Sagging around the eyes is very common, especially in people over 40 years old. This happens because the subcutaneous tissue is supported by the musculature which, with advancing age, loses its tonicity. In addition, with the decrease in collagen production, which begins after the age of 30, the skin also begins to become more sagging, causing the eyelids to droop. This combination of factors translates into a more tired and aged look, but that can be treated with Fotona!
Smooth Eye is a non-invasive laser treatment by Fotona for total rejuvenation of the periocular area. As an alternative to blepharoplasty – eyelid rejuvenation surgery – Smooth Eye manages to reduce periorbital wrinkles, improve skin texture and promote more firmness without anesthesia, cuts or punctures.
Fotona’s SmoothEye treatment combines different laser functions in order to promote truly surprising results.
First, the Er:YAG function is used, which reduces wrinkles around the eyes with a non-invasive approach. This is followed by the application of the non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH laser, which is used to stimulate collagen remodeling and contraction. Thus, we managed to treat the entire periocular region, including the upper and lower eyelids and the sides of the eyes.
The SmoothEye treatment is done in the office and is very well tolerated by patients, without discomfort and without anesthesia. It is performed in about 30 to 45 minutes and causes no downtime or discomfort, allowing the patient to continue with their daily routine as normal.
Although the patient immediately notices an improvement in the quality of the skin, the final results of SmoothEye are only seen after 2 or 3 months, a period in which the body reaches the period of greatest collagen biostimulation.
The ideal is to do more than one session to achieve really surprising results. However, with just one session it is already possible to obtain satisfactory results, mainly in the improvement of skin quality and contour.
