Chalazion & Stye

A chalazion, or Meibomian cyst, is a common non-infectious inflammation of the eyelid caused by blockage of a Meibomian gland. 
This leads to a buildup of irritating lipids, resulting in swelling and irritation. In some cases, the chalazion may enlarge and extend through the eyelid. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent chronic complications or progression into a stye.

A stye, or hordeolum, is a common infection of the eyelid's sebaceous glands, often caused by Staphylococcus bacteria. It appears as a painful lump, typically near the lash root, accompanied by redness, swelling, and edema.
Within 2-4 days, the stye usually drains on its own. An internal hordeolum affects a Meibomian gland, while an external one forms near the follicle.

Suggested Protocols

High thermal impact and therefore IPL is not to be used. The treatment consist of an application with the standard supply red light mask. Red light stimulates ATP by increasing and improving cellular activity, it reduces inflammation and oedema and works on meibomian glands.
