RF (Radio Frequency) Treatment

What Is It?

In our office we use the TempSure Envi machine by CynoSure.

For Dry Eye:
Radio Frequency (RF) treatment targets and rejuvenates the meibomian glands responsible for causing ocular surface disease (dry eye syndrome). It is the only technology we know of that reawakens glands that have stopped functioning. RF treatment gently and comfortably stimulates their ability to keep your tear film hydrated. Eyes feel comfortable and dry eye symptoms are improved or resolved.

For Skin:
RF treatment heats the skin for a specific duration of time which triggers the body’s natural collagen production response. This increase in collagen plumps and firms the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Skin appears firmer and more plump, without surgery, injections, or harmful toxins.

How Does It Work?

Using radio frequency waves we gently heat the skin for a set duration which produces a regenerative response in the body. This response reactivates meibomian glands into functioning (treating dry eye) and when applied to the skin reactives fibroblast cells into producing collagen. This response takes full effect 3 months after treatment.

What Are The Results?

Improved or resolved dry eye symptoms and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles on the area(s) treated. The meibomian glands on the eye begin to produce oil which holds the tear film on the eye in place, keeping eyes hydrated and comfortable. The collagen that is produced plumps and firms the skin. Skin appears more youthful and rejuvenated. You will walk out of the office with an instant glow, your skin feeling firmer and plumped.

Once it has been established that you are a candidate for treatment we book you an appointment with our RF specialist. Treatment lasts anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on the area(s) chosen to treat. You will be lying down and the RF wand massaged in a continuous movement to heat the skin. The sensation has been described as that of a hot stone massage. Post-treatment you might find skin slightly reddened but there is no downtime - you can continue on with your day right after leaving the office. The areas we treat in-office are the eyes, face and neck.
