Eye Spa
Could a greater miracle exist than for us to look through each other’s eyes for just an instant?
– Henry David Thoreau -
Eye spa
Our vision is undoubtedly one of our most important senses and is produced by a complex system beginning with the eyelashes and ending in the visual cortex of the brain.
If you suffer from chronic dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction, styes, or chronically tired, irritated eyes, you know that there is far more to comfortable vision than just seeing.
The Eye Spa is a comprehensive program to help patients suffering from chronically painful, dry, irritated, and fatigued eyes that incorporates relaxing and soothing in-office treatments with home regimens that improve comfort, vision, and quality of life.
Your Eye Spa experience will be tailored to your individual eye issues and is beneficial for a wide range of conditions that affect the front surface of the eye. We have found that treating these conditions in a spa environment is more conducive to healing and a far more pleasant and relaxing experience than incorporating them into the regular eye clinic schedule.
Dry Eye IPL Treatment
What is IPL
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, a treatment that uses strong pulses of light to treat underlying meibomian gland dysfunction and chronic dry eye syndrome.
Other benefits include, treating various skin conditions/ issues, such as acne, rosacea, broken blood vessels, aging and pigmentation, etc.
Does it Hurt?
That varies on your pain threshold. Most people describe it as the sensation compared to that of an elastic-band flick, but it goes so quickly, you’ll barely have time to register it.
Dry Eye Syndrome
How does it work?
Who is Good Candidate
You may be a good candidate for an IPL treatment if any of the following apply to:
- Dissatisfied with your overall skin appearance
- Abnormal skin pigmentation
- Aging – Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Broken blood vessels
- Acne
- Chronic dry eyes
LOW LEVEL LIGHT THERAPY
Experience relief from dry eyes and discomfort with our innovative low-level light therapy (LLLT) treatment. LLLT offers a non-invasive and gentle approach to alleviate dry eye symptoms effectively.
By targeting inflammation and promoting cellular rejuvenation in the eyes, LLLT helps restore moisture and soothe irritation, providing lasting relief from dryness, redness, and irritation.
Say goodbye to constant discomfort and hello to refreshed, comfortable eyes.
RED LIGHT
Inflammation Reduction and ATP Production Stimulus
- Improves cells metabolism due to increased ATP production within mitochondria.
- Reduces inflammation by regulating antioxidant defenses and reducing oxidative stress.
- Light-induced activation of transcription factors and signaling pathways.
- When a 15-minute treatment is applied, the total fluence in the treated area is up to 100 Joules/cm2.
BLUE LIGHT
Effective for Bacterial Eradication
- Blue light’s energy is absorbed by molecules known as porphyrins present in bacteria, initiating photosensitization.
- Exposure to this light induces photodynamic inactivation, a process wherein bacteria are destroyed by light.
- Porphyrin molecules bound to the cell membrane produce singlet oxygen radicals, causing harm or disruption to the cell wall of various gram-positive bacteria, leading to their demise.
- Bacteria possess relatively feeble defense mechanisms against singlet oxygen, which amplifies the effectiveness of photodynamic inactivation.
YELLOW LIGHT
Skin Tightening & Alleviation of Swelling
- Yellow light impacts mitochondrial respiration, elevating ATP production.
- Facilitates the release of nitric oxide, aiding in neurotransmission and tissue healing.
- Mitigates the inflammatory response by diminishing edema.
- Enhances skin suppleness while reducing metalloproteinase activity.
- Stimulates fibroblast activity, promoting the production of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis for reducing wrinkles.
NEar infrared light therapy
- Enhanced Cellular Repair: NIL therapy penetrates deeply into tissues, stimulating cellular repair and regeneration. This can accelerate healing processes, tissue repair, and muscle recovery.
- Pain Relief: NIL therapy has analgesic properties, helping to reduce pain and discomfort associated with various conditions such as arthritis, muscle strains, and neuropathy. Targets inflammation and promotes the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers.
- Improved Circulation: NIL therapy enhances blood circulation by dilating blood vessels and increasing the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. Benefit individuals with circulatory issues by improving tissue oxygenation and promoting overall cardiovascular health.
- Enhanced Brain Function: Near-infrared light has shown potential in improving cognitive function and mental clarity. It can stimulate the production of ATP in brain cells, leading to improved energy metabolism.
When Will I See Results
It is common to have results even after one treatment.
Usually a series of 3 or 4 treatments help to keep results lasting.
After a series of 4 treatments you may need another treatment after 6-12 months.
