Light Therapy of 633nm heats the glands to help clear blockages and stimulates the mitochondria in the gland to heal and produce healthy oils again.

For mild cases of MGD, LLLT Red mask combined with Intense Pulse Light (IPL) can remove blockages in the meibomian glands and stimulate the glands to produce healthy oils again.

In moderate to severe cases of MGD, LLLT Red Mask is a very effective addition to LipiFlow or TearCare in-office thermal treatments.  

 Red and near infrared light therapy is the process of using medical grade LED lights to deliver concentrated & specific wavelengths of light to our bodies. The cells in our bodies are able to absorb these specific wavelengths of light, using them to stimulate ATP production within the mitochondria of our cells by interacting with a photoreceptor known as cytochrome c oxidase. 

 Red light therapy helps our cells to produce more energy. When our cells have more energy, they are able to perform their cellular functions more efficiently and more effectively.  

 IPL is a new instrumental treatment modality for MGD. This treatment modality was originally developed for use in dermatology and was later adopted in ophthalmology for treating MGD. IPL therapy for MGD can improve tear film stability, meibomian gland functionality, as well as subjective feeling of ocular dryness. 

 Numerous studies report that IPL is effective for treating MGD and a safe procedure.
