Why Do Your Symptoms Keep Coming Back? The Hidden Cause

You clean your eyelids religiously, but the itching, redness, and morning scabs persist.

‍

The reason is that home hygiene cannot eliminate the Biofilm — a sticky and resistant layer of bacteria (such as dental plaque) — nor eradicate microscopic mites called Demodex that live at the base of your lashes.

‍

ZEST is a professional deep cleaning. Think of it like scaling at the dentist: essential despite daily brushing. ZEST mechanically exfoliates and removes what you cannot reach on your own.

FAQS

Will I see a difference after just one session?

Yes. The majority of patients experience relief and a feeling of cleanliness immediately after the session.

What is the difference between ZEST and Blephex?

Blephex uses a fast rotating brush. ZEST uses a gentle manual approach with the patented Okra solution, often preferred for its targeted effectiveness against Demodex and its superior comfort.

Is the ZEST treatment painful?

No Most patients find the treatment comfortable, describing it as a deep massage or a slight tickle.

What is the difference between ZEST and the cleaning wipes I use at home?

It's the difference between brushing your teeth and getting dental tartar removed. The wipes clean the surface. ZEST offers mechanical exfoliation and deep chemical dissolution of biofilm that wipes cannot reach.
