DRY EYE THERAPY
​
If you're experiencing dry eye symptoms, consult your optometrist regarding TempSure® Envi treatment.
Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is often the underlying cause of dry eye, characterized by blocked or inflamed oil glands in the eyelids. These glands produce oils crucial for eye lubrication and tear retention. MGD symptoms include irritation, redness, blurred vision, and light sensitivity. Factors contributing to MGD include age, hormonal changes, environment, health conditions, and medications. While standard treatments like eye drops offer temporary relief, long-term solutions necessitate unblocking meibomian glands to restore tear production.
TempSure Envi offers a safe, efficient, and comfortable solution for clearing blocked tear ducts. In addition to alleviating dry eye symptoms, it can also enhance the tightness of the skin around the eyes and diminish fine lines in the eye area.
WHAT IS TEMPSURE® ENVI?
TempSure® Envi is FDA-approved technology that uses noninvasive radiofrequency to regenerate collagen, reduce fine lines and wrinkles (for example of the forehead, crow's feet, smile lines, and frown lines), and tighten skin of any type.
​
By gently heating the skin with radiofrequency, TempSure® Envi raises the skin's temperature to treat Meibomian gland dysfunction, one of the most common casues of dry eyes. This controlled heat stimulates the body's natural collagen production, unclogs tear glands, and revitalizes the eye's surface, promoting optimal function. The result is not only relief from dry eye symptoms but also rejuvenated, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin, all achieved with very little downtime.
HOW IT WORKS IN REDUCING WRINKLES UNTREATED SKIN
Normal Skin
TempSure® Envi is specifically designed to address facial fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen synthesis, a vital process for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
Collagen Synthesis Begins
TempSure® Envi utilizes radiofrequency technology to gently warm the skin, promoting a controlled increase in skin temperature for a specific therapeutic duration. This targeted heating triggers a natural response within the skin, prompting the production of new collagen.
Collagen Remodeling Occurs
Collagen remodeling takes place, resulting in the formation of tight, dense, and well-organized new collagen fibers, which contribute to a tighter and more youthful appearance of the skin.
TEMPSURE TREATMENT: WHAT TO EXPECT
​
Many individuals describe feeling a mild warmth throughout the procedure, much like a hot stone massage. The radiofrequency energy, delivered gently, stimulates the natural production of collagen. While the treatment is generally painless, slight redness in the treated area may occur immediately afterward. This redness typically subsides rapidly post-treatment, revealing a rejuvenated, healthy-looking complexion.
The duration of the procedure varies from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. There's no downtime associated with TempSure Envi treatment, allowing you to resume your regular activities immediately.

TempSure Envi offers a comfortable and safe treatment experience, which is well-tolerated by most patients. Many individuals have even found it to be relaxing! Treatment sessions are often brief, lasting as little as 30 minutes, making it convenient to fit into your schedule. For optimal results, a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced approximately 2-3 weeks apart is recommended, as this enhances the collagen rebuilding process.
