Understanding IPL Therapy

What is IPL therapy?

IPL therapy is a light-based treatment for dry eye conditions and styes, improving tear quality with full face aesthetic benefits as well.

How does it work?

It uses specific light wavelengths to reduce inflammation, which aids in oil gland function and eye lubrication.

Who can benefit from IPL therapy?

Anyone suffering from dry eyes or styes may benefit, especially those with meibomian gland dysfunction or inflammation.

Is the treatment painful?

The majority of patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Most patients describe the feeling as a tiny, quick snap — noticeable but very tolerable and gone right away.

What results can I expect?

Improved eye lubrication and reduced symptoms of dryness and styes are common outcomes. Patients usually report an improvement after the second or third session.

How many sessions are required?

Sessions: A typical treatment protocol consists of four sessions spaced two to four weeks apart.

Maintenance: To sustain the beneficial results, maintenance sessions are recommended every six to twelve months, with the exact frequency depending on your symptoms.

What are the potential side effects?

Common side effects are temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort or a warm sensation during and after the procedure.

Would I benefit from this treatment even if I don't have dry eyes?

Yes, you can have Optilight IPL on your face even without dry eyes, as IPL was originally developed for dermatological purposes and can treat conditions like rosacea, sun damage, and improve overall skin tone and texture. It improves the appearance of sun spots, freckles, and other forms of hyperpigmentation.

It is a customizable treatment that can offer aesthetic benefits such as reducing skin redness, improving skin texture, and stimulating collagen production for healthier, more resilient skin.

Treatment protocol is the same as for dry eyes which typically consists of 4 sessions 2-4 weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 6-12 months, with the exact frequency depending on appearance and symptoms.
