Fotona Smooth Eye - Is it an effective treatment?

Question

I would like to have some feedback regarding Fotona Smooth Eye & thoughts on this laser for improving under eyes particularly with some wrinkles (when smiling mostly) and skin laxity that is starting to show plus mild crepey/texture skin changes. I have had Fotona 4D treatments with success and improvements over the past few years as well.

Fotona SmoothEye is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve the appearance of the skin around the eyes. It targets wrinkles, skin laxity, and textural changes by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. Given your positive experience with Fotona 4D treatments, it's likely that SmoothEye could also yield beneficial results for your concerns.

This procedure uses the Fotona laser system, which is known for its precision and effectiveness in skin rejuvenation. Patients often notice improvements in skin texture, firmness, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after a series of treatments. It's particularly effective for mild to moderate skin laxity and crepiness around the eyes.

As with any cosmetic procedure, the results can vary depending on individual skin types and conditions. It's always best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or a qualified laser specialist to discuss your specific concerns and determine if Fotona SmoothEye is the most appropriate treatment for you.

Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.
