A NONINVASIVE “FACELIFT”

This laser treatment gives skin a lifted appearance without pain or injections. It even targets the inside of your mouth to smooth the smile lines.

You’re too chicken to try llers. Yet, you want something to treat your lines, wrinkles and saggy jowls. In this age of seles, who doesn't want to look photo-ready?

Consider Fotona 4D, a unique, non-invasive laser treatment that targets the epidermis and dermis layers to give you rmer, smoother and more supple skin. It is suitable for people across a range of ages, whether you’re a 20something who wants a bit of a boost to your appearance, or a 30- or 40something looking to lift and tighten loose skin. Taking just 30 minutes, this is pretty much a lunchtime treatment.

The Fotona 4D uses two lasers (Er:Yag and Nd:Yag) and four treatment modes. What’s special: One of the steps even involves a laser used on the inside of your mouth!

STEP 1

This is an intra-oral treatment exclusive to the Fotona laser. A probe, roughly the width of an electric toothbrush handle, is placed inside your mouth. You’ll feel a warm sensation (like drinking warm water). The Er:Yag laser is administered on the inner surfaces of your cheeks and lips to stimulate collagen to contract, which gives skin a plumper, tighter appearance. This helps reduce the look of wrinkles and laugh lines. Think of this as a lift from within.

STEP 2

The Nd:Yag laser in Fotona’s Frac3 mode targets the epidermis, focusing on the cheekbone and jaw areas for improved tone and a more V-shaped jawline.

STEP 3

The same Nd:Yag laser (but in Fotona’s Piano mode) targets the deeper dermis layer for a controlled deep heating of the tissues. The result: plumper, less saggy skin.

STEP 4

Think of this as an extremely controlled light peel. The Er:Yag laser is used to give skin a smooth, pearllike nish. The treatment is said to be painless, and reportedly gives immediate results. There is no downtime, but you may see slight redness for a day. If you have had llers or botox done, wait for about two weeks before going for Fotona 4D.
