At Eden Eyecare, we focus on treating the cause of Dry Eye, not just the symptoms. Optilift Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that is clinically proven to reduce Dry Eye symptoms. At Eden Eyecare, OptiLift can be combined with OptiLight IPL Therapy and Meibomian Gland Expression, for enhanced results. Together, these treatments effectively improve Meibomian gland function, strengthen the tear film, and reduce dryness and eye irritation. This helps provide long-lasting relief for our patients across the North West of England.

How does it work?

OptiLIFT works for dry eye by combining Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt) and Radiofrequency (RF) to strengthen eyelid muscles, improve blinking, tighten skin, and boost meibomian gland function, addressing root causes like lid laxity and poor tear film stability for better moisture and comfort. The electrical pulses from DMSt tone muscles for better closure, while RF heat stimulates collagen and oil production in glands, creating healthier tears and firmer skin.

OptiLight is our specialist IPL Therapy targeted solely for Dry Eye benefits, but when used in conjunction with OptiLift, creates incredible lasting results, alongside non-surgical cosmetic and aesthetic benefits.

improving your eyelid health, tone + tears alongside aesthetic benefits

OptiLift helps dry eye symptoms by improving the function of the eyelids. It tightens the skin around the eyes, ensuring that tears are trapped better, which keeps your eyes moist and comfortable. By enhancing eyelid support, it reduces dryness and irritation, making your eyes feel healthier.

Not only that, but as it activates the muscles around the eyes, OptiLift encourages natural collagen production, resulting in smoother, tighter-looking skin.

Over time, the delicate muscles surrounding the eyes can lose strength, which may lead to sagging or heaviness in the eyelids. This treatment gently stimulates those muscles, prompting repeated contractions that help rebuild tone and support.

Direct Debits available

Our specialist Consultant will place eye shields over your eyelids to protect them from the bright light pulses. A thin layer of cooling gel will also be applied to the skin around your eyes to protect that sensitive area as well. Our Consultant will then use a small device over the targeted areas. For optimum results for Dry Eye patients, we would recommend this treatment alongside OptiLight.

Improvements in muscle tone and skin tightness build gradually over the course of the sessions, but you will start to see results after just two weeks.

A typical treatment plan involves a series of four sessions, usually spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Each session takes only around 20 minutes, and there is no down time.

frequently asked questions

What is OptiLift therapy?

OptiLift therapy utilises advanced technology, such as radiofrequency, to improve the tone and function of the eyelids. This allows tears to be trapped better to keep your eyes in top condition. It can also improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and enhance overall facial contours.

Who is a good candidate for OptiLift therapy?

Good candidates include individuals struggling with Dry Eye, those with mild to moderate skin laxity, ageing skin, or those seeking to enhance their facial contours. It is suitable for various skin types and your consultant will be able to advise.

Is OptiLift therapy safe?

Yes, OptiLift therapy is considered safe when performed by trained professionals. It typically involves minimal discomfort and has few side effects. However, a thorough consultation is essential to ensure it is appropriate for your unique skin condition.

How long does an OptiLift session last?

A typical OptiLift session lasts only 20 minutes, depending on the specific treatment area and the technique used. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, but we recommend a course of 4 sessions as standard.

What results can I expect and how long do they last?

Patients can expect to see an improvement in skin tightness, elasticity, and overall appearance in just two weeks. Results become more noticeable over the sessions weeks as collagen production increases, and they can last from several months to a couple of years, depending on individual factors and skin care maintenance.

Are there any side effects associated with OptiLift therapy?

Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort in the treated area. These usually resolve quickly. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner to minimise risks and enhance results.
