How IPL Treatment Works for Dry Eyes
Lumecca I: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy
Lumecca utilizes precisely calibrated Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) pulses to target abnormal blood vessels around the eyes. These vessels often contribute to inflammation, a key factor in dry eye syndrome. By addressing the root cause of this inflammation, Lumecca aims to alleviate symptoms and improve ocular comfort.
Forma I: Radiofrequency Treatment
Forma employs radiofrequency (RF) technology to gently warm the meibomian glands located in your eyelids. This gentle warmth helps to unblock these glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of your tears. Improving the function of these oil-producing glands enhances tear quality and reduces inflammation, both crucial for managing dry eye syndrome. Additionally, the radiofrequency energy can stimulate collagen production, which may help to tighten the skin around the eyes.
