BlephEx is a safe and effective in-office procedure designed to clean and exfoliate the edge of the eyelids, specifically targeting the area where bacterial biofilm, excess bacteria, and bacterial toxins tend to accumulate. This accumulation can lead to various eyelid symptoms, such as itching, redness, irritation, and dryness.
By addressing these underlying causes, BlephEx helps maintain clean and healthy eyelids. During the BlephEx treatment, the doctor will use a medical-grade handheld device that gently and precisely exfoliates the base of the eyelashes and the eyelid margins. This exfoliation process effectively removes the accumulated debris, biofilm, and bacterial toxins from the eyelids, providing relief from symptoms associated with conditions like blepharitis and dry eye syndrome.
Blephasteam Treatment could be a part of your action plan to relieve symptoms relating to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). The unique eyelid warming device provides moisture and heat therapy to help relieve symptoms of MGD and other associated dry eye symptoms. Blephasteam was created to increase tear quality, lower tear evaporation, improve vision and eye health.
Blephasteam safely and effectively warms the eyelids to restore the flow of oil (meibum) from the meibomian glands. The heat and moisture provided by Blephasteam typically above 40 Degrees Celsius melt the secretions that block the meibomian glands in case of MGD, making it easier to remove the secretions using massage and pressure of the eyelids.
This specific temperature range is chosen because it is effective for liquefying the meibum (the oily secretion from the Meibomian glands) without causing discomfort or damage to the delicate skin of the eyelids or the eye itself. Blephasteam reproduces an environment that naturally enhances tear film quality and stability by reinforcing the thickness of the tear film lipid layer, that improves the eye surface health and daily comfort.
