FOTONA LASER SMOOTH EYE®
SmoothEye, or non surgical blepharoplasty, is a highly effective erbium laser treatment.
SmoothEye is an excellent option for individuals not ready for eyelid surgery or for those who are not suitable for a surgical blepharoplasty.
Our eyes are often one of the more prominent areas which can show signs of ageing. It can also be one of the more difficult areas to treat. Surgery can involve a long recovery period, while other non-surgical procedures may not deliver the desired results. The solution is SmoothEye. SmoothEye treatment using the amazing Fotona SP Dynamis is a powerful laser eyelid tightening technique that addresses skin laxity of the periocular region.
Immediate freshness and tightness of the periocular area
Stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis
Little-to-no downtime
Gentle, fast and non-invasive
Safe and precisely controlled
TIGHTENING
Fotona SMOOTH® modality Er:YAG reduces wrinkles around the eyes in a non-invasive approach. The non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH® mode is applied to stimulate collagen remodeling and contraction. The entire periocular region is covered, including regions above, below and lateral to the eye. The therapy is very well tolerated by patients, with no discomfort described.
What is SmoothEye®?
SmoothEye® is a new and exciting non-ablative Fotona SMOOTH®mode treatment for tightening of the periocular region and reducing the appearance of periorbital wrinkles. SmoothEye® significantly tightens loose and aging skin of the eyelids and periocular region with little-to-no downtime and maximum patient comfort, making this a very sought after non-invasive cosmetic procedure.
After a few treatment sessions, the result is improved skin elasticity, overall structure, and volume with significant wrinkle reduction.
Advantages of Fotona SMOOTH® Mode
Fotona’s revolutionary non-ablative Fotona SMOOTH® mode treats the skin in a smooth, almost “feather-like” non-ablative manner, without bleeding and with precisely controlled temperature deposition. The optical energy is delivered in a unique, sub-second long pulse sequence which prevents temperature build-up at the surface and achieves homogeneous heating within several hundred micrometers of the tissue.
Fotona SMOOTH® mode is ideal for skin tightening. The intense, controlled surface tissue heating stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis. The result is an overall improvement of wrinkles, laxity and elasticity in the treatment areas around the eyes.
SmoothEye Laser Eyelid Tightening
As we naturally age, the production of collagen reduces and the signs of ageing increases. SmoothEye works to stimulate the production of collagen around the eyes. This can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and increase skin laxity, leaving you with a more rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. Using laser ensures the results will continue to improve over time as the collagen production continues. Both upper and lower eyelids can be treated in the same sitting.
Advantages of SmoothEye laser eyelid tightening:
The Erbium YAG SMOOTH mode technique allows the use of much larger spotsizes (up to 14mm) leading to much faster treatment. PLEXR takes much longer to perform due its very small spot sizes of 2-3mm.
There is more controlled delivery of energy with Erbium YAG laser handpieces with generation of higher peak powers compared to the relatively under powered PLEXR device (PLEXR is portable in nature).
Suitable Candidates.
You will be a suitable candidate if you are showing signs of ageing around the eyes and are wishing to improve your aesthetic appearance.
You will need to have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
Before undergoing SmoothEye you will need to have a consultation and we will be able to assess whether or not you are considered a suitable candidate for this procedure or whether there are alternative options which are better suited for you.
SmoothEye is performed as a day procedure. You will be able to return back to your usual daily routine straight after the procedure.
The laser is used to heat the deeper layers of the skin, which increases the production of collagen. Over time, this reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
Prior to undergoing laser treatment, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to reduce any discomfort.
You may wish to combine this treatment with other non-surgical procedures to achieve the best results.
Smootheye Recovery
This is a non-invasive procedure, so there is minimal downtime. You will be able to resume your usual activities straight away.
You may experience some tightening and redness of the skin after the procedure, which will settle after the first few days.
It may take a few weeks to start seeing results as the collagen is stimulated. Results will continue to improve over time.
You may wish to avoid excess sun and heat exposure for seven to 10 days to ensure you can achieve the best results.
What is SmoothEye?
SmoothEye is a non-invasive procedure which aims to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes.
We use Fotona’s SmoothEye laser therapy. This stimulates collagen production, which tightens and smooths the skin, making you appear more youthful.
What is the benefit to laser treatments?
Laser treatments are often sought after by people who do not wish to undergo a surgical procedure and do not wish to use injectables.
Laser treatments involve no injections or incisions and involve little to no downtime. You will be able to resume your usual daily routine straight away without having to worry about any bruising or stitches.
Can I have SmoothEye treatment?
SmoothEye is suitable for those who show signs of ageing around the eyes but do not wish to resort to surgical treatments.
Will I need repeat treatments?
You will need at least three treatments to achieve the best results. This may vary from person to person and your practitioner will be able to advise you on the best treatment plan.
Will laser hurt?
You will have a topical anaesthetic cream applied to the skin prior to treatment to help minimise any discomfort. You may be able to feel some heat during treatment, however this will not be unbearable.
What will the recovery be like?
There is minimal recovery period associated with SmoothEye.
You may notice redness and tightness on the skin which is temporary in nature.
When will I notice results?
Unlike other treatments, SmoothEye will take time to exert its effects. The collagen and elastin wil undergo remodelling over a period of 3-6 months. It may be a few weeks before you can start to see noticeable changes, which will continue to improve over time.
