Fotona 4D® is a non-surgical laser facelift protocol that combines a set of synergistic, non-invasive treatments targeting both the internal and external facial structures. This technique acts on the outer skin surface as well as in deeper and intraoral layers, allowing for complete collagen contraction throughout the full skin thickness — resulting in greater firmness, volume, and long-lasting rejuvenation without injectables.
Fotona 4D® is a non-invasive laser procedure lasting approximately 30–45 minutes, with minimal discomfort or downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily routine immediately.
An immediate sensation of skin tightening and freshness can be noticed right after treatment, while the full effect develops gradually over 2–3 months.
Fotona 4D® = 4 Dimensions = 4 Steps
Using two laser wavelengths — Er:YAG and Nd:YAG — and four treatment modes (SMOOTH®, FRAC3®, PIANO®, and SupErficial™), this comprehensive anti-ageing protocol targets the skin’s deep, middle, and superficial structures while addressing surface imperfections.
The Fotona 4D® protocol applies these four sequential dimensions to tighten, rejuvenate, and enhance skin tone and texture from the inside out:
A non-ablative intraoral Er:YAG laser treatment that produces gentle, controlled heating to stimulate collagen contraction. This provides both an immediate tightening effect and the initiation of new collagen formation. The result is improved tissue elasticity and volume, particularly in the nasolabial fold area, giving a subtle plumping and lifting effect.
This step uses Nd:YAG FRAC3® mode, which delivers fractional, self-induced microthermal zones to target deeper imperfections. It complements the intraoral step by restoring youthful texture, evening out skin tone, and enhancing the overall firmness and vitality of the skin.
A high-speed scanning technique applies deep, uniform heating throughout the skin layers, tightening connective tissues and inducing a full-face lifting effect. The result is visibly firmer, more toned skin with improved facial contour definition.
The final step involves a light Er:YAG laser peel to refine the surface, smooth texture, and enhance radiance. Immediately after treatment, the skin appears fresher, firmer, and more luminous, with a youthful glow and improved tone.
