INTRODUCTION
As we become older our skin becomes thinner and dryer as the result of loss of collagen and elastin fibres - and the hyaluronic acid which is responsible for our skins firmness and hydration. This and loss of fat from the face and bone result in the appearance of wrinkles, deepening of nasolabial folds, sagging and crepey, tired looking skin. This advanced Fotona laser treatment lifts, rejuvenates and tightens the skin and is a popular option for those wanting to achieve results similar to a facelift without having invasive surgery.
HOW IT WORKS
The patented FOTONA 4D LASER FACELIFT® consists of four different laser modes at each treatment session to tighten, brighten and lift the skin in four steps.

STEP 1: Intra-oral SMOOTH® mode. The erbium laser “SMOOTH® mode” produces non-ablative, gentle, controlled heating of the tissue inside the mouth. The Fotona erbium 4D, SMOOTH® mode has been used in dentistry for many years to treat gum disease. It results in firming and tightening of the lower face by shrinking existing collagen fibres and stimulation of new collagen production in the treated tissue. This gives a visible lifting effect and the removal of fine lines around the lips and along with a plumping effect.
STEP 2: Pre-heating of the skin using Nd:YAG FRAC3®. This patented non-ablative laser mode gently but rapidly heats up the skin in a fractionated pattern to gently tighten up the skin and remove skin imperfections like fine lines, pigmentation and open pores from under the skin. It improves skin texture, closes open pores, reduces oiliness, irons out fine lines, reduces pigmentation and gives an instant mild tightening effect.
STEP 3: Bulk heating with Nd:YAG PIANO® mode. The PIANO mode delivers heat slowly to the deeper layers of the skin resulting in a tightening effect and the stimulation of new collagen production in the skin giving a firmer and more lifted complexion. This improves with the number of treatments over time and continues after the course of treatment is finished.
STEP 4: Erbium SupErficial® mode is a gentle superficial laser peel to remove surface imperfections like uneven skin tone and texture. Small, benign skin blemishes can be removed at the same time. The strength of the peel can be chosen according to the client’s desires for an improvement and downtime and may range between ultra-superficial, superficial, medium to deep, full spot, fractional, hot or cold.
THE PROCEDURE
The skin is cleansed with a suitable antiseptic and moisturized prior to the procedure. You will be wearing specialist goggles to protect your eyes. Laser beam will be passed over the treated area several times to reach adequate temperature in the treated tissue. Your skins temperature will be monitored regularly. The sensation you will experience resembles the warmth you experience during sunbathing.
RESULTS
As a result of the collagen and elastin stimulation, clients will notice the skin feeling immediately plumped and rejuvenated, the full results will be achieved for most clients at 14 - 21 days after treatment with radiant looking skin with an improved texture and a noticeably firmer, lifted and more youthful appearance.
