NuLids Pro
Eyelid Exfoliation
A gentle, chemical-free in-office treatment that removes biofilm, opens blocked Meibomian Glands, and eliminates Demodex mites — restoring eyelid health and lasting comfort in minutes.
Why Eyelid Hygiene Matters More Than You Think
Your eyelids do far more than open and close. They house the Meibomian Glands — tiny oil-producing glands that are essential to every blink. When these glands become blocked or inflamed, the consequences ripple through your entire visual experience.
Blepharitis
Chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins caused by bacteria, skin conditions, or Demodex mites. Symptoms include red, itchy, flaky eyelids and crusting at the lash base.
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
Blocked oil glands in the eyelids that disrupt the tear film, causing evaporative dry eye — the most common form of dry eye disease.
Demodex Mites
Microscopic parasites that live in eyelash follicles. Overpopulation causes inflammation, itching, and worsens both Blepharitis and dry eye.
Biofilm & Scurf
A sticky bacterial film that accumulates at the eyelid margins, trapping debris and blocking glands. Regular exfoliation is the only effective way to remove it.
What Is NuLids Pro?
Healthy eyelids are the foundation of comfortable, hydrated eyes. NuLids Pro is an FDA-cleared, in-office eyelid exfoliation system designed to exfoliate and stimulate the eyelid margins, ensuring they stay clean and functional. In just a few minutes, this innovative treatment removes biofilm and scurf while opening blocked Meibomian Glands — the glands responsible for producing the oils that keep your eyes moisturized and comfortable.
Neglecting eyelid hygiene allows debris, bacteria, and Demodex mites to accumulate over time. The NuLids Pro system addresses all of these issues simultaneously: it removes scurf and biofilm, helps eliminate Demodex mites, reduces inflammation, and promotes better oil flow. This safe, chemical-free treatment is an essential part of any comprehensive dry eye management plan.
Regular eyelid hygiene isn't just for those with existing eye issues — it's essential for everyone. Contact lens wearers, screen-heavy professionals, and anyone prone to seasonal allergies benefit significantly from routine NuLids Pro treatments.
How NuLids Pro Works
A complete in-office treatment from assessment to aftercare — typically completed in under 15 minutes.
Eyelid Assessment
Dr. Capel or Dr. Park evaluates your eyelid margins, Meibomian Glands, and lash follicles to confirm NuLids Pro is the right treatment for your condition.
Micro-Exfoliation
The NuLids Pro handpiece gently oscillates along the eyelid margin, removing biofilm, scurf, and debris from the lash base and gland openings.
Gland Stimulation
The mechanical action stimulates Meibomian Gland secretion, encouraging the natural flow of oils that protect and lubricate the tear film.
Mite Reduction
The cleansing action disrupts the environment Demodex mites depend on, reducing their population and the inflammation they cause.
Home Maintenance Plan
You leave with a personalized plan — often including the NuLids home device — to maintain results and prevent recurrence between visits.
