Fotona SmoothEye Non-Surgical Laser Eye Lift: An Overview

Fotona’s SmoothEye uses advanced laser technology and targets the periocular region, i.e., the area around the eyes. This treatment is designed to tighten loose skin with the help of elastin production and collagen remodelling.

It has a skin-tightening effect that gives a lifted look. It gently tackles laxity issues in the areas above, under, and lateral to the eyes.

Thus, Fotona SmootheEye reduces the appearance of wrinkles. It’s also a great solution for problems like droopy upper eyelids, puffiness, etc.

This treatment is a gentle way of enhancing the skin structure and volume for a youthful appearance. Due to the use of controlled surface tissue heating, this cosmetic procedure is practically pain-free.

As a non-invasive aesthetic treatment, SmoothEye needs little-to-no downtime. Without interrupting your daily activities or affecting your precious eyes, it offers quick and long-lasting results.

How Does Fotona SmoothEye Work?

The SmoothEye laser eye lift procedure uses a revolutionary handpiece by Fotona to deliver laser pulses to the target area. The process is precise, controlled, and safe, thanks to the SMOOTH ® mode.

It uses a unique, sub-second long pulse sequence of Er:YAG laser. This is instrumental in maintaining homogeneous heating without temperature build-up.

This controlled temperature deposition within several hundreds of micrometres to maintain a temperature of 42C-45C. It boosts new elastin and collagen production and also tightens existing collagen fibres.

The process activates your body’s natural healing process to rebuild tissues in the periocular region. The treatment improves skin elasticity, volume, and tightness.

Thus, it addresses skin concerns that appear due to age, physical and mental conditions, and environmental stress. After each treatment session, you’ll see noticeable improvements as your skin gets smoother, tighter, and brighter.

Another advantage of SmoothEye is that it’s engineered specifically for the delicate skin in the periocular area. So it minimizes discomfort to the eye area and prevents harm to the eyes.

It is a gentle skin resurfacing process that’s non-ablative, i.e., it doesn’t remove the top skin layer. These factors together make SmoothEye a non-surgical procedure that doesn’t cause pain or harm.

What to Expect During SmoothEye Laser Eye Lift Procedure

Before undergoing SmoothEye, consult an expert to get your skin assessed and get a tailored treatment plan. You may need to follow a few pre-treatment precautions like stopping certain topical cosmetic or medical products.

The procedure begins by applying a numbing cream to the area around the eyes. To protect your eyes from laser beams, you’ll also be given to wear a pair of protective corneal shields.

Using the Fotona handheld device, your laser technician will apply direct laser pulses to the target area. As the skin temperature rises, the heat level is maintained for a short time.

As a result, you will feel only mild heating sensations like sunburn. It activates collagen contraction and fibroblast simulation within a few minutes to initiate the skin tightening process.

The entire laser eye lift process will take about 20-30 minutes. After that, you can return to your regular activities within 24 hours.

What to Expect After SmoothEye Laser Eye Lift Procedure

SmoothEye is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to minimize discomfort or post-procedure recovery time. So, you can expect minimal downtime.

You may, however, experience so mild and temporary side effects due to the application of intense heat. Redness and swelling are common, but they subside in a few hours.

Other side effects that may last up to a week include skin dryness, tightness, and flaking. So, follow the skin care recommendations given by your dermatologist, which will be required for 2-3 days.

You’ll likely be asked to minimize exposure to heat and sunlight for 48 hours. Apply moisturizers or other topical products to the treated area as recommended.

You can expect to see changes almost immediately after the first session. However, for some people, it takes about a week for results to appear.

After all, SmoothEye stimulates your body’s natural healing process. So the time needed to see changes may vary, depending on how your body responds to the treatment.

Dramatic improvements start to appear in about 4-8 weeks, and you’ll see optimal results in 3-4 months. But you can expect to see improvements for 9-10 months due to continuous collagen and elastic regeneration.

Most patients need a treatment series of 3-4 sessions at intervals of 2-4 weeks. After that, you should also opt for a maintenance session every 12-18 months.
