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

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.
