IPL Therapy’s Dry Eye & Cosmetic Benefits

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that can cause great discomfort, impacting a person’s quality of life. Fortunately, at Key Whitman Eye Center, we offer a cutting-edge treatment, FDA-approved to treat dry eyes known as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy. The great news is IPL has not only been found to be effective in improving dry eye symptoms, but it also has cosmetic benefits as well!

IPL therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that is ideal for those whom artificial tears are not enough to manage their dry eye symptoms. The IPL treatment works by using specialized light therapy to unclog blocked meibomian glands and reduce inflammation in order to increase the production of tear-protecting oils, moisturizing the eyes and reducing the symptoms. Often times, the IPL therapy is combined with another treatment called LipiFlow, which uses localized warmth and massage to help unblock the clogged meibomian glands, to more fully address one of the leading causes of dry eye.

In addition to the effectiveness of IPL in remedying dry eye syndrome, this treatment has ideal cosmetic benefits as well. IPL therapy reduces the appearance of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or age spots on the face as well as treats rosacea. It works by emitting a broad spectrum of light energy that penetrates deep into the skin tissues, stimulating collagen production, and promoting skin cell renewal. The result is smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
