What is Fotona 4D®?
Fotona 4D is a safe, non-surgical, and non-invasive facelift treatment that delivers natural-looking results. Using a combination of 2 complementary laser wavelengths — Nd:YAG and Er:YAG, it treats 4 distinct dimensions of the skin to rejuvenate and tighten from the inside out.
As an alternative to injectables and surgery, this laser facelift treats both the outside of your skin and the inside (oral cavity) to lift your inner middle face. It stimulates collagen remodelling so that new and healthy-looking skin can be formed in place, resulting in immediate rejuvenation, tightening and glow.

What to Expect
Step 1: SmoothLiftin™
To stimulate collagen production, we begin within the oral cavity where it provides a gentle heating sensation. This helps improve nasolabial folds, perioral wrinkles and sagging jowels while delivering rejuvenating facial tightening from the inside-out.
Step 2: FRAC3 Mode™
High-intensity fractional energy produces a 3-dimensional fractional pattern in the epidermis and dermis layer to promote collagen remodelling for treatment of deeper, age-related skin imperfections, like lines and wrinkles. Overall skin texture and tone is restored.
Step 3: PIANO Mode™
A brushing technique is used to safely, and rapidly apply bulk-heating to create a tightening effect, resulting in firmer, lifted skin. This procedure is safe and controlled by our aesthetic doctor, hence it spares the skin from unnecessary thermal damage.
Step 4: SupErficial™
The final step is a gentle, laser peel that gently exfoliates for a pearly smooth finish. This mode also improves the appearance of the skin, reduces superficial imperfections, and restores a youthful texture.

Fotona 4D® Frequently Asked Questions
Who is suitable for Fotona 4D®?
Fotona 4D® is suitable for most individuals. However, it brings about the best results for patients who are prone to:
Sagging skin, loss of firm skin and skin laxity
Experiencing fine lines, wrinkles, loss of volume
Hyperpigmentation, or obvious sun spots
Nasolabial folds
Uneven skin tone and texture
How long will it take to see results?
While results may vary within each individual, most notice some results immediately such as tighter skin, increased pumping, and elasticity — with the full effect taking place gradually over a period of 12 weeks.
For best results, treatments should be performed every four to six weeks. Once a series of treatments is completed, the results can last for up to one to two years.
What does the procedure feel like? Is it painful?
Numbing cream is not typically required, though it can be applied for 15 to 30 minutes if it is desired by the patient to improve overall comfort. There would be a gradual warming sensation, and after a few minutes you may experience some very brief hot sensations in the treatment area from the laser energy, which will dissipate quickly.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
You may experience slight redness that should subside in a few hours. Fotona 4D® is non-surgical and non-invasive, hence there is zero downtime required. Patients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Is there any aftercare required?
Like other laser procedures, the aftercare for this procedure is minimal and straightforward:
Keep your skin clean and hydrated
Always protect your skin with sunscreen
We also recommend that you take extra caution with the sun for a few days after the treatment.
