Modern Aesthetic Treatments
At Watson Dry Eye Center, we’re dedicated to researching and offering modern eye care and aesthetic treatments. Radiofrequency (RF) treatment is a versatile option that can use gentle electrical energy and heat to address both dry eyes and various skin concerns.
This noninvasive approach offers a safe and effective solution for achieving both improved eye comfort and attaining a more youthful appearance.
Contact us to schedule your consultation today and learn more about how RF treatments could help you get relief from dry eyes and achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Is Radiofrequency Treament?
Radiofrequency treatments use high-frequency electrical currents to heat the skin. This energy can stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that plays a crucial role in maintaining skin elasticity and structure.
In the context of dry eye treatment, RF treatments can target the meibomian glands located in your eyelids. These glands are responsible for producing oils that help keep your tears stable and prevent evaporation. By stimulating the meibomian glands with RF treatments, we can help improve their function and release trapped oils, which can lead to lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
Are You a Good Candidate for Radiofrequency?
If you experience chronic dry eye symptoms, like scratchiness, irritation, or fluctuating vision, you may be a good candidate for RF treatment. Additionally, RF skin treatments can be ideal for those seeking to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loose skin
- Uneven skin tones
- Rosacea
During your consultation, Dr. Watson will assess your individual needs and help you determine if RF treatments are the right approach for you.
Conditions RF Can Help Treat
Radiofrequency can help treat and manage a variety of conditions. During a consultation, our team will work with you to determine your needs, help you explore how radiofrequency treatments work, and determine whether they can benefit you.
The specific potential conditions RF treatments can address range from dry eye disease to other skin concerns. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to ask us during your consultation.
Dry Eye Disease
Some RF treatments can help improve meibomian gland function, leading to reduced tear evaporation and lasting relief from dry eye symptoms. RF treatment can be particularly beneficial for those with evaporative dry eye, a condition where the meibomian glands are dysfunctional and fail to produce enough oil to stop your tears from evaporating too quickly.
Rosacea
RF treatments can help reduce facial redness and inflammation associated with rosacea. The precise heat can target dilated blood vessels and help calm your body’s inflammatory response, helping create a noticeable improvement in rosacea symptoms.
Loose Skin, Wrinkles, & Smile Lines
By stimulating collagen production, RF treatments can tighten and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and smile lines. This can result in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Skin Discoloration & Uneven Skin Tones
RF treatments can improve the appearance of uneven skin tones and reduce the appearance of sun damage. By stimulating cell regeneration and breaking down extra melanin, RF treatments can help you achieve a more balanced and radiant complexion.
TempSure Envi
At Watson Dry Eye Center, we primarily use the TempSure Envi by Cynosure for our RF treatments. This versatile platform can deliver precise and comfortable radiofrequency energy, making it ideal for treating both dry eye and various skin concerns. The TempSure Envi allows for customized treatment parameters to prioritize results for each patient’s individual needs.
Potenza
For advanced skin rejuvenation needs, we may incorporate the Potenza by Cynosure. This innovative device combines RF energy with microneedling to create micro-channels in the skin. This helps stimulate collagen production at a deeper level, further enhancing skin tightening and rejuvenation.
Microneedling also creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, smoother skin.
Microneedling can also help reduce puffiness in your skin by promoting lymphatic drainage.
What We Use
Our team at Watson Dry Eye Center is always looking for ways to provide patients with innovative solutions for their dry eye and aesthetic needs. We use different radiofrequency devices at Watson Dry Eye Center, including TempSure Envi and Potenza by Cynosure, a device that combines RF and microneedling technology.
