What Is InMode Forma Radiofrequency?

InMode Forma Radiofrequency uses safe, controlled energy to help improve comfort for people with dry eye. The InMode Envision device which features the Forma Radiofrequency is part of our commitment to offering some of the most advanced dry eye treatment options in the Bay Area.

Healthy tear function depends on well-behaving glands and balanced moisture on the eye surface. When glands are blocked or irritated, dry eye symptoms like burning, itchiness, and redness can take over your day. Forma Radiofrequency works by:

  • Revitalizing the glands around your eyelids
  • Encouraging improved oil flow in your tears
  • Reducing inflammation that contributes to irritation

This means your tears stay balanced longer and your eyes feel calmer throughout the day. At The Eye Spa by Optical Illusions, we use it specifically to treat Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a major contributor to chronic dry eye.

How Forma Helps with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Restores Comfort and Balance

Instead of covering up symptoms, Forma helps your eyelids and glands work more comfortably. Patients often notice:

  • Less irritation
  • Reduced dryness
  • Fewer flare-ups throughout the day

Encourages Better Tear Quality

Tears are made of water, oil, and mucus. When the oil layer is thin or disrupted, tears evaporate fast. Forma Radiofrequency helps to restore meibomian gland function and promote more natural oil production so your tears last longer and feel more soothing.

Soothes Inflammation

Chronic inflammation can leave eyes feeling red, reactive, or constantly dry. Forma Radiofrequency helps calm the skin and eyelids to reduce ongoing sensitivity.
