Dr. Allen. I have been using the NuLids pro as well. One technique change that I have noticed works well is the push in a little on the superior tarsal plate to partially evert the lid. This allows me to hit all the lash follicles and lid margin more effectively. I am trying to determine frequency and anecdotely I feel it needs repeated every 2-3 weeks dependent on grade for the initial round. (ie grade 1 usually needs only one treatment, 2 needs two treatments etc) Has this been your experience so far? Time will tell how frequently it is needed long term. Thanks!
