Introducing Lumenis OptiLift

Discover Lumenis OptiLift - new technology for a gentle eyelid and facelift without any downtime! The OptiLift uses dynamic muscle stimulation technology (DMSt) to stimulate the orbicularis muscle and the tighten the lower eyelid. This technology also uses radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production at the same time to create a lifted appearance. DMSt tightens and strengthens the eyelid muscles (upper and lower) like nothing else to fight gravity as we age and our eyelids age.

Dr. Pradhan is committed to bringing advanced, innovative technology to our patients and is proud to be the first ophthalmologist in the Richmond, VA area to offer OptiLift. We’re also excited to welcome Mrs. Cindy Kapinos, a certified nurse practitioner in OptiLift, who will be providing treatments on Tuesday mornings to offer even more scheduling convenience.

OptiLift is not covered by insurance. Call us at 804-270-3333 to schedule your consultation!

See the Difference: One OptiLift Treatment for Eyelid Support

The OptiLift is a technology designed to improve lower lid laxity and poor blink—common contributors to dry eye—whether from Bell’s palsy, chronic computer fatigue, or mild floppy eyelid syndrome caused by eye rubbing. Safe for all skin types, OptiLift offers a unique, rejuvenating solution to support eyelid function as we age.

Contraindications include metal in the treatment area, implantable electronic devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, and recent Botox around the eyes within the last 3–4 months.

How OptiLift Works to Improve Your Eye Health

  • Improve blinking and tear distribution for healthier, more comfortable eyes
  • Support natural eyelid position and reduce lower eyelid laxity
  • Protect the cornea from dryness and exposure
  • Enhance overall eye comfort and function
