Radio Frequency FAQ

Is RF safe?

RF is a safe, effective, and comfortable way to treat dry eye. Dry eye patients can now experience longer lasting relief from dry eye symptoms like burning, itching, and eye pain.

What should I expect?

Most patients describe a gentle warmth that is not uncomfortable, it is normal to have some redness right after the treatment, but that goes away quickly. There is no downtime when you have RF treatment. Return to work or play immediately!

What kind of post-procedure care is required?

Most patients do not experience any side effects and any skin reaction typically resolves within a few hours. There is no recovery period or downtime associated with this procedure.

Is RF painful?

RF isn't painful. You shouldn't feel any pain or discomfort during your treatment. Your doctor gently rubs your skin with his handheld device to send heatwaves into it. However, if you experience any pain, let us know.

How long does it take?

Your doctor may need about 10 to 20 minutes to complete a session. However, the total time you spend during each visit is likely to be longer. This is because your doctor will need time to prepare for your treatment and to allow time for you to rest after the treatment.

How long does it take to see results?

When you start radio frequency treatment for your dry eye, you're likely to visit your doctor for 2 to 4 weeks. This depends on what your doctor determines will help you improve your symptoms. While you can feel some difference after a session, you can start noticing significant changes after three to four treatments.

Will I need more treatments?

Your dry eye specialist will prescribe a series of treatments or combination of procedures unique to your condition. They will also prescribe a post procedure maintenance program to keep you seeing, feeling and looking your best.
