What Is VectorLift?
Fotona VectorLift® and SmoothEye® are non-invasive laser treatments designed to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eye and upper-face area.
VectorLift® is designed to provide non-surgical eyebrow lifting and upper-eyelid rejuvenation. It uses Fotona’s non-ablative SMOOTH® mode to create controlled heating that stimulates collagen remodeling and tissue tightening.
SmoothEye® is designed specifically for tightening and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. It uses non-ablative laser energy to gently heat the eye tissue and stimulate collagen remodeling
These treatments may be performed individually or incorporated into a broader facial rejuvenation plan.
Who Is a Candidate?
These treatments may be appropriate for anyone concerned with:
- Fine lines around the eyes
- Mild to moderate skin laxity around the eyes
- Upper-eyelid laxity
- A tired-looking eye area
- Mild brow descent
- Loss of firmness around the upper face
- Patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures
A consultation is essential to determine whether laser treatment is appropriate for your eye area.

How Long Does It Take?
A VectorLift treatment takes approximately 25 minutes. A typical course may involve 3–6 sessions, depending on the patient’s needs
SmoothEye treatment time varies according to the treatment plan and whether it is performed alone or combined with other facial treatments.
What to Expect After Treatment
The treated area may feel warm and may appear mildly pink or swollen immediately afterward. Some patients may experience temporary tightness or sensitivity.
Because collagen remodeling takes place gradually, results may continue to develop following a series of treatments.
Recovery Time
VectorLift is designed to be a comfortable, non-aggressive treatment with patients able to return to normal routines immediately. SmoothEye is also a non-ablative treatment and is generally associated with minimal downtime.
Risks and Benefits
Benefits: Non-surgical rejuvenation, collagen stimulation, improved skin firmness and a refreshed appearance around the eyes.
Possible risks: Temporary redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness or sensitivity may occur. Laser treatment around the eyes requires specialized technique and appropriate eye protection. Your provider will assess your suitability before treatment.
