InMode’s radiofrequency (RF) therapy is a modern approach to managing dry eye, ideal for patients with MGD or those who haven’t found relief with other treatments. RF gently heats eyelid tissue to stimulate the meibomian glands, promoting healthier oil production and reducing blockages. This enhances natural tear
production and reduces inflammation around the eyes, offering effective, long-lasting relief. Bayhead Eye Centre in Sanford, FL, provides this quick, comfortable, and non-invasive treatment to bring our patients better eye comfort and health.
Frequently Asked Questions
Radiofrequency (RF) therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses gentle heat energy to warm the eyelids and surrounding tissue. This heat helps stimulate the oil glands in the eyelids (meibomian glands), improving oil flow into the tear film and helping relieve symptoms of dry eye.
Many cases of dry eye are caused by blocked or poorly functioning oil glands. RF therapy delivers controlled heat to the eyelids, helping to soften hardened oils and encourage healthier gland function. This improves tear stability and can reduce symptoms like burning, irritation, redness, and fluctuating vision.
Yes. RF treatment for dry eye is designed to be safe and comfortable when performed by trained professionals. Protective measures are used to safeguard the eyes during treatment, and most patients experience only a gentle warming sensation during the procedure.
Most patients describe the treatment as relaxing and similar to a warm facial massage around the eyes. The procedure is typically comfortable and takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on the treatment plan recommended by your doctor.
The number of treatments can vary depending on the severity of your dry eye and your doctor’s recommendation. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart, with periodic maintenance sessions to support long-term gland health.
