TempSure® Envi by Cynosure: Dry Eye, Fine lines & Wrinkles

TempSure® Envi is a non-invasive, radiofrequency treatment that uses gentle heat to alleviate dry eye symptoms. It works by warming and unblocking the meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer of tears, improving tear quality and reducing dryness. This treatment can also help with fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

What a Dry Eye Evaluation Looks Like Here

A dry eye visit starts with your symptoms, your routine, and your history. The eye doctor evaluates the ocular surface, tear film, and gland function to determine severity and likely cause.

The difference between relief and frustration often comes down to specificity. A targeted diagnosis supports a targeted plan.

Dry Eye Treatment Options Based on Findings

The Dry Eye Center uses advanced treatment options when appropriate, including:

  • TempSure® Envi by Cynosure

  • Temperature-based gland treatments

  • Prescription dry eye medications

  • Amniotic membrane therapy

The practice selects treatment based on clinical findings and response over time. This approach avoids trial-and-error cycles that leave many patients stuck.

How TempSure® Envi Works

Radiofrequency Technology: TempSure® Envi uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the skin around the eyes.

Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD): Dry eye is often caused by MGD, where the meibomian glands become clogged and produce less oil, leading to dry, irritated eyes.

Unclogging and Stimulating Glands: The heat from the device helps to melt and unclog the meibomian glands, improving their function and allowing them to produce more, higher-quality oil.

Improved Tear Film: Increased oil production helps stabilize the tear film, a thin layer that coats the eye and keeps it lubricated.

Collagen Production: Heat also stimulates collagen production, helping tighten and firm the skin around the eyes and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Benefits of TempSure® Envi

  • Relief from Dry Eye Symptoms: Reduces symptoms like dryness, burning, itching, and irritation.
  • Improved Tear Quality: Helps to produce better-quality tears, improving eye lubrication.
  • Comfortable and Non-Invasive: Most patients find the treatment comfortable, with no downtime.
  • May Improve Skin Appearance: Can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

Dry Eye and Contact Lens Comfort

Many patients stop wearing contact lenses because their eyes feel dry, their vision fluctuates, or the lenses become intolerable late in the day.

Addressing dry eye often improves lens comfort and stabilizes vision. A dry eye evaluation helps determine whether tear film instability contributes to contact lens problems.
