The SmoothEye Laser treatment utilises Erbium (Er:YAG) technology to tighten loose skin and wrinkles around the eye. This eyelid tightening laser treatment is unique as the inner mucosal layer of the lower eyelid is also treated directly, thereby tightening the ligaments of the lower eyelid. This results in improvement of the appearance of eye bags under the eyes, as well as reducing wrinkles and loose skin around the eyes.
A non-ablative eyelid laser mode is used to deliver controlled warmth to the skin around the eyes. This helps stimulate collagen activity without affecting the skin surface.
Gentle laser energy is delivered to the lower eyelid’s inner mucosal surface, reaching deeper connective tissues and supporting tightening around the eye area.
The laser’s SMOOTH® mode stimulates collagen remodelling and contraction over time. The formation of new collagen and elastin gradually enhances the skin’s elasticity, structure, and firmness.
SmoothEye Laser treatment is an alternative option for individuals who are hesitant about undergoing surgical procedures or injectable treatments. This treatment is ideal for those showing early signs of ageing, including:
Noticeable folds forming on the eyelids due to skin laxity.
The gradual sagging of eyelids, which can affect overall facial aesthetics.
The emergence of subtle lines and creases around the eyes.
Puffiness and discolouration that can create a tired appearance.
Your eyelid laser treatment begins with a consultation, where the doctor evaluates your eye area, skin condition, and suitability for this non-surgical eye rejuvenation approach.
Topical anaesthetic eye drops and eye lubricant are applied to the eyes before treatment. Ocular eyeshields, which are opaque shields worn like contact lenses, are then placed over the eyes to protect them. These allow the doctor to safely treat the inner mucosal surface of the lower eyelid.
The doctor will first treat the inner lower eyelid with the laser to target and tighten the supporting ligaments. After that, the skin around the eyes is treated externally.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a light snapping or tapping, with warmth building gradually.
Mild swelling or puffiness may occur and typically settles within one to two days. If a stronger setting is used, mild scabbing may appear on the eyelid but usually resolves quickly.
Applying sunscreen daily is important after eyelid tightening laser treatments, especially around the delicate eye area. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply as needed throughout the day.
Use gentle moisturisers to keep the skin hydrated. This helps support the skin barrier as it recovers from treatment.
For the first three to four days, avoid skincare products that may irritate the skin, such as acids, exfoliants, or retinoids. This helps prevent unnecessary redness or discomfort while the area settles.
Light activities can usually be resumed immediately. Makeup may be applied once the skin feels comfortable, usually within the same day or the next. You may resume exercising on the following day, depending on your comfort level.
This serum helps soothe and hydrate the treated area. It contains ingredients that support the skin’s recovery and comfort after your eyelid laser treatment.
Formulated with vitamin K and arnica extract, this cream supports the skin’s natural recovery process and helps maintain comfort in the days following treatment.
Most people describe the sensation as mild. During eyelid tightening laser treatment, you may feel warmth and a light snapping sensation on the skin. Anaesthetic eye drops and eye lubricant are applied beforehand to improve comfort, especially for the inner lower eyelid.
