So you’re tired of suffering from dry eye symptoms such as dry, itchy, burning eyes. You might be performing a search for “Optometrist near me” to get a dry eye assessment or to ask about dry eye treatments. If you’ve already tried all the artificial tears, warm compresses, and steroid eye drops, your optometrist may recommend looking into RF and IPL treatment for dry eyes.
Inmode Forma Radiofrequency (RF) and Inmode Lumecca Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Treatments both have a quick, same-day recovery, procedure time with immediate results, and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. IPL and RF Treatment will treat Dry Eye Syndrome at the source by:

Lumecca IPL technology differs from Forma (RF) treatment. It uses controlled light to target blood vessels in the facial tissues. Forma RF, on the other hand, delivers radiofrequency energy to the Meibomian gland.
These two treatments are customizable to the cause of your dry eyes. The heat from RF will kill off harmful bacteria and warm-up clogged glands so tears and oils can flow freely. RF is an excellent option for those who are looking for immediate relief from clogged glands. IPL can be paired with RF but essentially works to target inflamed or abnormal blood vessels that are impacting your tear production.
While both treatments can be used in conjunction with one another, IPL treatment is best for those who are experiencing symptoms associated with inflammation. Cosmetic benefits of IPL include:
