Fotona 4D Non- Surgical Facelift

Description

This treatment uses the cutting edge, patented advancements of Fotona lasers to give incredible results without downtime. The Fotona 4D™ treatment strengthens collagen and lifts the skin by collagen contraction. New Collagen production is also stimulated, resulting in tightness and increased elasticity of your skin. The synergistic laser treatments treat both the exterior of the face as well as the interior oral cavity to produce results from both inside and out. Treatments have the ability to be tailored to the individual allowing versatility in the procedures and treatments, giving incredible skin tightening results which are natural as it has stimulated your own collagen to tighten and plump the skin. It therefore gives a natural not ‘fake’ look and has no risk of injectables. 

HOW IT WORKS:

The energy from the laser stimulates the production of new collagen in the dermis as well as tightening existing collagen. This treatment uses Fotona’s patented Smoothmode ™ which enables high enough energy to be delivered safely to the skin to give amazing results without down-time.

The Treatment Consists of Four Steps

The number 4 in the name of this treatment refers to the four different steps involved, each of which has a particular benefit. The steps are SmoothLiftIn, Frac3, Piano and Superficial.

Step 1

SmoothLiftin

This first step is a painless rejuvenation treatment that uses the power of laser energy to rejuvenate the tissues inside your mouth. As these tissues strengthen and improve, this actually works from the inside out to plump and tighten the skin around the mouth, diminishing nasolabial folds and the wrinkles and lines around your mouth and chin.

Step 2

Frac3

This second step targets both superficial layers of the skin and deeper layers to remove imperfections and improve skin texture. By heating up these skin layers, Frac3 stimulates neocollagenesis (new collagen formation) and restores youthful texture.

Step 3

Piano

This is the third step, and here our Fotona Laser uses an ND:YAG fractionated laser. This heats up the very deepest layers of your skin, which stimulates a full remodeling of their structure, resulting in more firm and lifted skin.

Step 4

Superficial

This is the final step, and in this part of the process, a resurfacing laser peel brightens your skin and gives you instantly enhanced texture and tone. The other three steps have amazing results, but those results mostly need some time to develop as your skin renews itself.

With this step, you can see the difference very quickly, and particularly if you choose to intensify it with a full laser peel.

Am I a Candidate for Treatment?

Most people who are interested in 4D Fotona treatment make good candidates for it. This is really a kind of middle step for those who are fed up of the empty promises of superficial creams, toners,  and serums but who aren’t interested in something as drastic as a full surgical facelift. It’s also a great choice for those who aren’t eligible for surgery.

Expected Results

Most clients have little to no down-time however some may experience minimal redness or swelling after treatment along with some dryness of the skin. Some clients have a noticeable improvement either immediately or after a week due to the tightening of existing collagen.

The second phase of improvement is between 4-8 weeks as it takes that length of time for your new collagen to be produced, this is the more significant result. Improvements will build with additional treatments and even after the treatment series is completed you will continue to see ongoing improvements for up to 9-10 months due to collagen and elastin regeneration.
