SmoothEye and LipLase: two treatments, different goals
Information guide · Approximate reading time: 3 minutes
The eye area and lips have different needs. When exploring Fotona treatments, it helps to distinguish which area each one addresses. SmoothEye and LipLase are among Makai’s options; this guide helps you organize your questions before choosing.
SmoothEye: a focus on the eye area
SmoothEye is a Fotona laser application focused on the appearance of skin around the eyes. Assessment identifies your concerns and whether the proposed technology may help. Lines, bags, pigmentation and excess skin are different concerns; a single option should not be assumed to address them all.
LipLase: a focus on the lips
LipLase uses laser technology to address lip appearance without injecting filler. It is a different alternative to hyaluronic acid procedures. At your consultation, ask about the goal for your case and which changes would be reasonable, without promises of an exact volume.
How to choose between the options
Start with your priority rather than the most popular treatment. You can discuss both areas at the same assessment, but each indication should be reviewed separately. It is also reasonable to begin with one concern and assess later whether another procedure is needed.
What to share at your consultation
Mention previous face or lip treatments, your health history and any reactions you have experienced. Bring a list of products and medications you use. Ask for instructions specific to your case, and do not combine procedures based on a social post or someone else’s recommendation.
Questions to help you compare confidently
Ask about the intended benefit, possible discomfort and risks, proposed follow-up and aftercare. Also ask how costs are organized if both areas are assessed. Having these answers in writing helps you compare proposals that may look similar on social media.
