OptiLift by Lumenis uses a combination of:

• Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMST) - gentle electrical pulses that act the muscles around the eyes, improving tone, reducing puffiness, and enhancing blink function.
• Low-level Radiofrequency (RF) - provides targeted warmth to stimulat collagen production and decrease fine lines by improving skin firmness.

This dual-action technology helps you look more rested and refreshed - whil also supporting healthy meibomian gland function and improving tear film stability for patients with evaporative dry eye.

OptiLift may be right for you if you have:

• A desire for brighter, lifted eyes without injectables or downtime
• Puffiness, sagging, fluid retention, or dark circles under the eyes
• Tired, heavy eyes from long hours at a screen
• Contact lens discomfort
• Dryness and irritation that is worse upon waking

You'll relax in a treatment chair while a cool gel is applied to the skin below your eyes. Using a small handheld device, we'll deliver warmth and gentle pulses of electricity to the upper cheeks and lower eyelids. The treatment takes about 15-20 minutes, is non-invasive, and requires no downtime. You'll look and feel more rested immediately.

While both treatments involve treatments to the muscle around the eye (orbicularis oculi), they work in different ways. Botox relaxes the muscle to smooth dynamic lines like crow’s feet. OptiLift tones and activates the muscle, especially beneath the eyes, to reduce puffiness, improve firmness, and support better eyelid function.

​​​​​​​Rather than choosing one or the other, OptiLift and Botox can be complementary — Botox softens fine lines at the outer corners, while OptiLift lifts and refreshes the under-eye area. Many patients choose to do both for natural, balanced results.

No — OptiLift is non-surgical and does not remove excess skin. However, it’s an excellent option for patients with early signs of eyelid laxity, heaviness, or fatigue who are not yet ready for surgery. It can also be used as a post-blepharoplasty maintenance treatment to support muscle tone and prolong aesthetic results.

Yes. OptiLift was designed with ocular wellness in mind. By stimulating the muscles responsible for blinking, it helps promote more complete eyelid closure, which is essential for spreading tears evenly and protecting the eye surface.

​​​​​​​This is especially beneficial for patients with evaporative dry eye due to poor meibomian gland function or lagophthalmos (incomplete eyelid closure), a common cause of dry eye that’s often worse in the morning. By improving lid seal and blink mechanics, OptiLift helps support natural oil flow, protect the eyes during sleep, and reduce irritation throughout the day

We recommend starting with a series of 4 treatments, spaced about 1–2 weeks apart. Results build gradually with each session. Many patients then continue with maintenance treatments every 3 months to preserve both the comfort and aesthetic benefits.

No downtime is required. OptiLift is gentle, non-invasive, and well-tolerated. You may experience a mild warming sensation or light flushing right after treatment, but this resolves quickly — most patients return to their day immediately.

Many patients notice that their eyes feel less puffy, more awake, and more comfortable immediately after the first session. However, the full benefits of OptiLift — including improvements in tone, lid contour, and tear film quality — typically develop gradually over a series of 4 treatments. Results are subtle, natural, and cumulative. For best long-term results, we recommend our maintenance subscription after your initial series.
