What is Forma-I™ Dry Eye Therapy?

Forma-I Dry Eye Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve symptoms of dry eye by gently heating the eyelids to improve meibomian gland function, which is essential for healthy tear production.

What causes dry eye?

Dry eye is often caused by poor oil (lipid) production from the meibomian glands. When these glands become blocked or dysfunctional, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dryness, irritation, burning, and blurry vision.

How does Forma-I treat dry eye?

Forma-I uses controlled radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently warm the eyelids. This heat helps:

• Unclog blocked meibomian glands

• Improve oil flow into the tear film

• Reduce tear evaporation

• Restore natural tear balance

The result is improved comfort and eye moisture over time.

What symptoms does Forma-I help improve?

Forma-I Dry Eye Therapy may help relieve:

• Dryness or gritty sensation

• Burning or irritation

• Watery eyes

• Redness

• Eye fatigue

• Blurry or fluctuating vision

What is a fractional CO₂ laser?

A fractional CO₂ laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that uses targeted laser energy to create microscopic treatment zones in the skin. This process stimulates collagen production while leaving surrounding skin intact, allowing for more effective rejuvenation with controlled healing.

What does fractional CO₂ laser treat?

Fractional CO₂ laser is commonly used to improve:

• Deep wrinkles and fine lines

• Sun damage and pigmentation

• Acne scars and textural irregularities

• Enlarged pores

• Skin laxity

• Overall skin tone, texture, and firmness

It is considered one of the most powerful treatments for skin renewal.

How does fractional CO₂ laser work?

The laser delivers precise columns of energy into the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to:

• New collagen and elastin production

• Smoother texture

• Firmer, healthier-looking skin

Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at one time, healing is more efficient than traditional fully ablative resurfacing.

Does fractional CO₂ laser hurt?

Topical numbing is applied prior to treatment, and additional comfort measures may be used. Patients typically experience heat and pressure during treatment. Post-treatment discomfort is expected but manageable and temporary.

Is there downtime after fractional CO₂ laser?

Yes. Fractional CO₂ laser involves planned downtime, which may include:

• Redness and swelling

• Skin sensitivity and tightness

• Visible peeling or crusting

• Several days to weeks of healing, depending on treatment depth

Your provider will review expected downtime before treatment.

Will I peel after treatment?

Yes. Peeling and skin shedding are a normal part of the healing process and are expected after fractional CO₂ laser treatment.

How long does a fractional CO₂ laser treatment take?

The treatment itself typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and intensity. Additional time is required for numbing.

How many treatments will I need?

Many patients achieve significant results with one treatment, though some may benefit from additional sessions depending on skin concerns and goals.

When will I see results?

Initial improvements may be seen once healing is complete. Collagen remodeling continues for several months, with results continuing to improve over time.

Can fractional CO₂ laser be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Fractional CO₂ laser is often incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan and may be combined with injectables or other skin treatments at appropriate intervals.

Is fractional CO₂ laser safe for all skin types?

Fractional CO₂ laser is not appropriate for all skin tones or skin conditions. A thorough consultation is required to determine candidacy and minimize the risk of pigmentation changes.

What is medical-grade skincare?

Medical-grade skincare refers to clinically tested, physician-dispensed products formulated with higher concentrations of active ingredients. These products are designed to penetrate deeper into the skin and deliver measurable, science-backed results.

Unlike over-the-counter products, medical-grade skincare is recommended as part of a personalized treatment plan.

How is medical-grade skincare different from store brands?

Medical-grade skincare differs in several key ways:

• Higher concentrations of active ingredients

• Clinical research supporting efficacy

• Advanced delivery systems for deeper penetration

• Professional guidance for proper use

Over-the-counter and social media–trending products often focus on marketing rather than long-term skin health and structural change.

Why do I need professional guidance?

Using active ingredients incorrectly can lead to irritation, pigment changes, or poor results. A provider-guided plan ensures:

• Proper product selection

• Correct layering and timing

• Adjustments based on your skin’s response

• Long-term improvement rather than temporary glow

Which brands do you carry?

We carry clinically respected, physician-dispensed brands, including:

• ZO Skin Health

• Alastin Skincare

• Skinbetter Science

• SkinCeuticals

• PCA Skin

• Revision Skincare

• EltaMD

Each brand serves a specific purpose, and recommendations are tailored to your skin type, goals, and treatment plan.

Do I need medical-grade skincare if I’m getting treatments?

Yes. In-office treatments create change, but daily skincare maintains and enhances results. Without proper home care, results may be limited or short-lived.

Think of treatments as the reset and skincare as the maintenance.

Is medical-grade skincare safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, when properly selected. Your provider will recommend products appropriate for your skin type, sensitivity level, and current treatment plan.

How long before I see results?

Some improvements may be visible within weeks, but true structural improvement occurs over time with consistent use. Long-term compliance produces the best outcomes.

Can I buy these products online?

Many physician-dispensed brands are restricted to authorized providers to ensure authenticity and proper guidance. Purchasing through a medical provider ensures product integrity and professional oversight.

What is NeurotriS®?

NeurotriS is a non-invasive facial toning treatment that uses microcurrent technology to stimulate and retrain facial muscles. It helps improve muscle tone, circulation, and overall skin firmness without injections or downtime.

It is often used as a preventative or maintenance treatment.

How does NeurotriS work?

NeurotriS delivers low-level electrical impulses that gently stimulate facial muscles. This:

• Re-educates and tones weakened muscles

• Improves circulation

• Enhances lymphatic drainage

• Supports firmer, more lifted-looking skin

Think muscle training for your face.

Does NeurotriS hurt?

No. Treatment is comfortable. Patients may feel a mild tingling or gentle muscle contraction, but it is well tolerated.

What is a PRP Facial?

A PRP Facial combines microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood. PRP contains concentrated growth factors that support collagen production, tissue repair, and overall skin rejuvenation.

This treatment enhances natural healing and improves skin quality from within.

What does a PRP Facial treat?

A PRP Facial is commonly used to improve:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars

• Uneven texture

• Dull or thinning skin

• Enlarged pores

• Overall skin tone and firmness

It is ideal for patients seeking regenerative, natural-looking improvement.

How does PRP work?

A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed to isolate platelet-rich plasma. The PRP is then applied during microneedling, allowing growth factors to penetrate through controlled microchannels in the skin.

This stimulates collagen production and accelerates tissue repair.

Does a PRP Facial hurt?

Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Most patients describe the procedure as tolerable, with mild pressure or vibration during microneedling.

Is there downtime after a PRP Facial?

You may experience:

• Redness similar to a sunburn

• Mild swelling

• Tightness or dryness

• Light flaking

Redness typically resolves within 24–72 hours, depending on treatment depth.

How long does the treatment take?

The full procedure typically takes 45–60 minutes, including blood draw and numbing time.

How many treatments will I need?

A series of treatments is often recommended for optimal collagen stimulation and scar improvement. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your goals.

When will I see results?

Initial improvement in glow and texture may appear within the first week. Collagen remodeling continues over several weeks, with progressive improvement over time.

Is PRP safe?

Yes. Because PRP is derived from your own blood, there is minimal risk of allergic reaction. It is a safe, natural approach when performed by a trained medical provider.

Who should not receive a PRP Facial?

PRP may not be recommended for patients who:

• Are pregnant

• Have certain blood disorders

• Are on specific anticoagulant medications

• Have active infections

How do I prepare for my appointment?
