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.
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.
Treats Demodex Infestation
The treatment is particularly effective in addressing demodex mites, which can cause irritation and exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
Quick and Convenient
The procedure is performed in-office and typically takes only a short time, allowing patients to receive relief without a lengthy commitment.
Immediate Results
Many patients experience noticeable improvement in their symptoms after just one treatment, providing quick relief from discomfort.
No, ZEST is generally painless. Many patients describe the sensation as a mild warming or tingling during the treatment. There is typically no discomfort afterward, and no anesthesia is required.
The entire ZEST procedure usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes. It is performed in-office and does not require any downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately.
The frequency of ZEST treatments depends on individual needs and the severity of the condition. Some patients may benefit from periodic treatments every few months, while others might require more frequent sessions. Your eye care professional will recommend a personalized treatment schedule based on your specific situation.
ZEST is generally well-tolerated. Some patients may experience mild redness or a slight tingling sensation immediately after the procedure, but these effects typically resolve within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare.
