Dry eye can significantly impact one's quality of life. We harness the latest medical technology to offer relief and improvement. Winnipeg Dry Eye Spa offers technology such as Forma and Lumecca, which stand out as cutting-edge treatments designed to address dry eye at its root, offering a new level of care for our patients.
Forma: A New Horizon in Dry Eye Treatment
Forma technology represents a groundbreaking approach to dry eye treatment. Using radio-frequency energy, Forma stimulates collagen production in the skin around the eyes, improving the meibomian glands' function. These glands are crucial for producing the tear film's oil layer, which prevents tears' rapid evaporation and ensures eye comfort.
What to Expect from Forma Treatment
During a Forma treatment session at Winnipeg Dry Eye Spa, patients can expect a non-invasive, comfortable experience. The Forma device gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen production without any downtime required after treatment.
Forma Treatment Frequency
Typically, we recommend a series of Forma treatments for optimal results, with many patients observing significant improvements after 4-6 sessions.
Side Effects of Forma Treatment
Forma boasts a safety profile known for minimal reported side effects. Some patients may experience a slight redness in the treated area, which typically subsides quickly.
Lumecca: Illuminating the Path to Dry Eye Relief
Lumecca utilizes intense pulsed light (IPL) technology, targeting the inflammation and other underlying issues contributing to dry eye. By addressing these root causes, Lumecca can reduce reliance on eye drops and other temporary measures.
What to Expect from Lumecca Treatment
Patients visiting Winnipeg Dry Eye Spa for Lumecca treatments will experience a brief, light-based therapy session. We apply the device around the eyes, focusing on areas contributing to dry eye symptoms.
Lumecca Treatment Frequency
The number of Lumecca sessions varies depending on the patient's condition, with most finding significant relief after 3-4 treatments.
Side Effects of Lumecca Treatment
Lumecca is well-tolerated by most patients, with some experiencing temporary redness or minimal discomfort during the procedure. These side effects are typically short-lived and resolve without intervention.
