How does Fotona 4D work?

Fotona 4D = 4 Dimensions = 4 Steps
Fotona 4D uses 4 dimensions of rejuvenation to tighten and revitalize the skin from the inside out.
It works on deeper, medial and superficial connective structures of the skin, as well as targeting imperfections. This procedure effectively treats deep sagging, improves skin texture and facial contour, and promotes cellular renewal leading to long-term tissue function improvement.
SmoothLiftin™ = Mucosal Tissue Resurfacing
This is a gentle intraoral heating treatment that stimulates collagen contraction, resulting in improved skin firmness. Fotona 4D starts inside the mouth, where laser energy is used to immediately initiate the tension process around the jawline and perioral region. This step also reduces expression lines such as nasolabial folds and wrinkles (smile lines), acting like a natural filler.
FRAC3™ = Pigmented and Vascular Lesion Treatment
Next, to complement the intraoral treatment, deeper imperfections (such as deep wrinkles) and pigments are targeted with precision laser to restore youthful texture and a more uniform complexion.
PIANO™ = Wrinkle Treatment
In step three, a scanning technique is used to safely and quickly apply uniform heating, creating an overall tension effect resulting in firmer skin and a complete face lift.
SupErficial™ = Skin Resurfacing
Finally, a light laser peel is done to improve the appearance of the skin and address surface imperfections. You’ll immediately notice that your skin looks refreshed, firmer, and enjoys a youthful glow!

Questions and Answers about Fotona 4D Treatment
How long will it take to see results?
Results vary from case to case, but most patients see immediate improvements. Over the course of 2 to 3 months, the entire outcome is progressively attained. A 48-hour period of facial redness is possible if you choose a more intensive course of treatment.
How does it feel during the procedure?
Everyone is unique, but in general, there is a slow warming feeling, followed a short while later by brief heat sensations in the treatment area that immediately go away.
Is there any downtime needed for the procedure?
No, the process is conducted in an outpatient clinic without anesthesia, incisions, or injectables. It is non-invasive and non-surgical. Patients can continue with their regular activities while recovering; professional activity is not need to be put on hold.
