Fotona4D® uses 4 dimensions of rejuvenation to tighten the skin from the inside out.
STEP 1. SMOOTHLiftin™ (intraoral tightening) procedure using an Er:YAG laser
Procedure starts inside the mouth. This step will also reduce expression lines like the nasolabial folds and wrinkles
STEP 2. The FRAC3® procedure (skin rejuvenation) using the Nd:YAG laser.
Technology produces a threedimensional fractional pattern in the epidermis and dermis, which selectively targets specific tissue chromophores for treatment of deeper, age-related skin imperfections, initiating neocollagenisis and healing without damaging the epidermis.
STEP 3. The PIANO™ procedure (skin tightening) using a Nd:YAG laser.
Procedure provides full-thickness bulk heating for safe and controlled tightening of the dermis and epidermis, while sparing the skin from unnecessary thermal damage.
STEP 4. SupErficial (light peeling) procedure using an Er:YAG laser.
The final step in this comprehensive treatment delivers a cold, accurate and precise Er:YAG light peel, which improves the appearance of the skin, reduces superficial imperfections, and restores a youthful texture resulting in a glowing, pearl-like appearance of the skin.
Fotona SMOOTH® Mode enables non-ablative laser skin remodeling based on controlled induction of thermal injury of the collagen while preserving the epidermis. In addition to an immediate effect resulting in the shrinkage of collagen fibers, the initiation of neocollagenesis occurs causing the generation of new collagen.
The new methodology extends the duration of Nd:YAG treatments to the seconds regime, and does not cause high initial temperature peaks in the epidermis. It is therefore indicated for treatments where overall homogeneous, bulk heating of the dermis is desired.
