What People Are Saying About Optima IPL Treatment
As a pilot, having dry irritated eyes is unacceptable. Drops provided a temporary solution but putting drops in my eyes all day was a big inconvenience. After a few treatments with Lumenis Optima IPL my vision was back to normal. I have recommended the treatment to all my coworkers who suffer from the same problem.

I felt excruciating scratching pain every time I blinked. My doctor said I was suffering from dry irritated eyes, yet none of the drops and treatments provided a solution. I finally found relief with Lumenis Optima IPL treatment

Most insurance providers don't cover IPL for dry eye as a stand-alone treatment, primarily because they consider IPL an elective or cosmetic procedure rather than a necessary medical treatment.
How much does IPL cost? The cost of IPL treatment varies depending on the clinics and the equipment and technology they use. A treatment plan can cost $800 – $1000 for three or four sessions.
How Much Does OptiLight Cost? The cost of OptiLight varies from patient to patient depending on their personalized treatment plan. One of the main factors that contributes to the overall cost of OptiLight is the number of sessions needed, with the price of treatment usually ranging from $350 to $700 per session.
Why Consider IPL Treatments? Despite the cost, many find IPL treatments a worthwhile investment. IPL can significantly improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines, and tackle pigmentation issues.
"The combination of IPL and MGX can significantly improve dry eye symptoms — in this retrospective analysis, in 89 percent of patients — and meibomian gland function, which in this study improved in 77 percent of patients in at least one eye," says Dr.
However, there are some cases where insurance companies will cover the cost of OptiLight. For example, if your vision is severely impaired and glasses or contacts can't correct it, your insurance company may consider OptiLight as a necessary medical treatment and cover the cost.
IPL treatments, according to a study in the Journal of Clinical Aesthetic Dermatology, show that people get 83.3% less hair growth after one month and 78.1% less after three months. Results can last for years or even permanently. This makes IPL an excellent choice for those who want to enjoy long-lasting smoothness.
The following possible side effects can occur following IPL treatments: Pain/discomfort, damage to natural skin texture, change of pigmentation, scarring, excessive edema, fragile skin, bruising, burns, pruritus and xerosis.
The course of treatment was 3 weeks. The improvement was based on the ultrasound measurement of the masses reduction of more than 50% or disappearance. In the IPL group, 17 (22.67%) cases were cured, 39 (52.00%) were effective, and 19 (25.33%) were ineffective.
The hair will grow back over a long period of time – so it's not 100% permanent, but the expensive, long-lasting hair removal treatment offers almost-permanent hair removal after a series of repeat visits.
