Will the Optimal Package - Work for Me?
While IPL and Optilift is an effective dry eye management solution, we want to make sure it’s right for you. We do not recommend this treatment if you:
Suffer from aqueous deficiency dry eye (rather than evaporative dry eye or meibomian gland dysfunction)
Have a history of keloid scarring
Have severe scarring around your eyes
Ultimately, your doctor is the only person who can determine whether this option is right for you. We offer extensive diagnostic options, including microscopic evaluation, fluorescein dye, and infrared meibomian gland imaging to back up our treatment suggestions. During your next appointment, ask us if you are a good candidate for Optimal Package!

What to Expect
Before Your Treatment
Prior to your treatment, you don’t need to do any special preparation. We ask that you don’t wear makeup for your treatment.
During Your Treatment
The doctor or a technician will escort the patient to the treatment room and verbally walk the patient through the procedure. After all questions are answered, Pt is prepped for the treatment.
For IPL ultrasound gel and a protective contact is placed over the eyes, and the IPL treatment is given. Most patients report very mild discomfort during the application of the pulses. After treatment, the protective shield and gel are removed and the patient is free to leave. As IPL is applied to the skin, you may experience a warm sensation. The treatment is gentle with minimum discomfort. The treatment itself will only take 10-15 minutes.
For DMst with Radio Frequency a glycerin gel is applied to the face to allow the hand piece to glide gracefully over the skin. During the treatment the patient may experience a warming sensation with slight facial twitching. Treatment takes 15 minutes and you feel relaxed and refreshed!
After Your Treatment
You may experience some redness immediately after the IPL procedure. This is to be expected. You should limit UV exposure to the treatment area for the first few days after your treatment (sunlight, tanning beds, etc.). If you are unable to avoid UV exposure, we recommend using hypoallergenic sunscreen.
After OptiLift you may experience some mild redness around treated areas.
Patient may notice a reduction in fine line and wrinkles and younger looking skin.
