Clinical Results
Data from a 30-patient study by Dr. James Chelnis, MD, FACS — published in Clinical Ophthalmology, 2025
How It Works
Gentle electrical impulses activate the periorbital muscles at their points of origin, increasing resting tone and supporting the natural structure of your eyelids. The result: tighter, lifted lower lids and improved blink quality.
Topical RF delivers targeted heat to tissue layers, promoting collagen production, improving meibomian gland function, and warming stale meibum to restore natural oil flow — addressing both aesthetics and dry eye.
OptiLIFT is the first device to combine DMSt and RF in a single handpiece, delivering both muscle toning and collagen stimulation in one efficient 14-minute treatment session.

Your Journey
01
We assess your lower lid laxity, blink quality, and dry eye symptoms to determine if OptiLIFT is right for you. We'll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.
02
4 sessions, one week apart. Each takes just 14 minutes — 7 minutes per side. The handpiece glides along the inferior orbital rim in a gentle back-and-forth motion.
03
Visible improvement after 1–2 sessions. Results continue to build through sessions 3 and 4 without plateau. Each treatment strengthens the muscles further.
04
Periodic maintenance sessions sustain your results long-term. We'll recommend a schedule based on your individual response. No ongoing medication or daily regimen required.
Is It Right for You?
Lower lid laxity is more common than most people realize — affecting 78.3% of patients visiting ophthalmology for eyelid concerns. We lose 3–8% of skeletal muscle mass each decade after age 30, and the delicate muscles around the eyes are among the first affected.

Common Questions
OptiLIFT is a non-surgical eyelid treatment by Lumenis that uses Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt) technology combined with Radio Frequency (RF). Gentle electrical impulses activate and tone the periorbital muscles around your eyes — like a barre class for your eyelids — while RF energy stimulates collagen production and improves meibomian gland function. The result is tighter, lifted lower eyelids and improved dry eye symptoms, all without surgery.
For patients with mild-to-moderate lower lid laxity, OptiLIFT offers a compelling non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty. Unlike surgery, there are no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime, and the treatment is designed to be gentle on dry eyes. In clinical studies, OptiLIFT achieved a 75% decrease in lower lid laxity. However, patients with severe excess skin or significant upper lid drooping may still benefit from surgical blepharoplasty. During your consultation, we'll assess your specific needs and recommend the best approach.
The standard OptiLIFT protocol consists of 4 sessions spaced one week apart. Each session takes approximately 14 minutes (7 minutes per side). Results are visible after 1–2 treatments and continue to improve progressively through sessions 3 and 4. Clinical data shows metrics continued to improve without plateau — each treatment builds on the previous one.
OptiLIFT is very comfortable. Patients describe the sensation as gentle tingling or mild warmth around the eye area. There is zero downtime — you can return to your normal activities, including wearing makeup, immediately after treatment. No bruising, no swelling, no recovery period.
OptiLIFT is $650 per session at The Last Optical. A full course of 4 sessions totals $2,600. Compared to surgical blepharoplasty at $3,000–$6,000+ per eye, OptiLIFT offers significant cost savings along with the benefits of no surgery, no downtime, and improved dry eye symptoms. We accept HSA and FSA payments.
OptiLIFT is ideal for patients experiencing mild-to-moderate lower lid laxity — which is highly prevalent, affecting 78.3% of patients visiting ophthalmology for eyelid concerns. Good candidates include those who notice sagging lower eyelids, a tired appearance, incomplete blinking, or dry eye symptoms related to poor lid seal. It's also excellent for patients who want cosmetic improvement but aren't ready for or don't qualify for surgery.
Absolutely. Many of our patients achieve optimal results with our triple-therapy approach: OptiLIFT for eyelid toning, OptiLIGHT IPL for inflammation reduction, and OptiPLUS RF for collagen stimulation and gland function. This comprehensive protocol addresses dry eye from multiple angles while delivering both medical and aesthetic benefits.
Clinical studies show progressive improvement through the 4-session protocol, with results continuing to build after each treatment. Like any muscle-toning regimen, periodic maintenance sessions help sustain the benefits long-term. We'll work with you to develop a maintenance schedule based on your individual response and goals.
