Eye bags - Fotona Smootheye
Fotona SMOOTH® Eye is a non-invasive laser treatment mode designed specifically to rejuvenate the periorbital area, which includes the delicate skin around the eyes.
Fotona SMOOTH® Eye mode uses a unique, patented Er:YAG laser pulse technology called SMOOTH® mode. Unlike traditional ablative lasers that remove layers of skin, the SMOOTH® mode delivers controlled laser energy to heat the skin layers gently, stimulating collagen production without damaging the surface.
Here's how it works:
Non-Ablative Fractional Treatment
The SMOOTH® Eye mode uses a non-ablative fractional laser approach, which means it targets the deeper layers of the skin (dermis) while leaving the outer layer (epidermis) intact. This promotes collagen remodeling and tightening from within, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness.
Controlled Heat Delivery
The Er:YAG laser in SMOOTH® mode delivers gentle, controlled pulses of heat to the skin's deeper layers. The energy is delivered in a sequence that prevents overheating, ensuring patient comfort and minimizing the risk of adverse effects. The gentle heating triggers a wound healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, which are critical for skin elasticity and firmness.
Fotona 4D SmoothEye is a cutting-edge, non-invasive laser treatment designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes, including the reduction of eye bags. This treatment works by tightening loose skin, reducing puffiness, and stimulating collagen production, offering a more youthful, refreshed appearance without the need for surgery or downtime. With no downtime and minimal discomfort, SmoothEye is an excellent choice for those seeking a natural, youthful look without undergoing surgery. Through collagen stimulation and fluid reduction, this treatment helps achieve a firmer, brighter, and more rejuvenated eye contour.
Benefits:
Non-Surgical Solution
Fotona 4D SmoothEye offers a non-surgical alternative to invasive treatments like eyelid surgery, making it an excellent option for patients who want to avoid the risks and recovery associated with surgery.
Skin Tightening and Lifting
The laser technology works to tighten and lift the skin around the eyes, reducing sagging and providing a firmer, more youthful look.
Puffiness Reduction
By stimulating lymphatic drainage and improving circulation, Fotona 4D SmoothEye effectively reduces under-eye puffiness, brightening the area and reducing the appearance of bags.
Improved Skin Texture
The treatment helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, improving the overall texture of the skin and giving a more refreshed appearance.
No Downtime
With minimal discomfort and no downtime, Fotona 4D SmoothEye is a convenient treatment option for busy patients looking for effective eye bag reduction without disruption to their daily routine.
How does it work?
How Fotona 4D SmoothEye Treats Eye Bags:
1. Collagen Stimulation and Tightening
The SmoothEye mode of the Fotona 4D laser uses gentle, non-ablative Er:YAG laser energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin around the eyes. By heating the deeper layers of the skin, it triggers the body’s natural collagen-building process, leading to skin tightening and a reduction in the appearance of eye bags over time. This helps to lift sagging skin, firm up the under-eye area, and reduce puffiness.
2. Improved Skin Texture and Elasticity
The treatment also works on improving skin texture by tightening the skin surface and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. The laser’s precise energy delivery helps enhance skin elasticity and tone, giving the under-eye area a smoother, more youthful appearance.
3. Reduces Fluid Retention and Puffiness
Puffiness and eye bags often result from fluid retention in the under-eye area. Fotona 4D SmoothEye stimulates microcirculation and lymphatic drainage, which helps reduce the buildup of excess fluid, alleviating puffiness and making the under-eye area look brighter and less swollen.
4. Non-Invasive and Comfortable
Unlike surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty, Fotona 4D SmoothEye is non-invasive, meaning there are no cuts, stitches, or extended recovery periods. The treatment is quick and comfortable, with most patients experiencing only a mild warming sensation during the procedure. There is no downtime, so patients can return to their normal activities immediately.
5. Improved Circulation and Hydration
The gentle thermal stimulation also promotes better blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the periorbital area, reducing puffiness and dark circles. It helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of crow's feet, and enhance skin hydration, leading to smoother and more supple skin around the eyes.
Fotona 4D SmoothEye is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate eye bags, skin laxity, or fine lines around the eyes who are looking for a non-invasive treatment option. It is suitable for all skin types and tones and is particularly beneficial for those who prefer a non-surgical approach to rejuvenating the eye area.
Duration of Procedure
Each SmoothEye treatment session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, making it a convenient “lunchtime” procedure with no need for recovery time.
Results and Follow-Up
Results develop gradually over time as the body continues to produce collagen. Many patients notice an improvement in skin texture and a reduction in puffiness within a few weeks of the first session.
For best results, a series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended. Results can last up to a year or more, depending on your skin type, age, and lifestyle factors. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 6 to 12 months to maintain the benefits of skin tightening and collagen stimulation.
