What is OptiPLUS RF?

OptiPLUS RF by Lumenis is a clinically backed technology designed specifically for the delicate contours of the eyes. It delivers targeted heat to the meibomian glands while enhancing collagen production using unique dual-frequency RF technology.

Combination Therapy for Ultimate Relief

Experience the power of dual-action therapy. OptiLight IPL targets the root cause of dry eye by reducing inflammation and addressing abnormal blood vessels, while OptiPLUS RF stimulates the meibomian glands and boosts collagen production for long-lasting relief. Together, they provide a comprehensive solution for dry eye sufferers.

How Radiofrequency Can Help Alleviate Dry Eye Symptoms

The meibomian glands are responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film, which prevents evaporation. When these glands become blocked or dysfunctional (a condition known as Meibomian Gland Dysfunction or MGD), it can lead to evaporative dry eye. Radiofrequency (RF) technology delivers targeted heat to the eyelids, helping to unblock the meibomian glands and restore normal function. This heat also stimulates collagen production, improving the overall health and structure of the eyelids.

Frequently Asked Question

Is RF treatment right for me?

OptiPlus Radio Frequency is ideal for patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. If you have not yet discovered the cause of your dry eye, please call to schedule an appointment with us We will then discuss the best course of treatment for you.

What can I expect?

OptiPlus RF is a comfortable, safe procedure that doesn’t have any downtime. Some patients report that it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage. After the procedure, you might have slight redness which is caused by your skin’s elevated temperatures during treatment and will subside soon afterward. You will be able to return to normal daily activities immediately!

How long does the treatment take, and how many do I need?

It’s typically completed in less than 20 mins! Because MGD varies in severity for each patient, multiple treatments are ideal to achieve optimal results. Your doctor will recommend four treatments spaced about 2- 4 weeks apart to allow for the glands to begin flowing once again. The time between treatments will also allow time for your skin’s collagen to restore and rebuild elasticity before treating the area again.

Are there any side effects?

Patients may sometimes experience redness and slight swelling of the skin after a procedure. The redness typically fades within a few hours. A happy side effect many patients get is a smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles around their eyes as the collagen in the skin rebuilds in the treatment area.
