The signs of aging are often first seen in the delicate skin around our eyes. If you’re concerned about the way your eyes look and would like a non-invasive, simple treatment that aims to reverse the signs of aging, SmoothEye™ is the solution.
About This Procedure
Fotona SmoothEye™ uses laser light to gently ablate the skin around the eyes. No incisions are needed, and it works to soften wrinkles, lift drooping contours, and tighten skin. Laser energy, properly harnessed and professionally applied, does no damage to the outer layers of the skin or to the eye itself. The laser is tuned to just the right energy frequency to move into the second layer of the skin, the dermis, and cause minor disruption in this layer that signals the body’s own natural cellular rejuvenation process to begin.
Fibroblasts, which are the cells that build the structural framework of our tissue, go to work right away. They signal to proteins like collagen to rebuild the area with fresh, healthy skin cells. As this regeneration process takes place, the tired and weakened outer layer of skin is replaced by smoother and stronger skin with a healthy appearance.
The Benefits of SmoothEye™
No Surgery or Injections – While you can combine this treatment with injectables if you wish, there are none involved in this treatment for smoother, healthier skin. Your eyes should look more awake and refreshed without downtime, cutting, or stitching.
Safe, Natural Treatment – There are no drugs, chemicals, or unnatural substances involved in this effective treatment. Instead, it simply stimulates your body to do what it was designed to do anyway: repair and refresh skin cells.
Effective, Noticeable Results – Results vary from patient to patient. However, generally speaking, the results of this treatment take time to show. During this time, your body’s proteins are remodeling the skin from the inside out. While you do have to wait a little while to see your full results, the best part about it is that these results should continue to improve over time. That being said, more than one treatment may be required for optimal results.
What To Expect
Here is a quick guide for what to expect before, during, and after your treatment. Please keep in mind that results may vary.
During Treatment
During the treatment, you are kept comfortable with the aid of a cool compressor blowing cold air on the area.
You may feel some slight heat and/or prickly sensation, though most patients find the treatment very tolerable.
Topical anaesthetic can be applied if requested.
After Treatment
After the treatment, the area may appear red for 24-48 hours (like a mild sunburn)
On a rare occasion, some may experience mild swelling.
Around day 3 the area can feel somewhat dry and you may experience some mild flaking which can last for up to 1 week after the treatment.
We recommend avoiding any heat exposure for at least 48 hours after the treatment and wear sun protection at all times.
Results
This quick, no-downtime treatment is perfect for busy patients who don’t have time for bruising or swelling. Many see instant improvement from the initial collagen contraction, with the best results visible 3-4 months later. We recommend a course of 4 treatments, 1 every 4 weeks. The laser is stimulating your natural collagen production, so maintenance from time to time is highly encouraged for longer-lasting results.
Fotona SmoothEye™ is a stand-alone treatment, but can be combined with other non-surgical aesthetic treatments (such as Fotona4D facelift) to give the most outstanding natural results.
