Fotona Smooth Eye Calgary

Fotona Smooth Eye is a non-ablative laser treatment specifically designed for the delicate skin around the eyes. Using the SP Dynamis platform, the procedure delivers controlled gentle heat to the upper and lower eyelid area, stimulating collagen production and supporting skin tightening to address concerns such as fine lines, loss of firmness, dark circles and mild sagging.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin, concerns and goals are different, Fotona Smooth Eye at our Dermapure Chaparral clinic always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether Fotona Smooth Eye is the most appropriate option for the area around your eyes and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects. A series of sessions is typically recommended, with optimal results developing progressively over the months that follow.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Taking Pictures

Taking a picture of your face prior to the treatment allows you to better visualize your needs, but also to measure the results before and after the treatment.

Step 2

Application of an anaesthetic gel

Desensitizing the skin with lidocaine anesthetic gel will reduce discomfort during treatment as this is a delicate area where the skin is fragile. This product is applied and left on clean skin for about 1 hour before treatment to desensitize - temporarily - the area to be treated.

Step 3

Cleaning and disinfection of the skin

Carefully removing all traces of gel, make-up and lipid film is an essential step before a Fotona laser session. It is important to disinfect the skin with alcohol as well in order to create a suitable and sterile canvas before the procedure begins.

Step 4

Energy delivery

Feeling the laser light on your skin for the first time can be surprising! The eye area is a very sensitive area, so a slight discomfort may be felt.

Step 5

Application of adapted products

It is not always necessary to apply a specific cream immediately after treatment. The post-treatment recommendations will be carefully communicated to you by our medical and technical team and must be strictly respected in order to allow the skin to recover properly and optimize the results of the treatment. After the treatment, people experience a slight "sunburn" effect for 24 to 48 hours. Dryness of the skin and slight peeling are possible for about 3-4 days. Good hydration of the eye contour area is then recommended. It is imperative to avoid the sun, make-up and any perfumed products until the epidermis has completely healed.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

It is recommended to have a series of 3 treatments of Fotona Smooth Eye to obtain results. Optimal results are visible 3 to 4 months post-treatments.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has received Accutane treatment in the past 6 months. Patients who have been exposed to the sun without sun protection in the 4 weeks preceding the treatment cannot receive it.
