IPL
Intense Pulsed Light is a skin treatment originally used for rosacea that also effectively treats Dry Eye and Demodex overgrowth.
Specific wavelengths of pulsed light reduce inflammation by constricting abnormal blood vessels that secrete inflammatory mediators and help to melt the meibum.
RF
Radio Frequency provides uniform heat to the subdermal layers of the skin and melts the hardened meibum.
The electromagnetic waves stimulate collagen and elastin production in the treated area which can help tighten skin and remove fine lines.
iLux
iLux treatment unclogs and empties the meibomian glands to encourage improved production and expression of meibum into the tear film.
