Darwin Luvo Dry Eye technology employs either IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or RF (Radio Frequency) for effective management and treatment of dry eye symptoms.

IPL targets and reduces periocular inflammation and abnormal blood vessels, addressing underlying causes of dry eye and improving ocular surface health. RF technology gently heats the eyelid margins to stimulate meibomian gland function, enhancing tear film quality and alleviating dry eye symptoms.
