@therealjanemcgarry: 🔍✨ "Fingers crossed this helps me!" ✨🔍 The shields feel a bit strange, but they protect my eyes from the intense light pulses. Once they're in place, the doctor applies a soothing gel and begins the IPL magic. IPL uses light pulses to heat the skin around the eyelids, reducing inflammation and clearing blockages in the meibomian glands. This helps them produce the oil needed to keep our eyes lubricated. 👁️💧 Did you know "Dry Eye" is more common in women post-menopause? 🙋♀️ Plus, all that screen time doesn't help! After IPL, the doctors at @Key Whitman finish with Radiofrequency (RF) treatments to melt any remaining blockages. I'll be back for a few more sessions, spaced two weeks apart. Fingers crossed for relief! 🤞 #DryEyeJourney #IPLtherapy #HealthyEyes #SelfCare #WomenSupportingWomen
