Fotona SmoothEye (Eye Rejuvenation)
Fotona SmoothEye is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to tighten and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. Using controlled, gentle heat, it stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, elasticity, and the appearance of fine lines and crepey skin.
Over a series of treatments, the eye area appears firmer, smoother, and more refreshed with minimal downtime.
Proper preparation and aftercare support both the safety of this delicate area and the quality of your results.
Pre-Treatment Care
Skin Preparation
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning leading up to your appointment
- Arrive with clean skin (no eye makeup around the eyes)
- Keep the skin calm and well hydrated
Product Restrictions
- Avoid retinoids, AHA/BHA, and exfoliating products for 5 days prior
- Avoid aggressive treatments (peels, lasers) in the area for at least 2 weeks prior
Treatment-Specific Notes
- Do not wear contact lenses on the day of your treatment
- Inform your provider of any eye sensitivity or recent treatments
Post-Treatment Care
What to Expect
- Mild redness or warmth in the treated area
- Slight swelling or sensitivity, particularly under the eyes
- A feeling of tightness as collagen stimulation begins
Redness typically resolves within 24 hours, with mild swelling possible for a few days.
First 24–48 Hours
- Avoid heat (hot showers, saunas, workouts)
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the eye area
- Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours
- Use only gentle, approved skincare
Ongoing Care (5 Days+)
- Avoid retinoids, acids, and active products around the eyes for at least 5 days
- Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF daily (plus sunglasses when outdoors)
- Do not rub or irritate the treated area
General Care
- Apply cool compresses if needed (avoid direct ice contact)
- Keep the area hydrated and supported with gentle products
- Resume normal skincare gradually once the skin has fully calmed
Supporting Your Results
SmoothEye works by stimulating collagen in one of the most delicate and thin areas of the skin — your results depend on how well your body supports that regeneration.
Hydration + Tissue Support
- Stay well hydrated
- Ensure adequate protein intake to support collagen production
Nutritional Support
Focus on nutrients that support skin structure and repair:
- Vitamin C (essential for collagen synthesis)
- Protein (amino acids for tissue repair)
- Healthy fats (support elasticity and skin barrier)
- Antioxidants (protect against environmental stress)
Reduce Inflammation
For 24–48 hours post-treatment:
- Minimize alcohol and excess sugar
- Avoid unnecessary inflammatory triggers
Lifestyle Considerations
- Prioritize sleep (the eye area shows fatigue quickly – this matters more than most treatments)
- Avoid excessive eye rubbing or strain
- Maintain consistent treatment intervals for cumulative results
Treatment Notes
- Results are gradual and cumulative, not immediate
- A series of 3–4 treatments is typically recommended for optimal outcomes
- This treatment improves skin quality and tightness, not volume (unlike filler)
- The eye area continues to improve over weeks as collagen rebuilds
