LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System

The LipiFlow® Thermal Pulsation System consists of a console and a single-use sterile device, known as the activator, and has a drug-free mechanism of action. Our doctors use the FDA approved LipiFlow System to treat meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) patients in-office with confidence and efficiency. The leading cause of dry eye is MGD. 86% of dry eye patients are affected by MGD. This treatment improves the gland function and improves dry eye symptoms. 

The Lipiflow® System represents more than 10 years of dedicated research and is protected by more than 30 patents. A phased pressure profile with adaptive force equalization and proximal-to-distal peristaltic motion evacuates gland contents as the inner lid is gently heated. This safe and painless treatment is designed to treat the root cause of many dry eye symptoms and provides long-term effectiveness in maintaining gland structure and function..
