SmoothEye® Laser Eye Rejuvenation

A non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty

SmoothEye Laser Eye Rejuvenation Treatment

If you are considering blepharoplasty, SmoothEye® is an effective alternative, with no surgery, scars, bruises or downtime. SmoothEye® is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to tighten lax and aging skin of the eyelids and periocular area, offering minimal downtime and optimal patient comfort, which contributes to its popularity. This laser treatment enhances skin firmness and elasticity in the eyelid region, reducing wrinkles, eye bags, and dark circles with limited recovery time. The procedure addresses the entire periocular region, including the areas above, below, and lateral to the eye. Patients typically tolerate the treatment well and do not report discomfort.

To determine which type of SmoothEye Treatment is appropriate, compare your eyes to the pictures and descriptions listed below:

SmoothEye 1 – Minimal under eye wrinkles, some upper eyelid laxity, minimal crow’s feet, no eye bags

SmoothEye 2 – Moderate under eye wrinkles, some hooding, moderate crow’s feet, no eye bags, dark circles due to thinning of under eye skin

SmoothEye 3 – Significant under eye wrinkles, hooding, crow’s feet, dark circles and eye bags.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Medical Laser & Aesthetics in Huntington Beach, and I am beyond impressed with the care and expertise I received. Initially, I sought treatment for the bags under my eyes, but after a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Nelhs Betancourt, we developed a treatment plan that addressed my concerns more effectively than I had anticipated.

Dr. Betancourt’s credentials are truly remarkable. He is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine specialist with a Master’s Degree in Preventative Medicine. Additionally, he is a Board-Certified Toxicologist and board eligible in Laser Surgery. His extensive background includes certifications from the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Toxicology, and the American Board of Independent Medical Evaluators, among others.

During my consultation, Dr. Betancourt utilized state-of-the-art 3D imaging and face-scanning technology, which provided an in-depth analysis of my skin’s condition. This advanced approach allowed for a tailored treatment plan that went beyond my initial concerns.

The results have been nothing short of amazing. A discoloration on the side of my face from sun damage has completely disappeared, a benefit I hadn’t expected. Both my wife and I are thrilled with the outcome, and she even suggested I consider additional treatments – a testament to the noticeable improvement.

Throughout the process, Dr. Betancourt and his team were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely.
