Eye-Light LLLT For Dry Eyes

A gentle, clinically guided light treatment for overall eye care, dry eye condition and eye rejuvenation. By utilising photobiomodulation to enhance cellular function, the Eye-Light helps restore balance in dry, fatigued, or inflamed eyes, while improving the skin’s tone, texture and resilience.

Our comprehensive approach to eye health and concerns

The eye area requires precise, medically guided care, both for functional comfort and aesthetic harmony. At Ascension, we offer Eye-Light LLLT to support the health of the eyes and the surrounding skin, with results that can be both seen and felt.

This advanced light therapy is used to treat common ocular concerns including dry eye disease, meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, and post-operative swelling. It also provides visible skin benefits by improving tone, texture, and resilience in the delicate under-eye region.

Backed by clinical research in ophthalmology and dermatology, Eye-Light LLLT uses calibrated wavelengths of light to trigger cellular regeneration and reduce inflammation without downtime.

Led by Dr. Scott Allison, our experienced team ensures each treatment is tailored to your needs, whether used as a standalone therapy or as part of recovery following eyelid surgery or aesthetic procedures.

What is Eye-Light LLLT?

Originally developed from photobiomodulation technology used in space medicine, Eye-Light LLLT is a refined form of Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) that works at a cellular level to encourage tissue repair, improve tear production, and calm inflammation.

At Ascension, we use the LM® Eye-Light® system—a medical-grade device offering red (633nm) LED wavelength in a single integrated mask. Designed specifically for the periocular area, it’s certified for both ophthalmic and dermatologic use, and delivers exceptional comfort with targeted results.

Unlike traditional surface-level LED treatments, Eye-Light penetrates deeply into tissue layers to support regeneration, restore balance, and relieve discomfort in both the eyes and surrounding skin.

Concerns we treat

Dry Eye Disease

Dry Eye Disease (DED) is one of the most common ocular conditions, often caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD), a breakdown in the oil-producing glands of the eyelids that leads to excessive tear evaporation. This disruption in tear film balance can result in eye irritation, burning, or a persistent feeling of dryness. Eye-Light LLLT supports tear stability by restoring gland function and encouraging a healthy lipid layer, offering long-term relief from discomfort and improving ocular surface health.

Ocular Rosacea

Ocular rosacea is an inflammatory condition often linked to chronic dry eye symptoms and visible redness around the eyes. Using the targeted red light wavelengths (633 nm), Eye-Light LLLT helps stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve meibomian gland performance. The result is enhanced tear quality and a visible reduction in periocular redness—bringing comfort and clarity back to the eyes.

Eye Area Rejuvenation

Fine lines, puffiness, and loss of skin elasticity around the eyes are often among the earliest signs of ageing. At Ascension, we offer a comprehensive periocular rejuvenation protocol combining Eye-Light LLLT with Tixel Eye and Rejuran i to rebuild collagen, hydrate deeply, and restore firmness to this delicate area. Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines or refresh tired-looking eyes, our integrated approach delivers results that are both natural and restorative.

About the treatment

How it works

Each Eye-Light session lasts between 15 and 30 minutes and involves wearing a specialised light-emitting mask placed gently over the eyes. With your eyes closed, the mask delivers a bright red 633 nm wavelength of light designed to stimulate ATP production, enhance cellular metabolism, and support natural tissue repair.

As the treatment draws to a close, the mask will begin to flash, signalling there is one minute remaining. Once the mask is removed, you may notice some temporary light sensitivity, which settles after a few minutes as your eyes adjust.

Benefits of Eye-Light LLLT

Eye-Light LLLT delivers therapeutic and aesthetic benefits, making it an ideal solution for a wide range of periocular concerns.

  • Improved tear film stability and ocular surface hydration
  • Relief from dry, irritated, or fatigued eyes
  • Management of inflammation associated with blepharitis or chalazion
  • Post-operative support after blepharoplasty or cataract surgery
  • Reduction of puffiness and periocular swelling
  • Softening of fine lines and enhancement of skin texture
  • Suitable for sensitive skin types and those not suitable for IPL or laser
  • Support for ocular rosacea or Demodex-related concerns

Ascension Eye Rejuvenation Package

The Eye Rejuvenation Package provides a combined approach to caring for the delicate skin and tissues around the eyes. This package brings together three different treatments to support the eye area in a single program.

Inclusions

This signature package includes:

  • Eye-Light LLLT (6 treatments) uses low-level light therapy to gently deliver specific wavelengths of light to the periorbital area. This process is designed to support circulation, hydration, and overall ocular comfort, while helping to maintain the quality of the skin and tissues around the eyes.
  • Tixel Eye (3 treatments) is a non-laser, non-invasive device that delivers controlled heat to the skin’s surface through a specialised tip. This creates a fractional effect at the epidermal level, supporting smoother texture and overall skin quality in the delicate under-eye area.
  • Rejuran i (3 treatments) is a polynucleotide-based treatment specifically formulated for use around the eyes. It is designed to support skin structure and balance in this delicate area, working in harmony with device-based treatments to provide a well-rounded program.

Together, these treatments are planned to complement one another, providing a structured program for the eye area. A consultation with a registered practitioner is required to determine suitability and tailor the plan for each individual.

Pricing

At Ascension, our treatment costs can depend on your total treatment time, number of treatment areas and number of sessions you may need.

Suitable candidates for Eye-Light LLLT

Eye-Light LLLT is a safe and non-invasive treatment, but a consultation is essential to assess your symptoms and create a tailored treatment plan.

You may be an ideal candidate if you present with:

  • Mild to moderate dry eye symptoms
  • Meibomian gland dysfunction or tear film imbalance
  • Swelling, puffiness, or inflammation around the eyes
  • Early signs of ageing in the under-eye or eyelid area
  • History of blepharitis, chalazion, or Demodex
  • Sensitivity to heat-based or invasive procedures
  • Recovery following blepharoplasty or ocular surgery

At Ascension, we take a comprehensive approach to eye health and rejuvenation, evaluating both visible symptoms and underlying contributors to create a treatment strategy that is as effective as it is nurturing.
