INMODE Lumecca Intense Pulse Light Treatment (IPL)
INMODE Lumecca Intense Pulse Light treatment (IPL) at Eyes on Park works to control the inflammatory process and to stop the vicious cycle of inflammation, reducing the need for medications. IPL treats ocular rosacea, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Inflammatory dry eye. It has been shown to decrease demodex and bacteria around the eyelids. The powerful bursts of light also close off blood vessels that release inflammation in ocular rosacea.
INMODE Forma Radiofrequency Treatment (RF)
INMODE Forma Radiofrequency treatment (RF) uses Radio-Frequency energy to generate heat, 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. This treatment aids in opening up clogged meibomian glands, allowing for improved tear production and secretion, effectively addressing Dry Eyes. RF is usually followed by a Meibomian Gland expression. IPL and RF reverse the signs of aging by stimulating collagen production, giving you younger-looking eyes.
