What is IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Therapy?

OptiLIGHT IPL is a light-based treatment that uses precise, intense broad spectrum light to address signs of dry eye disease due to meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). MGD is the most common cause of dry eye disease, accounting for about 86% of cases.

Most existing treatments for dry eye treat the symptoms but not the underlying condition. This is where OptiLIGHT IPL is different.

The treatment addresses inflammation, which is one of the key underlying factors in MGD. OptiLIGHT was specifically developed to reach the delicate contours of the treated area safely, effectively, and gently using the OPT™ technology. It is intended for use in patients who are at least 22 years old, together with other available treatments, such as Meibomian gland expression, artificial tear lubricants, and warm compresses.

Specifically designed for the delicate area below the eye, IPL safely and effectively breaks the vicious cycle of inflammation associated with dry eye.

What can I expect from IPL therapy treatment?

4 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.
Each session usually takes only 10-15 minutes.

OptiLIGHT is applied on the skin
below the eyes and is non-invasive.

During treatment, your practitioner will cover
your eyes with shields and apply a thin layer of coupling gel on the treatment area.

You may experience a warm sensation as
light is applied to the skin. The treatment is
gentle with minimal discomfort.

You can return to your daily activities
and apply makeup straight away in most cases.

Patients usually report an improvement
after the 2nd or 3rd session.

When can I expect to see an improvement from IPL?

Treatment protocol typically consists of 4 sessions, at 2 to 4 weeks apart.

Each session takes only 10-15 minutes. There is no downtime, you can resume your daily activities immediately.

Patients typically report improvement after 2 to 3 treatments. For optimal results, 4 sessions are advised. To ensure long-term results, a maintenance session is recommended every 6-12 months.

You may experience some redness immediately following treatment. This will usually disappear within a few hours. You can return to your daily activities and apply makeup straight away in most cases. You will be advised to stay out of direct sunlight for a few days and to apply sunscreen.
