For dry eyes
Radio Frequency (RF)
What is radio frequency?
Radio frequency (RF) treatment is a medical procedure that uses energy waves to heat the deep layers of your skin. In combination with IPL it provides painless, deeper penetration of not only the treatment area but surrounding areas to reduce inflammation.How radio frequency (RF) helps with dry eye:
RF treatment for dry eyes targets the meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film that prevents tear evaporation. By applying radio frequency energy, the treatment can:
- Unblock meibomian glands, promoting better tear quality.
- Stimulate gland function, improving the secretion of oils and reducing dry eye symptoms.
- Improve circulation, potentially aiding in the overall health and function of the glands.
Benefits of RF for dry eye:
RF provides an innovative approach to managing dry eye syndrome by addressing the root causes of meibomian gland dysfunction. When treating for dry eyes, RF:
- Is gentle and painless with no downtime.
- Stimulates collagen production, improving skin elasticity and gland function for healthier tear production.
- May reduce the need for artificial tears or other medications.
- Provides long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms for many patients.
- Reduces dryness, irritation, and blurry vision for a more comfortable daily life.
What to expect during treatment:
RF treatments are generally safe and minimally invasive. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect:
- Preparation: We will ask you to wash your face, and then we will apply eye shields to protect your eyes during the procedure. We will then apply a layer of gel to enhance the device’s effectiveness.
- Procedure: The device is moved over the skin, delivering RF waves to the targeted area. You may feel a warming sensation.
- Duration: Sessions typically last from 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Recovery: There is minimal downtime, and you can usually return to your daily activities immediately after.
- If combining RF with IPL, please refer to the “Post-Procedure Instructions” sheet provided to you.

The result of the radio frequency treatment is that once the treatment takes effect, your skin appears tighter. The new skin cells and proteins take some time to grow. It can take up to 2-6 months for the results to show up, though some patients are able to see results after a single session!
Once the radio frequency treatment has tightened your skin, the effects of a single session can last for up to 6-12 months—or even longer, depending on factors like your age, skin condition, and skincare routine.
