Symptoms
If you have any of the following symptoms, you may benefit from visiting us and trying Forma-I or Lumecca-I:
For Forma-I: bipolar radiofrequency (RF), you may have dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction, clogged tear ducts, eyelid inflammation, or sagging skin around the eyes. Forma-I can help improve tear quality and quantity, reduce inflammation and infection, and tighten and smooth the skin around the eyes.
For Lumecca-I: intense pulsed light (IPL), you may have pigmented or vascular lesions, such as age spots, sun damage, rosacea, freckles, or spider veins. Lumecca-I can help treat these conditions by delivering powerful bursts of light that heat up and destroy the unwanted pigment or blood vessels.
How Envision Works
Envision uses two different technologies to target different aspects of your eye health and appearance. Depending on your specific condition and desired outcome, we will recommend the best combination of modalities for you. Here is a brief overview of each technology and how it works:
Forma-I: This is an innovative nonsurgical procedure that delivers bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology to smaller, more delicate subdermal layers. Designed with unprecedented safety, the small size applicator, precision RF depth control, and intelligent temperature monitoring, ensure a safe non-drug alternative. Forma-I feels like a warm massage in the eye area, improving blood circulation. The small size applicator and precision RF depth control allow for treatment in small and delicate areas. Forma-I stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells and stem cells to the skin around your eyes while reducing inflammation. This treatment aids in opening up clogged meibomian glands, allowing for improved tear production and secretion. RF is usually followed by a Meibomian Gland expression.
Lumecca-I: Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) designed to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. Lumecca-I uses photothermolysis, which provides a photofacial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment. IPL has been FDA approved for more than 15 years to remove superficial skin lesions. Lumecca-I creates tissue heating which helps to reduce inflammation. During treatment there will be a bright flash of light and a sensation on your skin that feels like a light snap from an elastic band. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subside within an hour. Lumecca-I works to control the inflammatory process and to stop the vicious cycle of inflammation and to reduce the need for medications. IPL treats ocular rosacea, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Inflammatory dry eye. It has been shown to decrease demodex and bacteria around the eyelids. The powerful bursts of light also close off blood vessels that release inflammation in ocular rosacea.
What Benefits Envision Can Provide
Envision can provide a range of benefits for your eye health and appearance, depending on your specific condition and desired outcome. Some of the benefits include:
Improved tear quality and quantity, reducing dry eye symptoms and enhancing vision and comfort
Reduced inflammation, redness, and irritation in the eyes and eyelids, improving eye health and appearance
Decreased demodex and bacteria around the eyelids, preventing infections and complications
Increased collagen and elastin production, smoothing wrinkles and eliminating dark spots for younger looking eyes
Enhanced skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, improving skin quality and appearance
Contoured and lifted skin around the eyes, creating a more defined and youthful look
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
We will recommend the ideal number of sessions to be performed based on your personal condition. Treatment times and frequency will be specifically tailored to obtain the optimal results. Typically, patients see noticeable improvements after one or two sessions, and achieve the best results after three to six sessions. The results are long-lasting and can be maintained with regular follow-up treatments.
What Kind of Post-Procedure Care Is Required?
Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction typically resolves within a few hours. There is no recovery period or downtime associated with these procedures. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, you should avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen for at least two weeks after the treatment. You should also keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. We will give you more specific instructions on how to care for your skin after the treatment.
What Can I Expect?
All treatments are performed right in our clinic. As a result, there is no general anesthesia, no incisions, or downtime that is associated with excisional interventions. Most clients find the treatments very comfortable and relaxing. You will be asked to wear protective eyewear during the treatment. We will apply a cooling gel on your skin and gently glide the applicator over the treatment area. You may feel a warm sensation or a light snap on your skin, depending on the modality used. The treatment time varies depending on the size and condition of the area, but it usually takes between 15 to 30 minutes. After the treatment, we will apply a soothing cream on your skin and give you some post-care instructions.
