At Relf EyeCare, we offer Lumecca IPL and Forma-I Radiofrequency treatments—non-invasive solutions that treat the root causes of dry eye while rejuvenating the skin around your eyes and face. These advanced technologies are part of our Envision platform, designed specifically for the delicate periorbital region.
Whether you’re looking for relief from dry, irritated eyes or seeking subtle aesthetic enhancements, Lumecca IPL and Forma-I offer a safe, well-tolerated approach with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
The Technology Behind the Treatments
Lumecca IPL
Lumecca IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) delivers targeted light energy to treat:
- Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
- Inflammation caused by ocular rosacea
- Pigmented lesions, sun damage, and redness
- Bacteria and demodex mites around the lash line
Treatment sessions are typically quick and gentle. While mild redness or warmth may occur post-treatment, most people resume their normal activities immediately—no extended healing time required. Noticeable improvement is often reported after the first session, with continued benefits after completing the recommended series of four.
Lumecca IPL is valued not only for its effectiveness but also for its convenience and versatility, offering both medical and aesthetic improvements in one session. To maintain results, periodic maintenance sessions (1–2 annually) are suggested.
Forma-I Radiofrequency
Forma-I uses precision radiofrequency thermal energy to warm the eyelids and stimulate meibomian gland activity. This helps unclog oil glands, improve tear production, and relieve dry eye symptoms. The same radiofrequency also stimulates collagen production, improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Puffiness under the eyes
- Skin laxity around the eyelids and face
Forma-I is part of a larger category of skin tightening treatments that patients consistently find effective, especially when performed as a series and maintained annually. While results vary by individual, the effects can last several months, with many patients noticing smoother, firmer skin almost immediately following each session.

Are These Treatments Worth It?
When you consider the long-term savings on prescription eye drops, the dual benefit of symptom relief and cosmetic enhancement, and the non-invasive nature of the technology, both Lumecca IPL and Forma-I offer exceptional value. While insurance does not cover these treatments, many patients find the investment worthwhile for the relief, confidence, and clarity it brings.
Exact costs vary based on your individualized plan and goals. During your consultation, we’ll provide clear pricing and help you understand what’s needed to achieve your desired outcome.
