OptiLift

WHAT IS
OptiLift by Lumenis?

OptiiLift by Lumenis is a revolutionary, nonsurgical treatment that helps restore healthy blinking by gently stimulating and toning the muscles around your eyes. The result? More comfort, better moisture retention, and a noticeable improvement in dry eye symptoms.

As we age, the muscles under our eyes weaken, leading to poor blinking, lower eyelid laxity, and reduced tear coverage.

HOW DOES
OptiLift WORK?

OptiLift uses both Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt) to activate and condition the muscles beneath your lower eyelids—the same ones responsible for blinking. It also uses Radio Frequency to move the oil in meibomian glands.

  • Improves blink mechanics

  • Better tear spread

  • Improving meibomian gland functionality

  • Increase collagen production around the eyes

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE
OptiLift TREATMENT?

4 sessions, spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Each session usually takes only 10-15 minutes.

OptiLift is applied on the skin below the eyes and is non-invasive.

During treatment, your practitioner will cover your eyes with shields and apply a thin layer of coupling gel on the treatment area.

You may experience a warm sensation as light is applied to the skin. The treatment is gentle with minimal discomfort.

You can return to your daily activities and apply makeup straight away in most cases.

Patients usually report an improvement after the 2nd or 3rd session.
