Rejuvenate Your Eyelids & Soothe Dry Eye Symptoms with Nonsurgical Eyelid Rejuvenation
Don’t let visible signs of aging be the first thing the world notices about you.
OptiLIFT is a nonsurgical treatment that softens the visible signs of aging, improves how your eyelids move, and strengthens the function of your blink. If you’re living with chronic dry eye symptoms, OptiLIFT can also improve your tear quality for long-lasting, refreshed eyes.
OptiLIFT uses noninvasive dynamic muscle stimulation combined with radiofrequency (RF) energy to provide a noticeable improvement in the function and look of your eyelids.

Request AppointmentHow Does OptiLIFT Eyelid Rejuvenation Work?
OptiLIFT uses a special combination of dynamic muscle stimulation and radiofrequency (RF) to target visible signs of aging around the eyes and improve dry eye symptoms. It’s designed to:
- Lift and tighten loose eyelid skin
- Strengthen eyelid muscles for better blinking
- Refresh the appearance of the skin around your eyes
- Improve the function of the meibomian glands (key players in dry eye) that supply essential oils to your tears
This powerful combination enhances how your eyelids work to protect your eye with every blink, which is important for managing dry eye disease.
Why Eyelid Function Matters for Dry Eye
Healthy blinking is essential for healthy eyes. If your lids are loose or your blinks are weak, your eyes may not be getting the restorative lubrication they need, possibly leading to or worsening dry eye symptoms. More than 60% of people with dry eye also struggle with incomplete eyelid closure.
Special glands that line your eyelids (meibomian glands) produce the oils that keep your tears from evaporating too quickly. When they don’t function properly, you may experience:
- Watery, irritated eyes
- Blurred vision
- A burning or gritty sensation
- Increased tear evaporation
How Does OptiLIFT Work?
OptiLIFT combines 2 powerful technologies into 1 streamlined treatment that targets eyelid laxity.
- Radiofrequency (RF): Gently warms deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen, tighten loose eyelid tissue, and reduce fine lines.
- Dynamic muscle stimulation (DMSt): Uses safe, precise electrical pulses to help strengthen the muscles responsible for blinking and eyelid movement. It’s like a workout for the muscles around your eyes.
Together, these therapies offer a rejuvenating treatment with both wellness and cosmetic benefits. We typically recommend 4 OptiLIFT treatments to see full results.
What to Expect
Before Your Treatment
Come with clean skin and no eye makeup (we can remove it for you if needed). You’ll be guided through the process, have your questions answered, and be made to feel completely at ease.
During Your Treatment
The procedure is noninvasive and typically well-tolerated. During the RF phase, you’ll feel warmth, and during DMSt, you’ll notice gentle muscle stimulation in the area below your eyelids.
After Your Treatment
You may notice slight redness or sensitivity in the treated area, which usually resolves within a few hours. You can return to normal activities right away.
Am I a Candidate for OptiLIFT Eyelid Rejuvenation?
OptiLIFT is designed for adults experiencing:
- Mild to moderate eyelid laxity
- Incomplete or inefficient blinking
- Chronic dry eye symptoms
- A desire for a more lifted, refreshed appearance
It may not be suitable for people with certain skin conditions or a history of scarring around the eyes. A personalized consultation with our team will help determine if OptiLIFT is the right fit for your needs.
