IPL
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment from Quadra Q4 Platinum Series, made by DermaMed Solutions. With the eyes patched closed the IPL was applied to the surface of the skin by the way of a hand-held wand in 30 spots over the skin in the lower lid, cheek area, and nose area starting and ending from in front of each ear.
Meibomian Gland Expression
After the IPL was applied, the eyes were numbed for 15 minutes with a numbing drop, and a sterile cotton swab was used to squeeze the eyelids and express clogged oil secretions from the miebomian glands.
