Radio Frequency is a dry eye procedure that requires 3-4 initial treatments and use subdermal heat to clear obstructed meibomian glands and stimulate collagen and elastin production. This improves the function and health of the oil-producing eyelid glands, ultimately restoring a healthy tear film with less tear evaporation. As a side benefit, it also reduces fine lines and eyelid wrinkles!
Radiofrequency treatment uses heat generated by electrical currents and applies it to the inner layer of the skin around your eyes. The heat stimulates collagen production and melts any oily substances that may be blocking the meibomian glands.
When this happens, normal activity can be restored, and these glands can begin to secrete oil into your tears. This will in turn improve the symptoms of dry eye.
Radiofrequency can also reduce inflammation around your eyes and help improve symptoms of dry eyes.
Radiofrequency has also been used in dermatology and aesthetics to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
