Fotona Smooth Eye Edmonton

Fotona Smooth Eye is a non-ablative laser treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton that is specifically designed for the eye area. Using Fotona’s Erbium:YAG laser, the device delivers controlled, gentle heat that reaches the deeper layers of the delicate skin around the eyes, supporting collagen stimulation and a tightening effect on the upper and lower eyelids.

Fotona Smooth Eye can help refine fine lines, support firmness and improve radiance around the eyes, on a sensitive area where many other resurfacing approaches are not suitable. A series of sessions is typically recommended, with results developing gradually over the months following treatment, and the protocol may be received on its own or as part of a personalized plan that pairs it with complementary in-clinic options such as medical-grade skincare protocols.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, Fotona Smooth Eye at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether Fotona Smooth Eye is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What specific concerns does the Smooth Eye treatment address, and how does it enhance the firmness and radiance of the skin around the eyes?

The Fotona Smooth Eye treatment is designed to address various concerns specific to the delicate skin around the eyes. This includes fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, dark circles, and uneven skin tone and texture. To enhance firmness and radiance around the eyes, the treatment employs laser energy to penetrate the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen. Collagen plays a pivotal role in maintaining skin firmness and elasticity, thereby promoting a rejuvenated and revitalized appearance.

How does the SP Dynamis laser stimulate collagen production and provide a tightening effect for the upper and lower eyelids?

The Fotona Smooth Eye treatment utilizes the SP Dynamis laser to stimulate collagen production and achieve a tightening effect through a process known as collagen remodeling. This laser emits precise bursts of energy that are absorbed by the skin tissue surrounding the upper and lower eyelids. By targeting specific wavelengths and depths, the laser reaches deeper layers of the skin while preserving the surface. The generated heat from the laser stimulates fibroblast cells within the skin, which play a crucial role in producing collagen, elastin, and other essential proteins. As these cells become stimulated, they initiate the synthesis of new collagen fibers, resulting in increased collagen production, enhanced firmness, and noticeable tightening of the skin around the eyes.
