ZEST Blepharo Exfoliation

Learn More

At Luxe Eye and Wellness, we use advanced digital retinal imaging to evaluate the health of your eyes without the need for traditional dilation drops. Our optometry office in Old Town Alexandria offers Optomap wide angle retinal imaging, which captures a detailed view of the retina in seconds. This technology allows our doctors to screen for retinal conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal tears while minimizing discomfort and avoiding the side effects of dilation. The imaging process lets patients see the back of their eyes just as the doctor does and is safe for children, adults, and pregnant patients seeking comprehensive eye exams in Alexandria VA.

How ZEST Blepharo Exfoliation Works

Using a gentle, controlled technique, ZEST Blepharo Exfoliation effectively removes debris, dead skin cells, and excess oils from the eyelid surface. The treatment involves:



  • Exfoliating the Eyelid Surface: A specialized device gently exfoliates the outer layer of skin around the eyelids, removing clogged pores and debris that can contribute to irritation, inflammation, and infection.
  • Stimulating the Meibomian Glands: By helping to clear the meibomian glands (which produce the oily layer of the tear film), the treatment promotes better oil secretion and helps alleviate dry eye symptoms caused by meibomian gland dysfunction.
  • Improving Lid Hygiene: Regular exfoliation helps maintain cleanliness and prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria or oils that can contribute to conditions like blepharitis or eyelid inflammation.
