OptiPLUS | Old South Optometry

What is OptiPLUS by Lumenis?

OptiPLUS by Lumenis is a radiofrequency (RF) treatment designed to unveil your skin’s youthful vibrancy.

OptiPLUS by Lumenis is an FDA-cleared and clinically proven device that increases collagen production to address visible signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, with the added benefit of helping manage dry eye disease.

With OptiPLUS, we can deliver targeted heat across different layers of your skin to enhance blood circulation, enhance collagen production, and reduce tear gland blockages that can cause dry eyes. Schedule your consultation with us today.

How Does It Work?

OptiPLUS uses the power of dual-frequency radiofrequency (RF) technology to deliver heat energy deep within the skin. This approach can address the root causes of visible signs of aging, promoting a more youthful and radiant appearance.

Unlike traditional RF, OptiPLUS uses 2 frequencies:

The lower frequency reaches deep, helping stimulate collagen production for firmer skin.
The higher frequency targets the surface, helping improve texture and blood flow.

What to Expect During Your OptiPLUS Treatment

OptiPLUS treatments can offer a comfortable and convenient approach to achieving your aesthetic goals.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We will discuss your desired outcomes, assess your skin, and develop a personalized treatment plan. This helps confirm OptiPLUS is right for your needs and goals.

During your appointment, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup or oils. The treatment itself is described as a warm, tingling sensation. Some patients even find it relaxing.

Treatments are typically around 6 minutes per side of your face, and can provide noticeable results in just 4 sessions.

Following your OptiPLUS treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling, which usually subsides within a few hours.

We will provide specific post-treatment instructions for you as well, which may include recommendations for sun protection and skincare.

You may notice immediate improvements following your first treatment. However, optimal results for skin aesthetics and dry eyes typically appear over a series of sessions, often spaced a few weeks apart.

The number of recommended treatments will be tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Will OptiPLUS Work for Me?

OptiPLUS by Lumenis is a powerful aesthetic tool, and we want to make sure it’s right for you. OptiPLUS may be right for you if:

You want to address visible signs of aging like wrinkles, fine lines, loose skin, and an uneven skin tone.
You are seeking improved skin texture.
You’re dealing with eye irritation, grittiness, or vision problems related to dry eye disease.
You’re looking for a noninvasive way to achieve a radiant, youthful glow.

Ultimately, your doctor is the only person who can determine whether this option is right for you. During your next appointment, ask us if you are a good candidate for OptiPLUS by Lumenis.

Renew Your Inner Beauty

Our team is proud to offer solutions for people seeking noninvasive yet powerful treatments that can help them achieve their aesthetic goals. Whether you desire smoother, tighter skin or a radiant glow and dry eye relief, OptiPLUS could be worth considering.

Schedule a consultation today to discover how OptiPLUS by Lumenis can redefine your aesthetic journey.
