How It Works
The Science Behind RF
Controlled Thermal Energy
A handheld RF device delivers gentle heat that penetrates beneath the skin to warm the meibomian glands from the outside in.
Liquefied Oils, Open Glands
The warmth melts hardened secretions trapped inside the glands so your tear film stabilizes and stops evaporating too quickly.
Collagen Stimulation
As a bonus, RF promotes collagen renewal in the delicate skin around your eyes — a subtle aesthetic benefit alongside dry eye relief.
What It Treats
Is RF Right for You?
RF is most effective for patients dealing with the following conditions and symptoms:
- Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD)
- Evaporative and mixed dry eye disease
- Chronic eyelid inflammation (blepharitis)
- Puffy, tired-looking eyes from poor lid health
- Patients seeking a non-light-based dry eye therapy
Who It's For
Patients wanting comfort and a refreshed look
RF is a great fit for patients with darker skin tones or sensitivities that make IPL less suitable, and for anyone who appreciates the cosmetic boost of healthier-looking lids.
