Non-Surgical, Drug-Free Dry Eye Treatment
Forma-I
Forma-I is a non-surgical FDA cleared treatment to improve blood circulation in the periorbital area. This is a fantastic drug-free option to treat dry eye disease caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. Forma-I offers a compact size applicator to treat upper and lower lids. During the treatment, bi-polar radio-frequency heat ‘melts’ the oil that can clog the meibomian glands, which are responsible for lubrication and nourishment of the eye. The result is restored eye lubrication and comfort in your everyday life. This technology is truly cutting edge with safeguards in place, offering bulk heating and optimal treatment temperature in 60 seconds.
​
As a cosmetic bonus, we are also stimulating collagen and elastin production in the treatment area, which helps to address laxity and improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Forma-I can be used on any skin type and tone.
