NEXT-GENERATION TECHNOLOGY
The iProX- Intense Pulsed Light is a revolutionary energy-based therapeutic option for the treatment of dry eye, Meibomian gland dysfunction, chalazion and blepharitis. Most individuals benefit from four sessions, spaced two to four weeks apart. Additional sessions may be needed for pronounced symptoms.
MULTIPLE BENEFITS
Treats the underlying cause of dry eye disease yielding lasting results and relief from symptoms. Painless in-office treatment. Unclogs Meibomian glands which stimulates natural flow of oil into tears and improves tear quality. Reduces inflammation. Kills Demodex mites that cause blepharitis.
IPROX MISSION
IPL is used to target the root causes of dry eye. The focus of IPL treatment is primarily on the Meibomian glands, which are responsible for producing the oily layer of the tear film that helps prevent evaporation of tears. IPL treatment uses pulsed light to stimulate the Meibomian glands. This process revives gland metabolism and lessens eyelid inflammation. The outcome is better tear quality and fewer symptoms of dry eyes.
