EYELID LIFT WITHOUT SCALPEL
SmoothEye®
A fresher and more vital appearance often depends crucially on the eye area. Many would like to see a reversal of the signs of the times in this area but not through traditional surgical procedures. The good news is that technological progress offers a gentler alternative.
Fotona has developed an innovative laser technology that does not require surgical intervention and still delivers comparable results. The patented procedure, known as SmoothEye® or laser lifting, promotes new collagen formation and tightens the skin, especially around the eye area.
This technology works with a precise sequence of sub-ablative micro-pulses and uses the laser’s heat to effectively tighten the skin without damaging the surface. The results can be seen and felt immediately after the treatment: The skin contracts, new collagen is formed, and the aging skin around the eyes becomes noticeably firmer, including a visible tightening of the upper eyelid.
WHAT THE “SMOOTHEYE®” LASER CAN DO
- Treatment of crow’s feet
- Tightening of the upper and lower eyelid with an immediate effect
- Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines
- Improves the elasticity and structure of the skin
- Formation of new collagen
- Harmonization of the complexion
Before the treatment, the skin is prepared with anesthetic cream or cold air. The two-stage treatment first uses Erbium-YAG to heat collagen and connective tissue to 42 to 45 °C, followed by laser peeling with a different wavelength.
