Fotona 4D Facelift: How It Works, Duration, Aftercare Dos and Don’ts

If you are someone who thinks that non-surgical facelifts are only for celebrities, you are wrong. The statistics from the past years might shock you. In 2020, it was recorded that over 13 million minimally invasive cosmetic procedures were performed in the USA. Non-surgical facelifts were at the top of this long list of cosmetic procedures. Although there are numerous non-surgical facelift procedures, today, we will focus on Fotona 4D Facelift.

Before we jump on to our main topic, let’s briefly discuss what a non-surgical facelift is. A non-surgical facelift allows you to achieve that younger and plump skin without cutting your skin. A non-surgical facelift can help fight skin issues like fine lines, wrinkles, sunken eyes, sagging skin and much more. 

There are many procedures for non-surgical facelifts, like Botox, chemical peels, fillers and much more. Today, we will only focus on a laser face lift treatment, the Fotona 4D Facelift.

The Fotona 4D Facelift procedure 

As we age, signs of aging appear on the face, which is a natural process. Wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and sunken cheeks are all signs of aging and are unavoidable after a certain age. But that doesn’t mean you will have to live with it. You can get your youthful look back with the help of Fotona 4D Facelift. 

Fotona 4D Facelift is one of the most popular non-invasive facelift procedures. It’s an innovative laser treatment that uses a combination of 2 special laser wavelengths. These wavelengths treat 4 different skin dimensions, giving you that new tight look. Fotona 4D Facelift is known for its natural-looking, long-lasting results. 

Here are some of the best features of Fotona 4D Facelift that make it so popular – 

• 🔔 You will experience a full facelift treatment that works from the inside to make you look refreshed and rejuvenated. 
• 🔔 Your skin will become tighter, lighter, and rejuvenated right after the treatment, giving you that natural glow.
• 🔔 You will achieve a better skin tone and texture. Your complexion will even out.
• 🔔 Do not worry about taking a break from your daily routine. There will be minimal to no downtime after the procedure, and you will be able to return back to your daily activities immediately.
• 🔔 There will be no surgery needle or anesthesia involved. This laser procedure is a non-invasive way to enhance your beauty. 

How does Fotona 4D Facelift work?

There are 4 steps to this, which are the 4 lasers required to reach the final results of beautiful skin. The 4 steps , rather than the 4 lasers, are – SmoothLiftin, FRAC3, PIANO, and SupErficial. Here is a more detailed explanation of each of the lasers/steps.

1D Step 1: SmoothLiftin – Start Inside the Mouth

The first step of the whole Fotona 4D Facelift procedure is the SmoothLiftin laser. The Er: YAG laser energy works inside your mouth, targeting the inside of the mouth and the jawline. This procedure kickstarts an instant tightening around the mouth. This laser helps reduce lines like nasolabial folds and wrinkles, taking the role of a natural filler. 

2D Step 2: FRAC3 – Targeting Deeper Imperfections

The second step is FRAC3, a non-ablative technique using the Nd: YAG laser. This step further intensifies the intraoral treatment by targeting more imperfections like deep lines and pigmentation on the skin. This gives your skin a more youthful texture and an even complexion without damaging the outer skin surface. 

3D Step 3: PIANO – Brushing Technique for Overall Tightening

The PIANO technique uses the Nd: YAG pulse mode. This method involves gentle brushing to apply heat/energy on the skin that penetrates deep into the skin. This, in turn, stimulates collagen production, leading to the tightening of the skin, resulting in firm and lifted skin texture. 

4D Step 4: SupErficial

This is the final step of the Fotona 4D Facelift, which focuses on the overall appearance of the skin. The SupErficial focuses on gently removing the skin’s outer layer with the Er: YAG laser. This step focuses on the surface-level imperfections, leaving a pearl-like glow. 

The combination of these four significant steps in the whole procedure leaves you with a younger-looking skin. This procedure is done without any surgery or anesthesia. You will see a huge difference when you compare the 4d Facelift before and after.  

Who is perfect for the Fotona 4D Facelift?

The 4D Facelift is the right choice for people looking to remove wrinkles and fine lines without much hassle and in a short time. This laser treatment takes about 30 -45 mins without causing any irritation and without any downtown. You will notice an immediate freshness on your face, but to notice the full effect of the treatment, you will have to wait for a period of 2-3 months. 

We would recommend this treatment for individuals in their mid-30s. Besides, it is also perfect for people who are starting to notice wrinkles and sagging on their skin. If you want a more defined jawline, fuller cheeks and smoother skin texture, you can also try the Fotona Facelift.

Although this is a very popular and affordable treatment, only some are qualified to handle these procedures. You must reach out to a qualified cosmetic practitioner to avoid ending up with burnt skin, scars, blisters, and different skin textures, which can often cause irreversible damage to the skin. 

How long does the Fotona 4D Facelift last?

This is one of the most common questions people ask when looking for nonsurgical facelift options. The results of this facelift will start to enhance gradually over a period of 2 to 3 months and will continue to improve up to the 6th month. After that, the results of the facelift will last up to a year. Once you see the results wearing off, you can go ahead and take another session whenever you feel like it.

The results of a Fotona 4D facelift don’t last that long when compared to a Surgical Facelift. But when you compare the benefits of a nonsurgical 4D Facelift, it is worth it. In the case of a surgical facelift, the surgery itself will be hard on you and your wallet, costing thousands of dollars. After the surgery, you will also require time to recover. But in the case of the Fotona 4D facelift, it is a painless procedure, and you can repeat it when you want a refreshed look. 

What not to do after the Fotona 4D Facelift procedure?

It is very typical to have redness on your skin. You may also notice some pinpoint bleeding lasting for a few hours. This will differ from person to person depending on the depth of the procedure. Keeping these in mind, here are a few tips to help you care for yourself after the procedure.

If you notice swelling on your face, you can apply a cold compress to it. Besides, avoiding salt and spicy foods for the next 48 hours is better. Also, for the first night, sleep upright to prevent putting pressure on your face.

After 2- 4 days, you can start a regular skincare routine. Start by washing your face twice a day, applying moisturizer, and don’t forget sunscreen during the day. 

The most important tip would be to avoid scratching your face or continuously touching your face. Let your face heal from the laser.
