Tighter eyelid skin without a scalpel
EyeLase and SmoothEye are Fotona periorbital protocols run on the StarWalker and SP Dynamis platforms. The lift uses the practice’s laser platforms; the under-eye protocol uses a gentle, non-ablative laser mode that warms the deeper layers of skin so collagen contracts and rebuilds without cutting. The result is a firmer eye area for mild to moderate hooding, built gradually over weeks.
What the laser does around the eyes
The periocular concerns these protocols treat
The eye area is not one concern. Dr. Mikki separates laxity from lines and from under-eye bags before treating anything, because the three respond to different parts of the protocol.
Lids and brow
Where the lifting half of the protocol works: the upper lid, the brow above it, and the skin that hoods them.
-
Hooded eyelids
Lid skin that folds over the crease, firmed without surgery.
-
Droopy eyelids
Upper-lid laxity treated by contracting and rebuilding the collagen in the skin.
-
Droopy eyebrow
A subtle brow elevation that comes from tightening, not from an injection.
-
Loose and sagging skin
Periocular laxity generally, treated across multiple layers in one pass.
Lines and the under-eye
Where the smoothing half works: the thinnest skin on the face and the lines that cross it.
-
Crow’s feet
The lines that fan from the outer corner, softened as collagen rebuilds.
-
Bunny lines
The fine creases that form across the bridge of the nose.
-
Under-eye bags
Treated by gently warming the deeper layers so the skin firms and lifts.
-
Under-eye crepiness
The fine, papery texture below the eye, firmed without removing tissue.
The two protocols this page covers
Medrein runs the eye area on the StarWalker and SP Dynamis platforms. Which protocol you get depends on whether the brow or the under-eye is driving how the eye area reads.
Fotona Brow Lift
A non-invasive laser treatment that gently lifts and tightens the brows while rejuvenating the surrounding skin. It stimulates collagen production and skin tightening in multiple layers, which produces a subtle but real brow elevation. It reduces hooded eyelids, smooths fine lines and enhances the natural arch of the brows.
Under-eye bags treatment
This protocol uses a gentle, non-ablative Fotona laser mode that warms the deeper layers of the skin, including the eyelids and the under-eye area, so collagen contracts and rebuilds. A series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is typically recommended.
What a SmoothEye session looks like
Consultation
Dr. Mikki looks at what is actually driving how the eye area reads: lid laxity, a heavy brow, under-eye bags, or fine lines. She then confirms whether a laser is the right answer. You will get a plain answer if surgery is the better one.
Preparation and protection
The area is cleansed and the eyes are shielded before any pass is made. The protocol involves no incision, no injection, and no anesthetic beyond what the skin needs to stay comfortable.
The laser pass
The laser gently warms the deeper layers of the skin, including the eyelids and the under-eye area, so collagen contracts and rebuilds. Nothing is removed from the surface, which is why there is so little downtime.
The course
A course of 3 to 4 treatments, one every four weeks, is what the practice recommends for best results. Changes usually become noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks, with optimal results appearing gradually over 4 to 8 weeks as collagen regenerates.
Safety, downtime and what to expect afterward
Why a non-surgical eye lift is considered safe
- The eye area is treated through the skin, with nothing cut, stitched or removed.
- No injectables in the protocol. The change comes from your own collagen.
- Non-ablative energy, so the outer skin surface is left intact.
- Minimal downtime; most patients resume normal activities immediately.
- Dr. Mikki, a board-certified physician, assesses the eye area and runs the pass herself.
What to expect, honestly
- Mild redness or swelling, usually for a few hours to a day.
- Results are not immediate. Changes become noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks.
- Optimal results appear gradually over 4 to 8 weeks as collagen regenerates.
- A course of 3 to 4 treatments is typically needed.
- The timeline varies with the technology used, your skin type and how closely aftercare is followed.
Who a non-surgical eye lift is for
Dr. Mikki confirms candidacy at consultation, and will tell you when the eye area needs something else: panda-eye treatment when the darkness is pigment, or the wider Fotona platform when the laxity runs past the orbit.
A good fit
- Loose eyelid skin or wrinkles around the eyes.
- A previous surgical blepharoplasty that now needs retouching.
- Already using injectables, but wanting smoother skin around the eyes.
- Wanting the eye area treated without surgery or injectables.
- Willing to run a course of 3 to 4 treatments, one every four weeks.
Not the right treatment
- Advanced excess eyelid skin, where surgical blepharoplasty is the honest answer.
- Wanting a single-visit result, since the change builds over 4 to 8 weeks.
- Under-eye darkness driven by pigment or a hollow.
- An active infection or unsettled skin condition in the eye area.
Before you book, three things worth knowing
This is a course, not a single visit. The practice recommends 3 to 4 treatments, one every four weeks. Results build gradually: noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks, optimal over 4 to 8 weeks, and the timeline varies with your skin type and how closely you follow aftercare. The procedure may cost around $550 per treatment session, so contact Medrein for the cost of your specific course. Individual results vary.
What a laser changes about tightening the lids
A laser firms lid skin by building collagen, where surgery removes tissue and a cream works only at the surface. EyeLase sits among the Fotona Lasers Dr. Mikki uses for the face. When laxity extends past the eyes, she may pair it with the Fotona 4D protocol.
| Feature | EyeLase / SmoothEye (Medrein) | Surgical Blepharoplasty | Eye Creams |
|---|---|---|---|
| No incisions, stitches or removed tissue | Included | Not included | Included |
| Tightens by building collagen in the skin | Included | Varies | Not included |
| Little to no downtime | Included | Not included | Included |
| Suited to advanced excess skin | Not included | Included | Not included |
Before and after
Each pair holds one eye area before treatment beside the same view after a course of Fotona laser sessions. Four cases, with the eye itself masked in every frame, and individual results vary.

Why patients choose EyeLase & SmoothEye
These reflect common patient sentiment rather than verbatim quotes, and individual results vary.
The skin on my upper lids had started to hood, and I wanted to know my options before committing to eyelid surgery. Dr. Mikki explained what the laser could and could not do for my eyes, and was honest that surgery would do more if I ever needed it. Results may vary, but my lids look more awake to me.
No incisions, eye shields the whole time, and she told me straight what a laser could realistically do.
Frequently asked questions
What are EyeLase and SmoothEye?
EyeLase and SmoothEye are Fotona periorbital protocols run on the StarWalker and SP Dynamis platforms. The lift uses the practice’s laser platforms, and the under-eye protocol uses a gentle, non-ablative laser mode that warms the deeper layers so collagen contracts and rebuilds. Dr. Mikki performs the treatment herself.
Is this a non-surgical blepharoplasty?
It is a non-surgical alternative for mild to moderate hooding and crepey lid skin. Laser tightening firms the skin without cutting, while a surgical blepharoplasty removes excess skin and fat for more advanced cases. Dr. Mikki will tell you plainly at consultation when surgery, not a laser, is the honest answer for your eyes.
What does the treatment feel like?
Most patients describe a warm sensation as the laser passes over the skin. Nothing sharp is involved and there is no injection, and protective eye shields are worn from before the first pass until after the last one. The pass over the eye area itself is brief. Tell Dr. Mikki at any point if the warmth is uncomfortable and she adjusts the settings.
What concerns can it treat around the eyes?
The protocols address mild upper-lid hooding, fine lines and crow’s feet, and crepey skin below the eye. Pigment and dark circles are a different concern; Dr. Mikki may recommend a Pico-based approach for those and confirms the right plan at consultation.
How many SmoothEye sessions will I need?
For the best results the practice recommends a course of 3 to 4 treatments, one every four weeks. A single session for the eye area is brief, typically 15 to 30 minutes. Dr. Mikki confirms the count at consultation against your skin and your goals.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results typically start to become noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks, with optimal results appearing gradually over 4 to 8 weeks as collagen continues to regenerate and skin texture improves. The exact timeline varies with the technology used, your skin type and how closely you follow post-treatment care, and Dr. Mikki discusses realistic maintenance for your case at consultation.
Is there any downtime after SmoothEye?
SmoothEye has minimal downtime. Some patients have mild redness or swelling for a few hours to a day, and the treated area can look pink for a short period. Most people resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, and Dr. Mikki reviews your specific recovery before you book. Individual results vary.
How much does a SmoothEye eye lift cost in Texas?
The procedure may cost around $550 per treatment session. Cost depends on the area and the course you need, so contact Medrein for the cost of your specific treatment.
Are your eyes a candidate for laser tightening?
Dr. Mikki reviews your lid skin, explains what a laser can realistically do, and confirms candidacy against surgery before you schedule.
