Envision by InMode
Find relief for tired, dry, itchy eyes in Santa Monica.
Envision by InMode is a non-surgical alternative to treat the causes of dry eye. The treatment offers a non-drug therapy to improve vision and quality of life.
The Envision treatment utilizes specific techniques to address dry eye symptoms and improve overall eye health. These two components are utilized for the Envision treatment: Radio Frequency (RF), and Intense Pulse Light (IPL).
Radio Frequency (RF): Forma-I:
Non-invasive and FDA-approved procedure that stimulates the meibomian glands to improve tear production. Heat energy melts the thick oil secretions that are clogging the meibomian glands. By breaking up the clogged oils, RF allows the oils to flow and prevent rapid evaporation of tears that can cause dry eye symptoms.
Intense Pulse Light (IPL) Therapy: Lumecca
A key component in the Envision treatment. This in-office treatment uses wavelengths of light to reduce inflammation around the eyes and improve the function of the oil-producing meibomian glands. By unclogging the oil glands, IPL therapy helps to better lubricate the eyes and alleviate dry eye symptoms.
