Fotona 4D – Non-Surgical Facelift

What is Fotona 4D, and how does it work?

Fotona 4D is a revolutionary non-surgical facelift that utilizes four different laser modes to target multiple skin layers for firming, tightening, and wrinkle reduction. It improves both deep collagen stimulation and surface texture for a more youthful appearance.

What areas can be treated with Fotona 4D?

It primarily targets the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, under-eye area, and overall facial contour.

How many sessions do I need?

A series of treatments is recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.

Is there any downtime?

Minimal to none. Some redness or mild swelling may occur but typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours.

LipLase – Non-Surgical Lip Plumping

What is LipLase, and how does it enhance the lips?

LipLase is a non-invasive laser lip plumping treatment that stimulates collagen production to naturally enhance volume, smoothness, and definition—without fillers!

How many sessions are needed?

Multiple sessions are recommended for best results, as collagen builds over time.

How long do LipLase results last?

While long-lasting, maintenance sessions may be needed to sustain optimal volume.

Laser Peels, Fractional Peels & Resurfacing

What is a laser peel, and what does it do?

  • A laser peel removes the damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresh, new skin underneath.

It is great for improving:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Mild acne scars

What is a fractional peel, and how does it differ from a traditional laser peel?

A fractional peel uses laser energy to treat microscopic zones of skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. This allows for faster healing and collagen stimulation while targeting deep wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.

Which peel is right for me—traditional or fractional?

Traditional laser peels are better for surface texture improvement, while fractional peels are ideal for deep collagen remodeling and scar treatment.

What is the downtime after a laser or fractional peel?

Lighter peels: 1-3 days of mild redness.

Deeper fractional peels: 5-7 days of recovery with peeling and skin renewal.

Acne Scar & Surgical Scar Treatments

How does Fotona treat acne scars?

Fotona’s laser technology breaks down scar tissue, stimulates collagen, and smooths uneven skin texture. It is effective for treating:

  • Boxcar scars
  • Rolling scars
  • Ice pick scars

Can Fotona help with surgical scars and stretch marks?

Yes! The laser softens and reduces the appearance of surgical scars, keloids, and stretch marks over time.

How many sessions are needed?

Multiple sessions are typically needed for progressive improvement.

Is there downtime after scar treatment?

There is little to no downtime, though mild redness or swelling may occur for a day or two.

Active Acne Treatments

How does Fotona help with active acne?

The laser targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and shrinks overactive sebaceous (oil) glands, preventing future breakouts.

Can laser treatments replace acne medication?

While Fotona is highly effective, severe cases may require a combination of treatments, including topical or oral medications.

Laser Hair Removal

Is Fotona laser hair removal permanent?

The laser significantly reduces hair growth, but occasional maintenance sessions may be needed.

What areas can be treated?

Common areas include face, legs, underarms, bikini line, and back.

Is Fotona laser hair removal safe for all skin types?

Yes! Fotona’s advanced settings allow it to be used on a wide range of skin tones.

Neck Rejuvenation & Skin Tightening

What is Fotona neck rejuvenation?

A non-invasive laser treatment that tightens loose, sagging skin on the neck while improving overall texture.

How does Fotona tighten the skin?

It stimulates new collagen formation, firming and lifting the skin over time.

Spider Veins & Skin Tag Removal

How does laser remove skin tags?

The laser safely heats and destroys skin tags, causing them to shrink and fall off naturally.

EyeLase – Non-Surgical Eye Rejuvenation

What is EyeLase, and how does it work?

EyeLase is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Using Fotona’s advanced laser technology, it stimulates collagen production, reduces fine lines, and improves skin elasticity for a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What concerns does EyeLase treat?

EyeLase is effective for:

  • Eyelid tightening (upper and lower lids)
  • Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
  • Under-eye sagging
  • Crow’s feet
  • Dark circles (by improving circulation and collagen renewal)
  • Hooded eyelids (mild to moderate cases)

Is EyeLase a good alternative to blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)?

While EyeLase can provide significant lifting and tightening, it is best for mild to moderate skin laxity. For severe sagging or excess skin, surgical options may be more appropriate. However, EyeLase is an excellent non-surgical alternative for those looking to rejuvenate their eyes without downtime.

How many sessions do I need?

Most clients see visible improvements after one session, but a series of 3-4 treatments is typically recommended for optimal results.

How long do EyeLase results last?

Results last several months to a year, depending on your skin’s natural aging process. Maintenance treatments can help prolong the effects.

Is the treatment painful?

EyeLase is generally comfortable and well-tolerated. You may feel a gentle warming sensation, but numbing cream can be applied for extra comfort if needed.

Is there any downtime?

No! One of the biggest advantages of EyeLase is that there is little to no downtime. Some clients experience mild redness or puffiness for a few hours post-treatment, but this quickly subsides

Can I wear makeup after the treatment?

It’s best to avoid makeup for 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly. After that, you can return to your normal routine.

Is EyeLase safe for all skin types?

Yes! EyeLase is safe for all skin types and tones. A consultation is recommended to determine if it’s the right treatment for you.

Can EyeLase be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely! EyeLase pairs well with:

  • Fotona 4D for full-face rejuvenation
  • LipLase for a complete youthful look
  • Laser peels or fractional peels for enhanced skin resurfacing
  • Botox for additional wrinkle reduction
