They have been improved to treat and manage dry eye, as well as styes and chalazions. The treatment prevents the recurrence of a stye or chalazion in the same gland.

About Photorejuvenation
Photorejuvenation refers to the use of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) to treat conditions related to sun-induced skin damage. IPL uses a broad spectrum of light, which is primarily absorbed by melanin and oxyhemoglobin and is effective in reducing the appearance of sun spots, capillaries, elastosis, and fine lines.
