Jett Plasma Dry Eye Treatment in Edmonton
A gentle, non-invasive plasma treatment that supports eyelid and oil-gland health for evaporative dry eye.
What Is Jett Plasma Dry Eye Treatment?
Jett Plasma is an in-office treatment that delivers gentle, low-temperature plasma energy to the skin along the eyelid margins. This energy helps stimulate the tissue around the meibomian glands, the glands that produce the oil layer of your tear film.
Healthier oil flow helps keep the tear film stable so tears evaporate more slowly. Jett Plasma is often used as part of a broader plan for evaporative dry eye and eyelid concerns. Whether it suits your eyes is determined during your Initial Dry Eye Assessment (IDEA).
