Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is a safe, gentle, and effective treatment option that utilizes pulses of light to liquefy and release hardened oils that have clogged glands in the eyelids. The treatment is performed in a number of sessions and is non-invasive.
IPL not only addresses gland blockages but also improves overall eyelid health by reducing inflammation and bacterial load. By targeting the blood vessels contributing to inflammation, IPL helps to restore the natural oil flow, enhancing the quality of the tear film and providing long lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.
Each session is tailored to the patient's specific needs, ensuring optimal results. With minimal downtime and a high safety profile, IPL therapy is an excellent choice for those seeking an effective and convenient solution to chronic dry eye discomfort.

Patients must have a dry eye consultation first prior to booking IPL treatment.
