FAQs - everything you need to know
As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to skin laxity and the appearance of wrinkles.
Fotona is a non-invasive laser treatment that can stimulate collagen and improve the look of firmness and skin quality.
Fotona technology works deeply through all layers of the skin to create a lifting effect with a natural appearance.
In a single session, four complementary laser modes target the skin from different angles::
- SmoothLiftin:: generally well tolerated treatment that stimulates collagen and plumps the skin from within.
- PIANO:controlled heating of the deeper layers to tighten the face, chin, and neck.
- FRAC3:: can help improve the appearance of texture.
- SupErficial:gentle exfoliation that may contribute to a brighter-looking complexion.
Before the treatment, the skin is carefully cleansed, and the Fotona laser is applied with precision by your technician. Protective eyewear is worn throughout the session, and a topical numbing cream can be used if needed for comfort.
The procedure takes approximately 1 to 2.5 hours. Recovery is generally short for most patients: slight redness or swelling may appear for a few hours, but the majority of patients resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Some patients notice a gradual improvement. Some patients also notice changes after just a few sessions of smoother, firmer, more toned skin. Over the weeks, natural collagen production strengthens, firming tissues, reducing wrinkles and redefining the contours of the face, chin and neck.
The results:: may improve the appearance of firmness and skin quality.
To maintain the benefits of the treatment we recommend a series of three to six treatments (depending on the degree of loosening) at one-month intervals, followed by annual or biannual maintenance.
Fotona is ideal for anyone seeking to tighten, lift, and rejuvenate their skin without surgery or downtime. It’s suitable for both women and men who notice mild to moderate skin laxity, the appearance of wrinkles, or loss of definition in the face, chin, or neck.
The treatment is safe for all skin types and can be customized to suit each patient's individual needs and aesthetic goals.
Fotona primarily targets the face, chin, and neck, where wrinkles and skin laxity are most visible.
Fotona is generally well tolerated when performed by a qualified professional.
Side effects are minimal and temporary. Slight heat, redness or swelling may appear, typically disappearing within a few hours. A topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort, especially for patients with sensitive skin.
As with any medical treatment, there are risks, but they are generally low.
To maintain long-term results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments one month apart is recommended, followed by annual or biannual maintenance depending on your skin’s needs.
Depending on your goals, Fotona may be one of several available options. Certain treatments can enhance or extend the results, such as SecretPROfor additional firming, or the Microneedling PRPto boost natural collagen regeneration.
