LOCKED VS.UNLOCKED C-EYE

New possibilities

We now offer the option to unlock the C-Eye device. What does this mean?

An unlocked C-Eye allows you to use any riboflavin of your choice with the protocols listed below.

  • New users can choose between a locked or unlocked system.
  • Existing users can have their previously purchased C-Eye switched to an unlocked version.

Important: The highly anticipated ELZA epi-on and ELZA-PACE protocols will remain locked.
