Guangmoun treatment process: refers to a diagnosis and treatment plan with strong pulsed light as the core, combined with atomization, meibomian gland massage, cold compress, etc., which uses strong pulsed light waves to penetrate the skin and deeply heat the meibomian glands to dissolve old And stubborn meibum, promote the discharge of meibum through massage, so as to dredge meibomian glands and relieve dry eyes. At the same time, the instantaneous high temperature generated by strong pulsed light can help kill mites living in the eyelash follicles and meibomian gland openings, achieving better mite removal effects.
