Envision by Inmode RF and IPL for Dry Eye Treatment

Now Offering Advance Dry Eye Treatment with Envision by Inmode

Dry eye disease is often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), where the oil glands in the eyelids become blocked or do not function properly. This leads to rapid evaporation of tears and chronic discomfort. Traditional treatments include artificial tears, warm compresses, and medications. However, advanced technologies like

InMode Envision RF and IPL offer innovative, non-invasive options for managing dry eye, especially when related to MGD.

​​​​​​​What is InMode Envision?

InMode Envision is a platform that combines two technologies:

• RF (Radiofrequency) with Forma-I

• IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) with Lumecca-I

Both are FDA-cleared for use around the eyes and are designed to treat the root causes of dry eye disease.

How Do RF and IPL Help Dry Eye?

1. Forma-I (Radiofrequency)
   1. Mechanism:Uses gentle radiofrequency energy to heat the eyelids.
   2. Effect:This heat melts the thickened oils in the Meibomian glands, making it easier to express them and restore normal oil flow to the tear film.
   3. Benefits: Also stimulates collagen production, improving eyelid skin health and potentially reducing eyelid laxity.
2. Lumecca-I (Intense Pulsed Light)
   1. Mechanism: Delivers pulses of light to the skin around the eyes.
   2. Effect: Reduces inflammation by targeting abnormal blood vessels and decreases bacterial load, both of which are common in MGD and rosacea-related dry eye.
   3. Benefits: Improves tear film stability and reduces symptoms of dry eye.
