Envision is the new in-office standard revolutionizing procedures in delicate areas. This ground breaking, nonsurgical device, deploys multiple programmable modalities which work synergistically to deliver precision treatments: • Forma-I: bipolar radiofrequency (RF) • Lumecca-I: intense pulsed light (IPL) • Morpheus8: minimally invasive fractional technology

Envision by InMode uses radio-frequency to heat the meibomian glands, which are the glands that produce oil in the tears. This helps to clear the blockages in the glands and improve tear production. IPL is used to reduce inflammation in the eyes.

This is an innovative nonsurgical procedure that delivers bipolar radio-frequency (RF) technology to smaller, more delicate sub-dermal layers. Designed with unprecedented safety, the small size applicator, precision RF depth control, and intelligent temperature monitoring, ensure a safe non-drug alternative.

Forma-I feels like a warm massage in the eye area, improving blood circulation. The small size applicator and precision RF depth control allow for treatment in small and delicate areas.

INMODE Forma Radio-frequency treatment (RF) uses Radio-Frequency energy to generate heat which is applied to the skin around the eyes. This heat stimulates collagen formation, bringing white blood cells, and stem cells to the skin around your eyes while reducing inflammation. This treatment aids in opening up clogged meibomian glands, allowing for improved tear production and secretion. RF is usually followed by a Meibomian Gland expression.

Lumecca is the most powerful intense pulsed light (IPL) designed to treat pigmented and vascular lesions. Lumecca-I uses photothermolysis, which provides a photo-facial through the delivery of a comfortable light treatment. IPL has been FDA approved for more than 15 years to remove superficial skin lesions.

Lumecca-I creates tissue heating which helps to reduce inflammation. During treatment there will be a bright flash of light and a sensation on your skin that feels like a light snap from an elastic band. Redness and a slight warming of the skin are normal after treatment and usually subside within an hour.

INMODE Lumecca Intense Pulse Light treatment (IPL) works to control the inflammatory process and to stop the vicious cycle of inflammation and to reduce the need for medications. IPL treats ocular rosacea, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Inflammatory dry eye. It has been shown to decrease demodex and bacteria around the eyelids. The powerful bursts of light also close off blood vessels that release inflammation in ocular rosacea.
