How Does Inmode Radiofrequency (RF) Treat Dry Eyes?

Forma-I: Improves Blood Circulation Around the Eyes

Forma-I addresses the symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). 

INMODE Forma-I Radiofrequency treatment (RF) uses Radio-Frequency energy to generate heat which is applied to the skin around the eyes. This heat stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells, and stem cells to the skin around your eyes while reducing inflammation. The main benefits of RF are:

• Safely heating meibomian glands for better oil flow into the tears
• Tightening existing collagen at the dermal layer
• Stimulating the production of NEW collagen in the deeper skin layers

This treatment aids in opening up clogged meibomian glands, allowing for improved essential oils and tear quality.

Radio Frequency can also be combined with Intense Pulsed Light

How is RF different from other dry eye treatments?

While conventional therapies for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) primarily focus on the application of heat to liquefy and express inspissated meibum, radiofrequency (RF) treatment offers additional therapeutic benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects and the stimulation of neocollagenesis, which may furthermore contribute to improved meibomian gland function and overall tear film quality.

What to expect during RF therapy:

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy is a non-invasive treatment. It is applied to the periocular region and is generally well tolerated and associated with minimal discomfort. Patients typically report a relaxing, diffuse warming sensation localized to the eyelids and surrounding skin.
