Embodiments provide a moldable warming device. The moldable warming device includes a heating disc, a harmonic resonance frequency stimulation vibration generator (RFSVG), a coupling device, a mask, and a sensor array. The mask is configured to hold the heating disc, the RFSVG, and the coupling device for use in parallel utility. The sensor array is configured to determine tuning parameters of a vibration and heating profile of a user's individual eyelid and periorbital three-dimensional anatomy and surface topography. The moldable warming device is configured to provide an entire eyelid surface and periorbital structures with therapeutic warmth and tuned harmonic resonance frequency stimulation vibration to mobilize Meibom lipids and stimulate flow of the mobilized Meibom lipids from the user's Meibomian glands.
