“…The clinical safety and tolerability of IPL therapy have been confirmed by numerous clinical studies which report no major adverse events following IPL therapy [14,16,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. However, minor or transient side effects, including mild pain, light sensitivity, eyelash loss, eyelid erythema, crusting, hyperpigmentation, and blistering have been described [12,[29][30][31].…”

“…The lack of collagen ibers causes a reduction in meibomian pumping, leading to a decrease in TRFL (tear ilm rupture time). From photomodulation, there is stimulation of ibroblast proliferation and increased collagen concentration in the skin, increasing the pressure required on the eyelid margin and normalizing glandular drainage [5][6][7]13]. Demodex is a type of ectoparasite present in the sebaceous and meibomian glands.…”

“…Demodex is a type of ectoparasite present in the sebaceous and meibomian glands. Its proliferation causes the increase of bacteria in the eyelid region, among them, Bacillus oleronius [6][7][8]. This bacterium elicits a chronic in lammatory response and acts locally through the production of toxic substances that modify the tear lipid layer [7,14].…”
