Best Dry Eye Treatment (for Rapid Improvements)

Radio Frequency treatments are considered to be an advanced solution that delivers rapid improvements for dry eye symptoms

This FDA approved medical cosmetic therapy has been used for over 20 years, with a longstanding history within dermatology and cosmetic aesthetics.

How does it improve your symptoms? It prevents tear evaporation by unclogging and opening your eyes oil glands from the heat created by the low energy radiation. When your eyes oil glands are at optimal functionality, you will have more oil in your tears. This helps to retain moisture, prevents tear evaporation and improves dry eyes, which can have a huge impact on your day.

If you suffer from burning eyes, vision fluctuations, difficulty wearing contact lenses, overly watery eyes, irritated & itchy eyes or a number of other dry eye symptoms, radio frequency treatments can benefit you.

Why REO Recommends Radio Frequency Treatments:

Gentle Warming. A handheld, radio frequency device creates a gentle warming effect on your skin and to the oil glands within your eyelids — it feels like a hot stone massage.
Safe For All Skin Types. In fact, it is the first non-laser treatment that can be adjusted to customize the depth of skin layer targeted and the degree of skin resurfacing based on individual patient needs. Also, the treatments can be enjoyed year round, regardless of tan or skin color.
It’s Fast. Radio frequency treatment is comfortable, safe, non-invasive, and fast — it can take as little as 30 minutes!
Non-Invasive. This means no needles, no surgery and no downtime! You can get right back to your day without any hesitation.
Instant Results. Patients experience instant gratification with maximum results taking place over 4-6 weeks. For optimal dry eye results, 3-4 treatments are commonly spread out over 2-3 months. For optimal full face wrinkle relief and dry eye results, 6-8 treatments are spread out over a 12 month period.
