How does TriLift Dry Eye Treatment work?

TriLift was developed as a skin and facial treatment, but it has been found to also help people with dry eye symptoms linked to poor or incomplete blinking, and or poor meibomium gland function.

Better eyelid muscle function

The muscle stimulation (DMSt – Dynamic Muscle Stimulation from the TriLift probe applied externally to the skin over key eye muscles) helps improve the strength and completeness of the blink. A full blink is important for spreading tears evenly across the eye.

Improved tear distribution

When blinking is more effective, tears are spread more evenly, which can help reduce dryness and irritation.

Support for oil glands in the eyelids

Good blinking also helps the oil glands (meibomian gland) in the eyelids work properly. Surface radiofrequency applied from the TriLift probe as it massages the skin around the eyes also stimulates the skin and these glands around the eyes. The oils produced by the meibomium glands are important because they stop tears from drying out too quickly.

Extra cosmetic benefits

As well as functional improvements, TriLift can also help improve the appearance around the eyes, including fine lines, crepey skin, undereye heaviness, and a tired look.

What to expect during treatment

A TriLift dry eye session usually takes 15-30 minutes, with about 5 minutes per eye. It combines dynamic muscle stimulation and surface radiofrequency skin tightening around the eye area.

• Feeling: gentle muscle pulses with a warm sensation
• Downtime: none to minimal
• Treatment plan: a series of 6 weekly sessions is usually recommended for best results

Some people may notice a slight lifting effect straight away, with continued improvement over the following weeks as collagen builds in the skin
