Are you struggling with persistent dry eye discomfort? At our Dry Eye Clinic, we offer an advanced solution: OptiPLUS by Lumenis. This FDA-cleared, dual-frequency radiofrequency (RF) device is designed to target blockages in the meibomian glands, helping restore natural oil flow and improve eye comfort. As an added benefit, it also promotes skin rejuvenation around the eyes, enhancing both eye health and aesthetics.
Dry Eye Syndrome is often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a condition where the small oil-producing glands along the eyelid margins become blocked. These glands play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy tear film by preventing tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become obstructed, they fail to release oil effectively, leading to dryness, irritation, and inflammation.
OptiPLUS uses cutting-edge RF technology to deliver controlled heat, which works in two key ways:
Deep Tissue Heating (1 MHz): This frequency targets deeper tissues, increasing blood circulation and softening thickened oils trapped in the meibomian glands. By liquefying these blockages, the glands can function properly again, improving tear film stability and overall eye comfort.
Superficial Heating (4 MHz): This frequency focuses on the upper skin layers, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin rejuvenation. Many patients notice a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Unlike Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, which primarily treats inflammatory and vascular-related MGD, OptiPLUS directly addresses obstructive MGD by effectively clearing gland blockages. By doing so, it targets the root cause of mechanical obstruction and restores normal oil production.
Clears Meibomian Gland Blockages: By delivering precise heat, OptiPLUS melts thickened secretions, allowing the meibomian glands to function properly and reducing tear evaporation.
Provides Long-Term Dry Eye Relief: Many patients experience significant improvements in dryness, irritation, and fluctuating vision after completing a treatment series.
Enhances Skin Appearance: The RF energy stimulates collagen production, tightening the skin around the eyes and reducing wrinkles for a more youthful look.
Comfortable & Non-Invasive: The treatment is often described as a warm, relaxing massage. No anesthesia is required, and there is no downtime.
Each OptiPLUS session lasts approximately 15-20 minutes. For optimal results, we recommend a series of four treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Many patients notice improvement even after the initial sessions.
The treatment is gentle, and most patients experience only a pleasant warming sensation during the procedure. Side effects are minimal, with mild redness in some cases, which typically subsides shortly after treatment.
Per Session: $250
Package of Four Sessions: $900 (Save 10% when paid upfront)
