Dry Eye management
Hawkes & Wainer are delighted to announce the arrival of a groundbreaking treatment for dry eye disease Low-level Light Therapy (LLLT)
Certified for medical use with FDA clearance, LLLT is a unique, light-based photo biomodulation therapy which works at a biological level within your eyelid cells. Using specific wavelengths of light delivered through powerful LEDs this stimulates ATP production within mitochondria at a cellular level resulting in endogenous heating. This stimulates the meibomian glands to improve their function and reduces inflammation by regulating antioxidant defences and reducing oxidative stress.
Do you spend long hours using digital devices? If you experience sore, gritty, or red eyes, you may be suffering from dry eye disease, a condition often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).
This condition can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and irritation.
LLLT stimulates the production of ATP within the cells in your eyelids, helping to activate the Meibomian glands, which are crucial for tear production.
This therapy reduces inflammation, enhances oil flow, and prevents the evaporation of your tears—keeping your eyes hydrated and comfortable.
In addition to its eye health benefits, LLLT promotes collagen production, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
It can also help alleviate skin conditions like rosacea and acne, providing dual advantages for both eye and skin health.
LLLT is delivered in an initial course of four treatments, with each session lasting approximately 45 minutes. Follow-up treatments may be needed every 4-6 months, depending on the severity of your symptoms. Treatment is FDA-approved and safe for medical use.
For more in-depth guidance, you can easily book a consultation with our team, and we’ll be happy to provide answers and recommendations tailored to your eye care needs.
Is Low-Level Light Therapy safe?
Yes, LLLT is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that is both safe and effective. It is widely used for treating dry eye disease and has the added benefit of improving skin health without side effects or discomfort.
How many sessions of LLLT will I need?
The initial treatment package consists of four sessions, each lasting about 45 minutes. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, follow-up treatments may be needed every 4 to 6 months to maintain optimal results.
How do I know if LLLT is right for me?
If you experience symptoms of dry eye disease, such as persistent dryness, irritation, or discomfort, LLLT may be an effective treatment option. We recommend booking a consultation with our team to discuss your symptoms and evaluate whether LLLT is suitable for your specific needs.
How does LLLT improve dry eye symptoms?
LLLT works by using specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cell function within the eyelids. This boosts oil production in the Meibomian glands, preventing tear evaporation and enhancing overall eye comfort. Patients often experience long-lasting relief from dryness, irritation, and other symptoms.
