Lumecca-I IPL

What is Lumecca-I (IPL) Treatment?

Lumecca-I uses gentle pulses of light to treat the underlying causes of dry eye. Its a painless procedure done in an optometrist's office.  

IPL targets the skin around the eyes, reducing inflammation and any bacterial growth in the area around your eyes. The light helps break the buildup of oil or other debris blocking the meibomian glands that produce oil for tears.
 

What does Lumecca-I treat?

IPL treatments help to treat meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) and Ocular Rosacea.

MGD is a common cause of dry eye that can become a chronic, cyclical condition. Inflammation is a root cause of MGD, and its presence causes the eyes to create compromised tear film, which leads to more inflammation.

Ocular rosacea is inflammation that causes redness, burning and itching of the eyes. It often develops in people who have rosacea, a chronic skin condition that affects the face. Sometimes ocular (eye) rosacea is the first sign that you may later develop the facial type.

Several treatments for MGD and Ocular Rosacea exist, but none, including IPL treatment, are completely curative. This means that you’ll need repeated treatments with IPL to continue symptom improvement."
