What to Expect from Our Aesthetic Treatments

Whether you choose radiofrequency treatment or IPL therapy, both treatments are comfortable and require little to no downtime. Our team at First Optometry tailors each treatment to your unique needs:

IPL therapy targets inflammation, clears blockages, and rejuvenates the skin, improving the comfort and appearance of your eyes.
InMode radiofrequency uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen and improve tear production, leading to healthier eyes and smoother skin.

Your Radiofrequency Treatment

InMode radiofrequency treatment is a gentle therapeutic approach to relieving the gritty, achy, and tired sensations associated with dry eye. It doesn’t use needles and requires little to no downtime, so you can get right back to life after your appointment.

During your appointment, we will use radiofrequency energy to generate heat, which is applied to the skin around the eyes. This heat stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells to the skin around your eyes while reducing inflammation.

The InMode radiofrequency is minimally invasive and tailored to your individual needs.

Who Can Get Radiofrequency Treatment?

InMode radiofrequency may be used on all skin types but should not be used in the presence of autoimmune disease, pregnancy, diabetes, herpes simplex, or active inflammation.

If meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a likely cause of your dry eye, we may recommend InMode radiofrequency as part of your dry eye treatment plan. You may also want to ask us about InMode if you have:

Other signs of aging or sagging skin around the eyes you’d like to tighten
Fine lines or wrinkles around the eyes
Bags under the eyes

The Power of IPL Therapy for Aesthetics

Alongside radiofrequency treatment, Lumecca IPL uses light energy to reduce inflammation, improve tear film stability, and enhance the overall quality of your skin.

This noninvasive treatment is particularly beneficial for dry eye patients who also experience redness or irritation around the eyes. IPL therapy targets the blood vessels around the eyes, reducing inflammation that can contribute to both dry eye and visible skin concerns such as puffiness or dark circles.

The results? A more comfortable eye experience, along with visibly clearer and younger-looking skin. In addition to dry eye relief, IPL therapy provides treatment for chalazions and styes, common conditions often caused by blocked meibomian glands.
