Fotona SmoothEye® in NYC

Fotona SmoothEye® is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to tighten and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. Using Fotona's Er:YAG laser technology, it stimulates collagen remodeling to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, crepey skin, and mild skin laxity—without surgery or injections. How does SmoothEye® work? SmoothEye® delivers controlled laser energy to the eyelid and surrounding skin, gently heating the tissue to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. This natural remodeling process helps firm the skin, improve elasticity, and create a smoother, more youthful appearance. What concerns can SmoothEye® treat? SmoothEye® can improve: Fine lines and crow's feet Crepey eyelid skin Mild upper and lower eyelid laxity Under-eye wrinkles Loss of skin firmness Overall texture and tone around the eyes Does SmoothEye® lift droopy eyelids? SmoothEye® can improve mild skin laxity and create a subtle lifting effect by tightening the skin. However, it is not a replacement for surgical blepharoplasty in patients with significant excess skin. Is SmoothEye® painful? Most patients tolerate the procedure very well. You may feel warmth or a mild tingling sensation during treatment. A topical numbing cream may be applied to maximize comfort. How long does the treatment take? A SmoothEye® session typically takes 30–45 minutes, including preparation time. Is there any downtime? Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, swelling, and a warm sensation are common immediately after treatment and usually resolve within 24–72 hours. Some patients experience slight dryness or flaking for a few days. When will I see results? Many patients notice smoother skin within a few weeks. Because collagen remodeling takes time, improvements continue for 2–3 months after each treatment. How many treatments will I need? Most patients achieve the best results with 3–6 treatments, spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year can help preserve results. How long do the results last? Results vary depending on age, skin condition, and lifestyle. With proper skincare and sun protection, improvements often last up to a few years. Can SmoothEye® reduce crow's feet? Yes. SmoothEye® is highly effective for reducing the appearance of crow's feet by stimulating collagen and smoothing fine wrinkles around the outer corners of the eyes. Can SmoothEye® treat under-eye wrinkles? Yes. SmoothEye® can improve fine lines, crepey skin, and mild skin laxity beneath the eyes, creating a smoother and firmer appearance.. Can SmoothEye® be combined with other treatments? Yes. SmoothEye® is commonly combined with Fotona 4D®, LipLase®, microneedling, PRP, or wrinkle relaxers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation and enhanced results. What should I avoid after SmoothEye®? For the first 24–48 hours, we recommend: Avoiding excessive heat, saunas, and steam rooms Avoiding direct sun exposure Wearing broad-spectrum SPF daily Using gentle skincare products Keeping the skin well moisturized Is SmoothEye® better than surgery? SmoothEye® is an excellent option for patients seeking natural-looking improvement without surgery. While it can tighten mild skin laxity and reduce wrinkles, it cannot remove significant excess eyelid skin like a surgical blepharoplasty.
