OptiLIFT - Advanced Dry Eye and Facial Rejuvenation Treatment
OptiLIFT is a non-invasive, cutting-edge technology that is designed to tone the muscles around the eye to improve blinking and eyelid laxity. It is designed to treat the main causes behind dry eye while also providing facial rejuvenation benefits.
Dry Eye Relief
The OptiLIFT procedure treats the symptoms of dry eye syndrome via two mechanisms.
First, dynamic muscle stimulation (DMSt) provides gentle stimulation to the periorbital muscles to enhance muscle tone which improves your blinking function. Poor eyelid function can be found in over 60% of dry eye sufferers.
Second, radio frequency (RF) gradually heats the meibomian glands in your eyelids to help unclog them and produce a better oil product for your tears. Meibomian gland dysfunction is the number cause for dry eye disease.
Facial Rejuvenation
This non-surgical combination of DMSt and RF also enhances facial muscle tone, reduces sagging, and improves skin texture providing you with a more youthful appearance. It is ideal for patients looking for an alternative option for more agressive cosmetic procedures.
