Lumenis, a leading energy-based medical device company for aesthetic and eye care applications, today announced the launch of OptiPLUS, the first dual frequency radiofrequency (RF) device on the market. It delivers heat across different tissue layers, increasing blood circulation to promote medical performance and aesthetic results. OptiPLUS is a complementary device to Lumenis’ novel OptiLIGHT technology, which targets the root cause of dry eye disease.

While OptiLIGHT relies on a pioneering light-based technology to break the vicious cycle of dry-eye inflammation due to meibomian gland dysfunction, OptiPLUS is a dedicated device that employs a breakthrough RF energy to enhance clinical results. The FDA-cleared dual-frequency RF technology enables energy penetration to different skin depths, heating the superficial layer to promote collagen formation and stimulate peri-orbital skin rejuvenation while also reaching into the deeper tissue to target the meibomian glands.

A unique monopolar electrode ensures optimized contact with the delicate contours in the peri-orbital area, enabling OptiPLUS to offer unmatched safety and unrivaled patient comfort. Used to treat patients across a range of skin types, OptiPLUS leverages the benefits of state-of-the-art technology with clinically validated, pre-embedded settings and temperature control for better efficacy and safety.

OptiLight Plus by Lumenis

What is the difference between OptiLight and OptiPLUS?

OptiPLUS by Lumenis is an FDA-cleared device designed to treat dry eye disease, specifically caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). Unlike OptiLight, which uses IPL technology, OptiPLUS utilizes dual-frequency radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver targeted heat across various skin layers.

What is OptiPLUS used for?

It uses a specific wavelength of light to target the underlying causes of dry eyes. This treatment is particularly effective for those who have not found relief through traditional methods like eye drops or medications.

What is the success rate of IPL for dry eyes?

IPL dry eye therapy targets the root cause of evaporative dry eye, leaving you with more minor symptoms for a longer amount of time. Although results differ for everyone, studies have shown that 93% of patients are satisfied with the outcome of IPL dry eye treatment and what it has done for their dry eye symptoms.

Is OptiLight covered by insurance?

Many people find relief after the third treatment. After the initial series, patients receive occasional "touch-up" treatments as needed. OptiLight™ is considered a cosmetic procedure by most insurance companies. This means insurance plans do not typically cover it.
