Envision InMode IPL & RF Treatment for Dry Eye & Aging Skin in Van Alstyne, TX

ENVISION INMODE Lumecca Intense Pulse Light treatment (IPL)

ENVISION INMODE Lumecca Intense Pulse Light treatment (IPL) works to control the inflammatory process and to stop the vicious cycle of inflammation and to reduce the need for medications. IPL delivers pulses of light to the skin and creates tissue heating to help reduce redness and inflammation we often see present along the face, nose, cheek area. IPL treats ocular rosacea, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (oil gland issues), and Inflammatory dry eye. It has been shown to decrease demodex and bacteria around the eyelids. During treatment, a specialized handpiece emits flashes of light that penetrate the skin and activate the meibomian glands and minimizing those unwanted blood vessels.

INMODE Forma Radiofrequency treatment (RF)

Forma-I is a nonsurgical procedure that delivers bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to smaller, more delicate subdermal layers. The small size applicator and the intelligent temperature monitoring ensure a safe non-drug alternative. It will feel like a warm stone massage in the eye area and will improve blood circulation to promote collagen production and tightening of the skin around the eyes. The heat delivered to the eyes will help with melting the oil (meibum) produced within the glands to help improve your natural tears. Forma-I can also help with the reduction of styes and chalazion.

IPL and RF can reverse the signs of aging by stimulating collagen production by smoothing wrinkles and eliminate dark spots for younger looking eyes.
