INVASIVE DEGREE
Low
From the age of 20 onwards, we all lose 1 to 2 % of our collagen on an annual basis. If you don't keep up, sooner or later, you'll see the gradual appearance of sagging skin. Wrinkles will start to form and your face will sag under gravity. Fotona Ultimate Tightening is the perfect tool to remedy this problem.
Fotona SP Dynamis is a highly sophisticated dual-wavelength laser that can specifically target collagen induction, stimulating your own body to synthesize new, younger, more elastic collagen.
What is Fotona Ultimate Tightening?
Fotona Ultimate Tightening is a series of synergistic, non-invasive laser treatments of the outer face and inner oral cavity, enabling full-thickness collagen contraction for persistent tightening and volumizing (wrinkle reduction) without injections, giving you a naturally more youthful appearance. Fotona SP Dynamis is the only laser in the world that can be safely administered from inside the oral cavity to stimulate collagen and tighten the underlying skin.
The four "dimensions" of Fotona Ultimate Tightening
In one session, you'll receive 4 laser treatments that target the skin from the inside out for optimal skin firming.
1- SmoothLiftinTM
The first step is a painless intraoral laser treatment, which targets volume through a process called collagen induction. The effects are a general improvement in skin tension and elasticity, as well as a plumping effect, much like a filler. This step has considerable effects on reducing nasolabial folds, marionette lines and perioral wrinkles such as those of smokers.
2- PIANO®
The second stage of Fotona Ultimate Tightening is to deeply and safely warm the skin from the outside in by concentrating energy delivery subcutaneously, targeting deep collagen. This step is performed using a brushing technique and delivers an exceptional tightening effect for areas suffering from skin laxity, in particular the lower face, chin and neck.
3- FRAC3®
The third stage involves targeted treatment of specific medium-depth skin imperfections, such as age spots and vascular components, using a fractional laser. This treatment is fast, effective and restores a more youthful texture.
4- SupErficialTM
The final step is like a polishing effect for your skin. The treatment removes superficial dead skin cells to reveal the brighter, healthier tissue beneath, giving your skin that perceptible "glow". This final stage of the treatment can be tailored to the needs of each individual patient. If necessary, we can be more aggressive and go deeper with skin resurfacing, giving you more dramatic results, but with more downtime.
At the time of your treatment, your skin will be cleansed and you and your technician or doctor will wear protective eyewear. The device will be held and moved close to your skin. Treatment generally lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
Fotona Ultimate Tightening is a sophisticated and reliable laser treatment that will give you excellent results for a holistic approach to the skin of the face, chin and neck, targeting imperfections in skin texture, skin laxity, sagging of the face and neck, as well as significantly reducing major facial wrinkles. You'll see immediate results, but the best results will come in the weeks and months ahead (up to 6 months), as your own body builds new, younger, more elastic collagen to tighten your skin and reduce wrinkles while lifting your sagging face and neck. The results are subtle, gradual and continuous changes that look very natural. We recommend a series of 3 treatments at one-month intervals with Fotona Ultimate Tightening with an annual or bi-annual maintenance treatment to give you long-lasting results.
Pain levels are very low, making the treatment particularly well tolerated. Most patients describe only a sensation of gradual warmth or mild tingling, similar to a mild sunburn. After the session, there is generally no residual pain, and activities can be resumed immediately.
A laser skin tightening session lasts an average of 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the areas treated. This is often referred to as a "lunchtime" procedure, as it can be performed during the day without disrupting your activities.
As for recovery, slight redness or swelling may appear immediately after the treatment, but these usually disappear within a few hours. Most patients resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
The treatment is considered minimally invasive. Unlike cosmetic surgery, there are no incisions or injections, and no significant damage to surrounding tissue. The laser acts in a targeted and progressive way on collagen, enabling visible firming while preserving the health and integrity of the skin.
The treatment delivers visible results from the very first session, with skin that appears firmer, smoother and more radiant. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, the oval of the face is better defined and skin texture is improved.
The most remarkable effect, however, develops over the following months: thanks to continuous collagen stimulation, your skin gradually and naturally firms up. The results are subtle, long-lasting and very natural-looking. For an optimal and prolonged effect, we recommend three sessions spaced one month apart, followed by annual or biannual maintenance.
Each treatment is personalized by our specialized doctors, according to your needs, your skin type and the area to be treated. After cleansing the skin, you and your doctor will wear protective eyewear. The session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the areas targeted.
The combined use of several laser technologies enables us to work deep down as well as on the surface, for a global action. The procedure is non-invasive, safe and well-tolerated, requiring no surgery or injections. Thanks to this tailor-made approach, we ensure that every patient receives optimal results, adapted to their skin profile and aesthetic goals.
As skin ages, it loses collagen (around 1 to 2% per year from age 20), leading to sagging and the appearance of wrinkles. This treatment works deep down to stimulate new collagen production, firm skin and improve texture, all in a natural, non-invasive way.
During a session, four complementary laser dimensions are used to target different skin layers:
1. SmoothLiftin:
A painless intraoral treatment that stimulates collagen synthesis from within. It improves firmness and elasticity while providing a filler-like plumping effect, reducing wrinkles around the mouth and nasolabial folds.
2. PIANO:
Gentle heat is applied from the outside inwards, targeting collagen deep down. This step produces a remarkable tightening effect, particularly on the lower face, chin and neck.
3.FRAC3:
A fractional treatment targeting mid-depth skin imperfections, such as age spots and certain vascular irregularities. It improves skin texture and evens out skin tone.
4.SupErficial
A light "polishing" of the skin's surface to remove dead cells and revive the complexion's radiance. Depending on needs, this resurfacing can be more or less deep to achieve more pronounced results.
Thanks to this unique combination of technologies, the treatment works synergistically to offer overall firming of the face, neck and chin, with visible, progressive and natural results.
