February is all about love—especially self-love—and there’s no better time to pamper yourself. Did you know that studies reveal the eyes are often seen as the most attractive feature of the face? That’s why taking care of your eyes is essential to your beauty routine. As one of the first things people notice, your eyes play a huge role in shaping how you’re perceived and how you communicate with the world around you.
At Carolina Eye Doctors, we believe true beauty starts with healthy eyes. As eye care specialists, we understand the intricate connection between facial anatomy and overall aesthetics. While beautiful eyes are essential, they’re just one piece of the puzzle. That’s why we’re committed to not only protecting your vision but also helping you look and feel your best.
We’re thrilled to introduce triLift—a groundbreaking aesthetic treatment that tones facial muscles, smooths wrinkles, and resurfaces the skin for a lift-like effect.
Bridging Vision and Beauty: The Perfect Partnership
Eye health and beauty go hand in hand. Taking care of your eyes not only improves your vision but also enhances your natural beauty —after all, red, irritated eyes are far from appealing! Since 2020, our office has proudly featured a dedicated licensed aesthetician who blends eye care with facial aesthetics, specializing in treatments like chemical peels, dermaplaning, and advanced skincare therapies such as radiofrequency and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL).
While it may seem like an unexpected combination, the year 2021 marked a breakthrough when OptiLIGHT, an IPL device commonly used for various skin conditions, was FDA-approved to treat the signs and symptoms of Dry Eye Disease. While dermatology patients were enjoying benefits like collagen stimulation, improved skin texture, reduced pigmentation, and treatment for redness or acne, a surprising discovery was made: the IPL treatments also reactivated the meibomian glands, which are responsible for maintaining healthy tears and preventing Dry Eye Disease. This highlighted the harmonious connection between eye health and beauty.
Flawless Focus by CED – Your Doorway to Radiant Skin and Optimal Eye Health
We believe in being early adopters when it comes to clinically proven research. In June of 2021 Carolina Eye Doctors was one of the first in the nation to implement OptiLIGHT.
In July 2022, Carolina Eye Doctors served as a clinical research site to evaluate the effectiveness of radiofrequency combined with IPL in treating Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, with Dr. Garcia serving as one of the primary investigators. The study transformed the standard of care by demonstrating that adding radiofrequency delivered superior results faster for dry eye sufferers.
Carolina Eye Doctors is proud to once again lead the way by becoming the FIRST in the Charlotte region to adopt triLift, reaffirming our commitment to providing Harrisburg, and the greater Charlotte area, with early access to clinically proven, innovative treatments.
“Lift, Tone, and Smooth: The Science Behind triLift Facial Rejuvenation”
As we age, facial muscles can weaken and stretch, leading to a sagging appearance. triLift is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment designed to restore a youthful look by lifting, toning, and smoothing the Glamour Facial Muscles—the key muscle groups that define and sculpt the face.
Achieve a naturally lifted appearance by targeting key areas such as the jawline, cheeks, and around the eyes for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
triLift integrates three advanced technologies to provide a powerful rejuvenation solution:
Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt)
Activates facial muscles to tighten and tone, especially around the jawline, cheeks, and under the eyes, lifting and firming the skin for a more defined, youthful look.
Radiofrequency (RF)
Tightens skin, improves elasticity, and boosts collagen production, reducing sagging and smoothing fine lines.
Radiofrequency Microneedling
Stimulates collagen and improves skin texture, targeting wrinkles, sagging, acne scars, and dull skin for a smoother, revitalized appearance.
These three technologies work synergistically to address the key elements of aging: muscle tone, skin elasticity, and facial volume.
In just 20-30 minutes, triLift naturally activates the facial muscles, creating a defined, lifted look with no downtime, surgery or injections. Results are visible immediately and continue to improve with each session.
triLift Isn’t Just About Looks—We’ve Got Eyecare Covered Too
Imagine the benefits of a non-surgical, non-injectable solution that reduces lines and wrinkles while tackling droopy eyelids, under-eye bags, sagging skin, and crow’s feet.
At Carolina Eye Doctors, we understand that self-pampering can sometimes feel like a guilty pleasure, but here’s the exciting news: Lumenis, the trusted name behind OptiLIGHT and OptiPLUS, has validated triLift’s important role in eye health.
Improved Tear Production: triLift’s dynamic muscle stimulation feature targets the orbicularis oculi, the muscle responsible for blinking. This stimulation triggers a rapid blinking reflex, which has been shown to enhance tear production and reduce dry eye symptoms.
Reduction of Lid Laxity: Lid laxity, a common contributor to dry eye, not only affects the appearance of your eyes but also disrupts their natural function. The eyelids are crucial for spreading tears evenly across the eye’s surface, and when they’re not doing their job properly, discomfort and irritation follow.
Relieves Symptoms of Lagophthalmos: Lagophthalmos, where your eyelids don’t fully close while you sleep, can leave you waking up with dry, irritated eyes. However with triLift, you no longer need to resort to surgery to restore your eyelids to their natural position. This innovative treatment reactivates the muscles around your eyes, helping to lift and rejuvenate them, while easing morning irritation.
With triLift, you can achieve a rejuvenated, youthful look while improving your eye health—because beauty and function go hand in hand.
Eye Beauty: The Heart of Overall Radiance
Be among the first to discover the transformative power of triLift—a groundbreaking treatment that naturally rejuvenates your appearance by enhancing your jawline, lifting your cheeks, and brightening your eyes.
