If you suffer from dry eye, talk to your doctor about TempSure® Envi treatment. Most people with dry eye have meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). This is a condition where tear glands become blocked.
TempSure Envi is an effective and comfortable way to unblock clogged oil glands. In addition to relieving your dry eye eye symptoms, this procedure can also induce natural collagen production which results in the reduction in appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
TempSure Envi uses radio-frequency energy to gently warm the areas around your eye and heat your Meibomian Glands to 41 degrees Celsius. This helps stimulate the oil glands to release trapped oils in the eyelids. Raising the skin temperature also generates collagen production, which lessens the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
Oil is a one of three vital layers required for healthy tears and the TempSure Envi can produce long-lasting relief for people with dry eye syndrome.
TempSure Envi is a safe, effective and noninvasive way to treat dry eye. The noninvasive technique helps reduce the need for medications and other invasive treatments. This procedure is done in office without the need for topical anesthetics and patients can continue with their daily activities immediately after treatment - there is no down time!
During your treatment, you’ll feel a gentle warming sensation around your eyes. Patients have reported that the treatment feels similar to a relaxing hot stone massage. The procedure is painless, but you can expect slight redness in the area immediately after treatment which diminishes quickly.
TempSure Envi treatment is ideal for all skin types and skin tones. Everyone can be a candidate. Meibomian Gland Meibography (imaging of the meibomian glands) is done prior to the treatment to ensure someone is a candidate for this procedure.
The number of treatments of TempSure Envi will be determined at your Dry Eye Consultation. During your consultation our doctors will assess your eye or skin condition to create a customized treatment plan. On average patients require 4-7 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. You will need regular maintenance sessions for long-term results.
