EyeLase Smoothing

• Utilizes a non-ablative Er:YAG laser mode called Smooth mode to gently heat the skin around the eyes. The Er:YAG laser delivers controlled surface tissue heating and temperature deposition to the periocular region, including the upper and lower eyelids, ensuring safety and comfort.
• The energy precisely heats the dermis to stimulate collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis, while preventing temperature build up and avoiding surface damage, making the treatment more comfortable with little downtime.
• What is EyeLase Smoothing? EyeLase Smoothing is a non-invasive laser treatment for the eye area, including the eyelids, that uses advanced technology to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. Related treatments include Fotona EyeLase and SmoothEye, which also target wrinkles and skin laxity around the eyes.
• Treatment areas include the skin around the eyes and eyelids.

Introduction to EyeLase

EyeLase, also known as Smooth Eye Laser, is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment specifically designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. Utilizing an advanced Er:YAG laser mode, this treatment targets the periocular region to address fine lines and wrinkles with precision and safety. The procedure is safe and precisely controlled, ensuring maximum patient comfort and little to no downtime. By stimulating collagen remodeling and initiating neocollagenesis, EyeLase helps restore skin elasticity and delivers a refreshed, youthful appearance. This innovative laser technology offers an effective solution for those seeking to improve the look of the skin around the eyes without surgery or extended recovery time.

How EyeLase Works

The EyeLase treatment employs a specialized pulse sequence to gently heat the skin around the eyes, ensuring even temperature distribution and preventing excessive heat build-up. This gentle, fast, and non-invasive approach is designed to stimulate collagen remodeling and contraction within the periocular region, leading to noticeable skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. The Fotona Smooth mode is particularly effective for targeting collagen in the eye area, making it an ideal treatment for concerns such as eye bags, fine lines, and skin laxity. By focusing energy precisely where it is needed, EyeLase delivers consistent results in improving the firmness and smoothness of the skin around the eyes.

Interval: 4 weeks

Number of sessions: 3–4 sessions recommended for optimal results

Results: The result of the treatment is enhanced skin elasticity and wrinkle reduction, as improvement on periorbital fine lines and skin laxity can be observed in 2–4 weeks after the treatment. These measurable improvements are due to the remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis process stimulated by the procedure, with further improvement observed after a series of treatments.

Maintenance: 2–3×/year

Downtime: mild erythema and dry skin for 2–3 days

Complications:

1. Burns with scarring (rare)
2. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

Pre-procedure:

1. Photo documentation
2. Obtain written consent
3. Apply numbing cream: 30 mins

Post-procedure:

1. Photo documentation
2. Post-procedure cooling for 5 mins
3. Apply topical betametasone cream
4. Apply moisturizer and sunscreen
5. Post-procedure advice:
   • Apply SPF50 broad spectrum sunscreen at least twice a day
   • DO NOT touch, scratch, or rub the treated area till the skin is completely healed to prevent irritation or infection

   • Avoid facial procedures and energy-based aesthetic treatments such as laser, radio frequency, HIFU, BBL, IPL for 2 weeks

After the Treatment

Following an EyeLase session, patients often notice an immediate sense of freshness and tightness in the periocular region.
