How Does EnVision Radio Frequency (RF) Treat Dry Eyes?
What is Dry Eye Syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a common eye condition, affecting up to 50% of the population.
This occurs when the quantity or quality of the tears is compromised, and the eyes are unable to receive the nourishment and protection they need to remain healthy and hydrated.
While there are a number of conditions that can lead to DES, approximately 80% of dry eye cases are caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
1. Forma-I: Improves Blood Circulation around the Eyes
Forma-I addresses the symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
INMODE Forma-I Radiofrequency treatment (RF) uses Radio-Frequency energy to generate heat which is applied to the skin around the eyes.
This heat stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells, and stem cells to the skin around your eyes while reducing inflammation. The main benefits of RF are:
- Safely heating meibomian glands for better oil flow into the tears
- Tightening existing collagen at the dermal layer
- Stimulating the production of NEW collagen in the deeper skin layers
This treatment aids in opening up clogged meibomian glands, allowing for improved essential oils and tear quality.
2. Lumecca-I: Treats Ocular Inflammation and Tear Film Osmolarity
Lumecca-I is an effective treatment of benign pigmented epidermal lesions and benign cutaneous vascular lesions.
Lumecca-I was developed with an advanced xenon flash lamp producing 40% of total pulse energy in the 500-600 nm range. IPL energy penetrates the skin and is selectively absorbed by lesion chromophores, melanin or hemoglobin.
3. Lumecca IPL: Treats Ocular Rosacea and Dry Eyes
Lumecca Intense Pulse Light treatment (IPL) works to control the inflammatory process and to stop the vicious cycle of inflammation.
IPL treats ocular rosacea, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Inflammatory dry eye.
IPL treatment involves flashes of light to the skin around the eyelids and face. Light gets absorbed by the mitochondria of the Meibomian Glands. This helps to switch on the Glands, and they become ‘younger’ and more active.
IPL has been shown to treat dry eye symptoms by;
- Deleting demodex mites and bacteria around the eyelids.
- Closing off blood vessels that release inflammation in ocular rosacea.
- Allowing the eyelid glands to produce better quality and volume of the essential Meibomian Oils
