A Customized Spa Experience

Every dry eye case is unique, and so is our approach. After a thorough evaluation of your eyes and tear film, we create a personalized treatment plan designed to reduce irritation and improve tear quality. 

Our dry eye spa features a range of gentle, effective in-office therapies that complement your at-home care routine.

Our In-Office Dry Eye Treatments

We offer a variety of in-office dry eye treatments that can help relieve your symptoms. Our team will work closely with you to determine what treatment or combination of treatments is right for your needs.

Each treatment can provide aesthetic benefits as well as soothe your dry eye symptoms.

Microblepharoexfoliation (BlephEx) is a gentle, in-office procedure that deeply cleanses the eyelid margins to remove debris, bacteria, and biofilm buildup that can block the meibomian glands. 

By restoring a healthier eyelid environment, this treatment supports better oil flow into the tear film, reduces inflammation, and helps relieve symptoms of dry eye and blepharitis. Patients often find their eyes feel fresher, clearer, and more comfortable following treatment.

Intense pulsed light (IPL) is a modern treatment for skin rosacea that is also effective for treating dry eye. High-intensity light energy warms the meibomian glands, helping express hardened oil and improving their function.

IPL shrinks inflamed blood vessels, reduces inflammatory chemical factors on the eye and tear film, and is effective against Demodex. IPL can also provide collagen tightening and aesthetic improvement to the skin around the eyes.

Low-level light therapy (LLLT) uses long-wavelength red or blue LED light to stimulate the meibomian glands on the upper and lower eyelids. This treatment is an effective way to improve dry eye symptoms and tear film functionality.

LLLT can use light wavelengths that range from 390–1100 nm. When addressing meibomian gland dysfunction, lid and corneal inflammation, and other symptoms of dry eye, wavelengths of 600–830 nm have been found to be most effective.

LipiFlow can help relieve dry eye caused by meibomian gland dysfunction. This technology uses gentle heat and massage on the inner and outer eyelids to effectively remove blockages that may cause your dry eyes.

Radiofrequency (RF) is a noninvasive cosmetic skin treatment for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Heating the deeper layers of the skin stimulates collagen and elastin production. This treatment can also help clear obstructed meibomian glands.

If you are interested in achieving tighter, younger-looking skin while treating your dry eye, then RF may be a great option.

Plasma pen therapy uses a micro current to break down blockages in the oil glands. This helps restore regular oil production to your meibomian glands, preventing your tears from evaporating too quickly.

In addition to improving your tear film quality, plasma pen therapy also promotes collagen production and skin tightening around the eyes, for a more youthful appearance.

Amniotic membrane therapy offers healing for patients with severe dry eye or corneal surface damage. The biologically active tissue contains natural anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties that help reduce discomfort, repair the ocular surface, and support long-term recovery.

This treatment is ideal for patients whose symptoms have not responded to standard therapies and need more intensive care.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses a small sample of your own blood to isolate healing growth factors, which are then applied as eye drops or used in targeted procedures. PRP stimulates tissue regeneration and tear production, making it especially effective for managing chronic or treatment-resistant dry eye.

Because it is derived from your own body, PRP is well tolerated and offers a natural path toward improved eye comfort and health.

Your Dry Eye Assessment

Your visit begins with a thorough assessment to understand your eyes and symptoms. Based on what we find, your doctor will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. As your eyes improve, your plan can be adjusted to keep you comfortable and supported.

In-Office Treatments

Depending on the cause of your dry eye, we may recommend advanced therapies such as:

  • Microblepharoexfoliation – gently cleanses the eyelid margins to remove debris and support meibomian gland health.
  • Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) – stimulates gland function using therapeutic LED light.
  • Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) – reduces inflammation and supports oil gland performance.
  • LipiFlow Thermal Pulsation – combines heat and gentle pressure to clear gland blockages.
  • Radio Frequency (RF) – improves collagen and gland function while supporting skin health.
  • Plasma Pen Therapy – promotes tissue repair and gland activity through controlled plasma energy.
  • Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) – uses your body’s own growth factors to stimulate healing and tear production.
  • Amniotic Membrane Therapy – supports regeneration and healing for severe cases.

At-Home Care

To complement in-office treatments, your doctor may recommend:

  • Warm compresses
  • Eyelid hygiene routines
  • Artificial tears
  • Nutritional supplements (such as omega-3 vitamins)

Together, these therapies help protect your eyes, relieve irritation, and keep your vision comfortable between visits.
