Forma–I is a non–surgical FDA cleared treatment to improve blood circulation in the periorbital area. This is a fantastic drug–free option to treat dry eye disease caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Forma–I offers a compact size applicator to treat upper and lower lids. During the treatment, bi–polar radio–frequency heat ‘melts’ the oil that can clog the Meibomian glands, which are responsible for lubrication and nourishment of the eye. The result is restored eye lubrication and comfort in your everyday life. This technology is truly cutting edge with safeguards in place, offering bulk heating and optimal treatment temperature in 60 seconds.
As a cosmetic bonus, we are also stimulating collagen and elastin production in the treatment area, which helps to address laxity and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Forma-I can be used on any skin type and tone.
During your treatment you will experience a warming sensation with some mild pressure. Most patients find this treatment very relaxing and comfortable.
While each treatment plan is customized based on your needs, we recommend a series of 4 monthly treatments.
Lumecca–I is an intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment that is FDA-approved for treatment of pigment and vascularity. Lumecca–I has been specifically designed with a spot–size precision applicator to treat the periorbital area to reduce inflammation of the eye, meibomian gland dysfunction, and osmolarity of the tear film to address dry eye symptoms.
Lumecca–I treatment delivers up to 3 times more energy than other IPLs. It’s a comfortable treatment and there is no downtime. It can also be used for full face treatments to address rosacea, sun damage, and improve skin tone.
