soon afterward. You will be able to return to normal daily activities immediately!
How long does the treatment take, and how many do I need?
It’s typically completed in less than 20 mins! Because MGD varies in severity for each patient, multiple treatments are ideal to achieve optimal results. Your doctor will
recommend four treatments spaced about 2- 4 weeks apart to allow for the glands to begin flowing once again. The time between treatments will also allow time for your skin’s collagen to restore and rebuild elasticity before treating the area again.
Are there any side effects?
Patients may sometimes experience redness and slight swelling of the skin after a procedure. The redness typically fades within a few hours. A happy side effect many patients get is a smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles around their eyes as the collagen in the skin rebuilds in the treatment area.
