@mtnwoman 2-rounds @ 3mth each. First round worked but, it came back after a couple of mths. Then I did the 2nd round and again it helped but, came back.
That is when my doctor told me about these other treatments.
Note on the cyclosporine - It worked better when I stored in the refrigerator
Note on the OCuSOFT - I use original foaming eyelid cleanser in the shower every day. Wipes for travel and in evening if I wear eye makeup
I have done some research on the IPL and I used to get IPL facials. (which you never get too close to eye area)
I took the paperwork to my Aesthetics office (I always go to in the winter for facials) and had RN) look over it.
She came back and said yes, do it. She said she remembered a had client that told her that the treatments she was given seemed to have helped with her dry eyes.
She also said that the Lumenis is the best machine out there and the tip for this treatment is not like the one for the none eye area. It is much smaller and more targeted.

I am very excited about it. I also understand that it should last up to a year.
I have had IPL's. And the only downside is you must try to stay out of the sun 2 wks before and after the wks after treatment. (wear sunscreen, hate, sunglasses) Also, make sure there is NO retinal/retinoid creams in that area.
Also, you could have discoloration after the treatment. They will assess your skin type to use the right amount of (light). I did well with it in the past on my face and have more of a Mediterranean skin tone. Knowing your ethnicity is a must for best results and knowing how your skin reacts to the sun.
