Haute Beauty sits down with Dr. Sodhi Gaur to learn more about BlephEx, her treatment for debris build-up in the eyelid, and a common eyelid condition called blepharitis.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

HB: What is BelphEx?<\/h3>\n

BlephEx™ is an in-office procedure that eliminates scrub, bacterial debris, and biofilm that builds up along the eyelid margin. This treatment is specially for a very common inflammatory eyelid condition called blepharitis. Common symptoms of this condition include itchy eyes, foreign body sensation in the eyes, tearing, lid inflammation\/redness, mattering, and dry eyes. When traditional treatments of eyelid scrubs or commercially available lid care products fail, this procedure is very effective in eliminating symptoms.<\/p>\n

HB: How does BlephEx work?<\/h3>\n

BlephEx™ is a revolutionary patented handpiece device, used to very precisely and carefully, spin a medical grade micro-sponge along the edge of the eyelids and lashes. This removes debris, reducing bacterial overgrowth. The procedure lasts 6-8 minutes.<\/p>\n

HB: Who is a good candidate for this procedure?<\/h3>\n

Anyone affected with mild to severe blepharitis.<\/p>\n

HB: How do you work with patients to achieve the desired outcome?<\/h3>\n

After patients receive and treatment, they are counseled to continue to maintain at-home good lid hygiene such as lid wipes, gentle lid scrubs with baby shampoo, and good makeup hygiene.<\/p>\n

HB: Does this require more than one treatment?<\/h3>\n

Some individuals only require one treatment; however, most individuals typically need treatments every 6-12 months.<\/p>\n

HB: Are results permanent?<\/h3>\n

No, as mentioned this treatment is targeted to significantly reduce eyelid inflammation; however, it is not curative. Blephex is extremely helpful when home remedies fail to improve symptoms. It is important to continue good lid hygiene after the treatments to control blepharitis and avoid flare-ups.<\/p>\n

HB: What is recovery like?<\/h3>\n

There is no downtime after the procedure so you can resume normal activities immediately<\/p>\n

HB: What is the average cost?<\/h3>\n

The average cost is approximately $300 per treatment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
