If you're battling burning, watery, red eyes that never seem to improve—your dry eye may be more than just discomfort. It could be inflammatory in nature, caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) or rosacea-related inflammation.
Introducing MDElite IProX IPL, the latest innovation in treating Dry Eye Disease at its source. Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, we offer a comfortable, in-office treatment that addresses the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a light-based therapy that delivers precise pulses of light energy to the skin surrounding the eyes. Originally used in dermatology to treat skin conditions like rosacea and sun damage, IPL has proven highly effective in:
Reducing eyelid inflammation
Restoring proper oil gland function
Alleviating the symptoms of dry eye and ocular rosacea
The MDElite IProX system is specially calibrated for ocular use, ensuring safety and efficacy for the delicate skin around your eyes.
Patients with evaporative dry eye caused by MGD
Those with ocular rosacea or facial inflammation
Individuals with frequent styes, eyelid swelling, or Demodex
Anyone looking for a non-pharmaceutical, long-term solution to dry eyes
Reduces Inflammatory Mediators: IPL targets blood vessels and inflammatory proteins that trigger irritation
Unclogs Meibomian Glands: Reopens blocked oil glands, improving the lipid layer of your tear film
Decreases Demodex & Bacteria: IPL helps kill mites and bacteria that inflame eyelids
Improves Tear Stability: Reduces tear evaporation for longer-lasting comfort
Enhances Skin Tone: Many patients notice smoother, clearer skin around the eyes
