OptiPlus RF Dry Eye Treatment in Redding

If you suffer from dry, irritated, or gritty-feeling eyes, OptiPlus RF may be the breakthrough treatment you’ve been looking for. At Shasta Professional Eyecare Center, we offer Lumenis OptiPlus RF — an FDA-cleared radiofrequency treatment that targets the root causes of dry eye disease, providing lasting comfort and improved eye health.

What Is OptiPlus RF?

OptiPlus RF uses advanced dual-frequency radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver precise, controlled heat to the delicate skin and tissue around your eyes. Unlike surface-level treatments, OptiPlus RF works on two levels:

• Superficial layer: Stimulates collagen production to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines around the eyes
• Deeper tissue: Targets the meibomian glands — the oil-producing glands essential to a healthy tear film — to clear blockages, restore natural oil flow, and reduce dryness

The result? Healthier glands, better-quality tears, and long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms.

How Does OptiPlus RF Work?

During your OptiPlus RF session, a grounding pad is placed on your back and the RF handpiece is gently applied around the eye area. The device automatically alternates between its two frequencies — 1 MHz and 4 MHz — to reach different tissue depths. Each eye typically receives a 6–8 minute treatment. The process is comfortable, non-invasive, and requires no downtime.

Most patients receive a series of four treatments spaced over several weeks for optimal results.

OptiPlus RF + OptiLight IPL: Advanced Combination Therapy

OptiPlus RF works synergistically with OptiLight IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) — the two most advanced dry eye technologies available today. While OptiLight targets inflammation and clears meibomian gland blockages using light energy, OptiPlus RF adds a deeper layer of heat therapy to further restore gland function and improve tear quality. Together, they offer the most comprehensive treatment available for Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and dry eye disease.
