Dry Eye Solutions

Zest

Revitalise your eyes with the ZEST Treatment at The Eye Retreat Medispa — a gentle exfoliating therapy that removes debris and bacteria from the eyelids and lashes, restoring comfort and clarity to tired eyes.

What is Zest Treatment?

The ZEST Eye Treatment (Zocular Eyelid System Treatment) is an in-clinic procedure designed to address common eye conditions such as dry eye disease, blepharitis and Demodex infestations. It uses a natural, okra-based gel to deeply cleanse the eyelids and lashes, helping to remove debris, oils, bacteria and Demodex mites that can contribute to inflammation and discomfort.

During the treatment, the gel is applied to the eyelid margins and lashes, gently massaged to create a light lather and lift away impurities, before being rinsed with a saline solution. ZEST is a gentle, non-invasive therapy, typically completed within a short appointment, and offers immediate relief with noticeable improvement for many patients after just one session. It provides a safe and effective option for those experiencing ongoing eye discomfort associated with these common conditions.
