Lumenis IPL & TempSure RF for Dry Eye
Dry eye disease affects millions of people, causing burning, irritation, and blurred vision. At Total Body Aesthetic, we offer a dual-technology approach combining Lumenis IPL and TempSure Radiofrequency to treat the root cause of dry eye — meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).
Meibomian glands line your eyelids and produce the oil layer that prevents your tears from evaporating too quickly. When these glands become clogged, tears break down faster than they should, causing chronic dryness and discomfort. Our advanced treatments restore gland function for lasting relief.

Symptoms of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction & Dry Eye:
Understanding Dry Eye
Approximately 86% of dry eye cases are caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). The meibomian glands, located in your upper and lower eyelids, produce the oil (meibum) layer of your tear film. This oil layer is critical — it prevents your tears from evaporating too quickly between blinks.
When these glands become clogged with thickened, waxy deposits, the oil can no longer reach the tear film. Without this protective layer, tears break down rapidly, leaving the eye surface exposed and irritated. Traditional eye drops only mask the symptoms — they do not treat the underlying gland dysfunction.
At Total Body Aesthetic, we use Lumenis IPL and TempSure Radiofrequency to target the root cause of dry eye by restoring healthy meibomian gland function.
Our Approach
We combine two complementary technologies for comprehensive dry eye relief. Together, Lumenis IPL and TempSure RF address inflammation, unblock glands, and restore your natural tear film.
Non-Invasive Healing
A gentle, non-invasive approach to healing dried-out corneal tissue and relieving chronic dry eye discomfort from the inside out.
How It Works
If you suffer from that persistent scratchy, gritty feeling of chronic dry eye, hydrogen therapy offers a soothing, non-invasive path to relief. Molecular hydrogen is one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature, and when delivered directly to the eye area, it helps neutralize the oxidative stress that damages corneal tissue over time.
During each session, you simply wear a pair of specialized goggles while hydrogen is gently infused to the eye area for 20 minutes. The molecular hydrogen penetrates deep into the corneal tissue, acting as a targeted antioxidant that reduces inflammation, promotes cellular repair, and brings healing back to eyes that have been dried out and irritated from chronic dry eye.
The treatment is completely comfortable — many patients find it deeply relaxing. There is no downtime, no discomfort, and no recovery period. Hydrogen therapy can be used on its own or as a complement to our Lumenis IPL and TempSure RF treatments for a comprehensive dry eye healing protocol.
Physician Recommended
True dry eye relief goes beyond in-office treatments. Omega-3 fatty acids are a clinically backed nutritional foundation for healthy tear film production and long-term eye comfort.

De3 Omega Benefits
2400 mg rTG Omega-3 with Vitamin D • 180 Softgels
Dry eye disease is largely driven by inflammation and poor meibomian gland function — the tiny oil glands along your eyelid that keep your tears from evaporating. Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, are among the most studied nutrients for reducing ocular surface inflammation and improving the quality of meibum (the oil that stabilizes your tear film).
The PRN De3 Omega Benefits supplement is specifically formulated for dry eye patients. It delivers 2400 mg of re-esterified triglyceride (rTG) Omega-3 — the most bioavailable form available — paired with Vitamin D3 to support overall ocular wellness. This is the same formula trusted and recommended by eye care physicians nationwide.
Reduces Inflammation
EPA and DHA help calm the ocular surface inflammation that drives dry eye symptoms.
Improves Tear Quality
Supports meibomian gland function to produce healthier, more stable tear film lipids.
rTG Form = Better Absorption
Re-esterified triglyceride Omega-3 absorbs up to 70% better than standard fish oil supplements.
Clinically Backed
Supported by published clinical research. GMP certified and physician recommended for over 20 years.
For best results, we recommend combining PRN De3 with your in-office dry eye treatments at Total Body Aesthetic. Our providers can advise on optimal dosing during your consultation.
Our dry eye treatment program is available at our Los Angeles location. We combine Lumenis IPL with TempSure RF for comprehensive meibomian gland restoration.

Both IPL and TempSure RF treatments are safe with minimal side effects. You may experience temporary mild redness around the treated area that resolves within a few hours. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
What to Expect
Many patients notice improvement in their dry eye symptoms after just 2-3 sessions. The combination of IPL and TempSure RF has been clinically shown to improve tear breakup time, meibum quality, and overall ocular surface health. Patients report reduced burning, less reliance on eye drops, and clearer, more comfortable vision.
Optimal results typically develop over 1-3 months as the meibomian glands heal and resume normal function. With proper maintenance treatments every 6-12 months, patients can enjoy sustained relief from chronic dry eye symptoms.

Our dry eye treatment delivers lasting relief by targeting the root cause of your symptoms. Lumenis IPL reduces inflammation and eliminates abnormal blood vessels around the eyes, while TempSure RF melts blocked oil deposits and restores meibomian gland function. Together, they stabilize the tear film for sustained comfort.
Initial symptom improvement is often noticeable within the first few sessions. Optimal results develop over 1-3 months as the glands fully recover. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help sustain results long-term.
Both Lumenis IPL and TempSure RF treatments for dry eye are safe when performed by experienced providers. The most common side effect is temporary mild redness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few hours. Some patients may experience temporary blurred vision after treatment, which is actually a positive sign indicating increased oil production. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after their session.
Common Questions
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is the leading cause of dry eye disease, responsible for approximately 86% of all cases. The meibomian glands line your eyelids and produce the oil layer of your tear film. When these glands become blocked with thickened, waxy deposits, the oil cannot reach the tear surface, causing tears to evaporate too quickly and leaving the eye exposed and irritated.
Lumenis IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treats dry eye in multiple ways. It reduces inflammation around the meibomian glands, eliminates abnormal blood vessels that contribute to chronic irritation, gently heats thickened oil deposits to help restore normal gland function, and provides antimicrobial effects by reducing bacteria and Demodex mites. It is the first and only FDA-approved IPL technology for dry eye management.
TempSure Radiofrequency uses controlled heat energy to warm the eyelid area to a therapeutic temperature. This melts the hardened, waxy oil deposits that have been clogging your meibomian glands. Once liquefied, the blocked oils can be gently expressed, allowing the glands to resume their normal function of producing the protective oil layer for your tear film. The treatment feels like a warm, soothing massage.
Most patients benefit from a series of 4 initial sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results. Some patients notice improvement after the first session, while others see the greatest improvement after completing the full series. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are recommended to sustain results. During your consultation, we will evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan.
Both treatments are well-tolerated and generally comfortable. IPL feels like a mild, warm sensation on the skin. TempSure RF is often described as a relaxing "hot stone massage" around the eyes. No anesthesia is required, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Artificial tears and prescription eye drops provide temporary symptom relief but do not treat the underlying cause of most dry eye cases. They replace tears that evaporate too quickly, rather than fixing the gland dysfunction causing the rapid evaporation. Our IPL + TempSure RF treatment targets the root cause by restoring meibomian gland function, which produces lasting improvement rather than temporary relief.
Good candidates include people with chronic dry eye symptoms, those diagnosed with meibomian gland dysfunction, patients who haven't found adequate relief from eye drops or warm compresses, and contact lens wearers experiencing dryness. People with rosacea (approximately 80% of rosacea patients also have MGD) are also excellent candidates. The best way to determine if you are a good candidate is to schedule a complimentary consultation at Total Body Aesthetic.
