What is TriPollar Radio Frequency technology:
Radiofrequency (RF) is a technique that stimulates collagen production by safely delivering high frequency electrical currents to the surface of the skin. The electrical currents generate heat, at a predetermined temperature, to increase collagen growth within the superficial and deeper layers of the skin.This increase in collagen helps to tighten the skin, resulting in an improved appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye as well.

How can radiofrequency treatments help dry eyes?
About 80% of dry eye syndrome is caused by meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Meibomian gland dysfunction occurs when the meibomian glands become blocked or clogged by thick secretions. This impacts the normal flow of oil into the tear film and affects the quantity and quality of your tears— the cause of your dry eye symptoms.

When RF is applied to the skin adjacent to the eyes, the heat melts the thick oil secretions clogging the meibomian glands. This enables improved oil flow into the tears.
Radiofrequency also helps to reduce inflammation around the eyes, which may be contributing to your eye condition. Four treatments are the golden standard when it comes to TriPollar RF dry eye solutions, some patients may require more depending on the seriousness of their condition.

This treatment provides dramatic lift and firmness with no discomfort or recovery time. It offers an alternative to invasive procedures for those who want improved facial structure and smoothness. Lumenis triLift improves all three of the main causes of facial aging: gravitational sagging, volume loss, and sun damage of the skin.

TriLift combines three different types of technology in sequence to produce dramatic results. It begins with Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt). This electrical energy triggers your facial muscles to contract repeatedly. This effectively provides a workout for your facial muscles, and like any other muscles, they become more sculpted and defined. These facial muscles will also shorten, and through their attachments to the skin will shape and hold your skin in a more lifted position, reducing the nasolabial and marionette lines. The “bulked up” facial muscles will also provide an increase in volume in the mid-face area of the upper cheeks. Increased volume in this area has a strong rejuvenative effect.

TriPollar RF, the second technology, uses customizable hand pieces that send radiofrequency (RF) energy pulses into the skin. This energy triggers skin cells called fibroblasts to increase their collagen production. New collagen firms and strengthens the skin, restoring natural volume and support.
Third, triFX uses microneedling to deliver RF energy deeply into the skin for even more intensive collagen development. This new collagen makes the dermal layer thicker, restoring youthful-looking contours and the appearance of healthy younger looking skin.

TriLift™ treats three tissue layers to achieve a more youthful appearance. TriPollar RF and triFX treat the epidermis, the outermost layers of skin, and a deeper layer called the dermis. DMSt acts on the muscle layer beneath the skin, giving your features a more toned, contoured look.
Studies found that skin looks up to 80% smoother with 30% fewer wrinkles and three times more hyaluronic acid, a natural plumping molecule.

Cameron Optical: Restoring Vision, Curing Eye Disease and Changing Lives

An eye exam and a face lift? Yes please!If you suffer from droopy eyelids, but you’re not a fan of surgery, there is an in-between solution for you. Dr. Cameron explained the muscles around the eye can grow weak overtime, but their latest technology provides a way to strengthen these muscles. When these muscles are strengthened, they will not only improve symptoms of droopy eyes, but also symptoms that come from Lagophthalmos—a condition that keeps your eyes from closing while you sleep.
Now here comes the exciting part: not only will this technology (called triLift) strengthen the muscles in your eyes—it is also used to give natural face lifts!
The muscle stimulator is heated up and applied to your facial muscles around cheekbones, jawline, under the chin, around the eyes, and more. Once applied to your face, you’ll feel your muscles being toned and tightened, like a work-out for your face. After 16 minutes of treatment, your face will look brand new! It corrects crows feet, eye bags, sagging skin under the chin, drooping skin around the cheekbones, and more. No downtime, pain, no scarring, and no injections.
The Cure for Dry EyesIf you suffer from dry eyes, you may need more than over-the-counter eye drops to cure the issue. Dry eyes can lead to long term damage, and make wearing contacts a nightmare. The problem goes a lot deeper than you think. “Everyone is on their phones nowadays or working on screens, causing them not to blink as much as they should be,” Dr. Soveral explained.
Dr. Cameron and Dr. Soveral showed me x-rays of the inside of an eyelid, filled with tiny tubes. These tubes are called meibomian glands, which provide oil needed to trap the tears in your eyes so that your eyes can receive the oxygen provided by the tears. Without the proper amount of oil produced in your eyes, the tears produced will instead evaporate, resulting in irritated and dry eyes. This disease is called Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, or MGD.
“We have the solution,” Dr. Soveral said. “We are one of the only clinical providers that can cure dry eye.”
LipiFlow is one treatment used at Cameron Optical to remove blockages from the meibomian glands, allowing them to produce the oils needed. This 12-minute treatment will gently massage the eyelids using a combination of heat and therapeutic motion. Once blockages are removed, glands can resume their normal oil production.
Another cause of dry eyes is inflammation, a key ingredient causing dry eyes. Cameron Optical utilizes another piece of equipment called OptiLight to treat inflammation. Using an intense broad spectrum light at a particular color wavelength, brand new nerve growth is triggered. This causes the meibomian glands to regenerate and open back up. Each session takes 10 to 15 minutes, and is usually spaced out between 2 to 4 weeks.
Not only does OptiLight cure dry eyes, but can also be used to eliminate age spots, rosacea, and acne—all of which cause inflammation—resulting in dry eyes.
“Your eyes are connected to the areas next to your skin that are affected by acne and rosacea. If we treat the eyes by themselves, they will improve some, but we want to treat the whole thing,” Dr. Cameron explains. She also shared that acne topicals can cause dry eyes as well, since the chemicals usually dry out the skin. “It’s a vicious cycle, but we can cure it now.”
