Skin Care With a Medical Reason
Aesthetics & Dry Eye
Ocular Aesthetics in Centennial
The same treatments that calm inflamed, oil-clogged eyelids can also refresh the skin around your eyes. At Hamilton Vision Center, ocular aesthetics grows out of our dry eye care: IPL and radiofrequency address inflammation and meibomian gland dysfunction, two common causes of dry eye, and along the way they soften redness, fine lines, and sun damage. It is skin care with a medical reason behind it.
Aesthetics That Starts With Eye Health
We are an eye doctor's office, not a med spa. That matters because the eyelids, oil glands, tear film, and ocular surface are exactly what we treat every day. Every aesthetic treatment we offer began as a dry eye therapy: IPL and radiofrequency help clear clogged oil glands behind irritated, watery eyes, and the same technology that improves gland function can also even skin tone and firm the delicate skin around the eyes. Patients who visit us for dry eye care, contact lenses, or migraine therapy benefit from the same medical expertise, and we accept a variety of insurance plans for eligible eye care services. You get real dry-eye relief and a fresher look from one personalized treatment plan.
IPL for Redness and Dry Eye
Intense pulsed light, or IPL, was first used to treat rosacea and facial redness. The same light also calms the inflammation behind meibomian gland dysfunction, one of the most common causes of dry eye. It tends to help patients with rosacea, facial redness, or oil-gland-related dry eye.
Most patients need a short series of sessions, usually about four spaced a few weeks apart, with little to no downtime, and results build gradually. A series can reduce facial redness and broken capillaries while improving how the oil glands that keep your eyes comfortable work. We map your plan to your skin and your symptoms.
What Ocular Aesthetics Can Help
Depending on your skin and your dry eye, treatment can help with:
- Rosacea and persistent facial redness
- Broken capillaries and sun damage
- Uneven tone and brown pigmentation
- Fine lines and early skin laxity around the eyes
- The clogged oil glands behind chronic dry eye
Radiofrequency for Firmer, Calmer Skin
Radiofrequency uses gentle heat to stimulate collagen and tighten the delicate skin around the eyes, and it warms the eyelid glands so they release oil more easily.
That means smoother, firmer skin and steadier dry eye relief from the same visit. It is comfortable, needs no downtime, and fits easily into a lunch break.
The 1540 Fractional Laser
Our 1540 fractional laser is the one treatment we offer purely for the skin. It resurfaces gently to soften fine lines, scars, and sun damage without the long recovery of older lasers.
We are careful about who is a good candidate, and we will always tell you if a treatment is not right for you because that is who we are as a practice. What we do not do is fillers, Botox, or chemical peels; that is a med spa's job, not an eye doctor's.
