Radio Frequency (RF) with IPL

What is RF and How Does it Work?

Radiofrequency (RF) technology uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to safely administer heat on the skin. It hones in on the skin’s water molecules and generates micro-vibrations in the dermal tissue, which leads to advanced dermal heating. The continuous heating process activates new collagen and elastin growth, which results in stronger, firmer skin of the face. RF also assists in unclogging the meibomian glands by focusing on the eyelid tissues. The results give us improved structural integrity of our eyelids as well as a gentle facial skin lifting and tightening.

How Can RF and IPL Work Together?

The IPL and RF procedures target Dry Eye Disease from different angles. IPL addresses the inflammatory cause of the abnormal vasculature and heals Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) from the surface, while RF directs its attention to the depths of the dermis and recovers MGD by repairing the glands’ structural components.

The technology at Bay Vision combines IPL and RF together for a comprehensive approach so that patients can feel more immediate relief from their Dry Eye symptoms. When used together, IPL and RF can maximize the effectiveness of the treatment as they resolve the MGD as well as rebuild the eyelid skin tissue at the same time. The added bonus of this 2-in-1 technology is that patients can enjoy the cosmetic benefits of each device and tackle both external and deep skin concerns. As IPL works to diminish pigmentation, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture, RF works on firming and lifting any sagging or loosening of the skin of the face.
