Provo’s Most Advanced Methods for Treating Dry Eye
Finding effective treatment for dry eye can be challenging, especially given the environmental factors and modern lifestyle challenges that exacerbate the condition. In Utah, dealing with dry air, high elevation, allergens, and more can significantly worsen dry eye symptoms, making daily discomfort even more pronounced. With specialized attention from the eye doctors at Eye Clinic & Aesthetics of Provo, patients can now access revolutionary approaches to dry eye treatment.
Where artificial tears and over-the-counter medications fail, at Eye Clinic & Aesthetics of Provo, patients can find long-term relief from dry eye symptoms with technology like autologous serum tears and our TempSure Envi treatment.
What is TempSure Envi?
The TempSure Envi device has emerged as a promising solution for providing lasting relief from uncomfortable dry eye symptoms. The device uses radiofrequency energy to target areas around the eyes, delivering gentle heat that can effectively address blockages in the meibomian glands. It was initially developed as an aesthetic technology, but its therapeutic applications have proven to be highly effective.
Meibomian Gland Disease (MBD) is the leading cause of dry eye and ocular discomfort, and it is now treatable with radiofrequency! TempSure Envi is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment that safely and effectively treats baggy and dry eyes for a smoother, healthier-looking appearance and increased ocular muscle functionality. By promoting healthy tear production, the device helps to combat the underlying issues contributing to dry eye, such as inadequate tear production or excessive tear evaporation frequently layered with ICON IPL for enhanced results.
Benefits of TempSure Envi Treatments
How Does TempSure Envi Work?
By safely delivering a radiofrequency to heat your skin, TempSure Envi triggers the body’s natural healing responses to produce new collagen. These new collagen fibers are tighter and denser. As a result, excess skin in the lower or upper eyelid is reduced, and ocular muscles are rejuvenated for improved functionality.
This technology brings the two aspects of our practice together to produce relief for our patients and exceptional outcomes overall.
If you suffer from dry eye syndrome you should consider treatment with TempSure Envi at the Eye Clinic & Aesthetics of Provo. TempSure Envi stimulates flow to clogged oil glands, called meibomian glands, to produce healthier secretions, which help tears more effectively lubricate the surface of the eye. Improved lubrication decreases the symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome. Contact our team today to discuss your options and schedule an appointment.
Provo’s Dry Eye Treatment FAQs
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common culprit of dry eye disease. Often, it can lead to blocked or inflamed oil glands in the eyelids, hindering the lubrication necessary for tear retention. While traditional treatments like eye drops may offer temporary relief, a more long-term solution may involve unblocking the meibomian glands and restoring proper tear production.
With the innovative approach of TempSure Envi, individuals can potentially experience significant improvements in dry eye symptoms by enhancing the functionality of their tear ducts and addressing the root causes of Meibomian Gland Disease. Consultation with experts at the Eye Clinic & Aesthetics of Provo can provide tailored care and additional support for managing dry eye.
When you come in for your consultation, Dr. Smith or Dr. Lewis and their team of master aestheticians will discuss your goals to create a custom treatment plan for you. During your treatment, you will experience a gentle warming sensation around the target area(s). After your treatment, our master aestheticians will provide recommendations to care for your rejuvenated skin and glands.
There is usually only a slight amount of redness on the skin after the therapy, which quickly subsides. Immediately following your treatment, you will be able to return to your daily activities. That’s right–there is zero downtime!
Treatments last about 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. There is no downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately.
We recommend a series of treatments and regular maintenance appointments to help your body counteract the loss of collagen and meibomian gland function that is part of the natural aging process. The number of treatments will be determined by your doctor.
TempSure Envi works on all skin types so almost everyone is a candidate. Treatments are primarily recommended to patients who experience skin laxity (looseness) around the eyes, baggy eyes, and dry eyes. We love this radiofrequency device because it can treat the smaller, more delicate areas on the face.
TempSure Envi has been carefully designed with comfort in mind. Radiofrequency provides a pleasant and effective treatment every time. Most of our patients describe the treatment as comfortable.
Instantly! You will walk away from your appointment with a natural glow and what many patients describe as a “tighter” feeling.
