Radio Frequency Dry Eye Treatment

TempSure Dry Eye is a medical-grade radiofrequency treatment that reduces the symptoms of dry eye disease. Your treatment will begin with an eyelid microexfoliation to ensure a clean surface area and increase the effectiveness of the radio frequency energy. This treatment is ideal for patients with a high melanin index or those who do not suffer from inflammation but have dry eye symptoms like MGD or blepharitis.

Problems with any of the three tear film layers can also cause dry eyes and lead to many uncomfortable and frustrating symptoms like dryness, irritation, burning, stinging, gritty sensations, along with fluctuating vision and excessive watering. Your tear film has three layers: the top layer is fat (lipid), the middle is watery (aqueous) and the bottom is mucus (mucin). This combination normally keeps the surface of your eyes well lubricated, smooth and clear. If you have any of the above symptoms or you feel daily eye strain please inquire about treatment.

This treatment is very gentle, non-invasive and safe for all skin types and symptoms. As oil and tear glands around your eyes are targeted with radiofrequency energy, cells regenerate and stimulate clogged meibomian glands to increase lubrication. This treatment triggers a natural reproduction of collagen and melts stubborn inspissated meibum, improving the integrity of the lipid layer in your tear film. It is important to begin treatment before function is completely lost or the glands begin to truncate, we can improve function but we can not restore gland loss.

Since collagen fibers are stimulated, the skin around your lids and eyes will begin to tighten and become denser, giving you improved functioning tissue. After multiple treatments you will begin to feel relief from many dry eye symptoms, at which point maintenance is recommended. If you would like to add another treatment area you are concerned about just let us know! We can always customize your treatment course, it’s never too late.
