Fotona Laser Facelift Results and Patient Photos
Many clients choose Fotona 4D because the results build gradually and look like “you, but rested.” Depending on your skin quality and goals, you may notice improvements such as a more defined jawline, smoother cheek texture, softer smile lines, and a subtle lift through the midface. Because this treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, changes typically continue developing for several weeks after each session.
We encourage you to review our patient photos and real results during your visit. Seeing outcomes on different skin types and concerns helps set realistic expectations and makes it easier to choose the right plan (3D vs 4D, full face vs targeted areas, and optional add-ons).
Fotona 4D Laser Facelift Treatment Summary
Cost & Pricing
Pricing depends on the treatment plan (3D vs 4D), the areas treated, and whether you add options like SmoothLiftin or eye rejuvenation. We’ll review clear per‑session and package pricing at consult.
What To Expect
Most appointments take about 45–60 minutes. You’ll feel progressive warmth as we work inside the mouth and on the skin surface. No needles, and you can typically return to normal routines right after.
Mechanism of Action
Fotona’s Er:YAG and Nd:YAG energy creates controlled, layered heating to stimulate collagen remodeling, improve elasticity, and refine texture. Passes target deeper support while polishing the surface.
Benefits & Results
Expect a firmer, more lifted look around the cheeks, jawline, and lower face, with softer lines and smoother texture. Improvements build gradually over several weeks as new collagen develops.
Post-Treatment Care
Keep skincare simple for 24–48 hours: gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and daily SPF. Avoid heat, strenuous workouts, and active ingredients for a few days. Your provider will tailor aftercare to your skin.
Side Effects & Downtime
Temporary redness, warmth, or mild swelling are common and usually settle within hours. Some clients notice light flaking after the superficial step. Downtime is minimal for most healthy skin types.

How the Fotona 4D Laser Facelift Works: The 4-Step Inside-Out Protocol
p>Fotona 4D is designed to address facial aging at multiple depths in a single visit. Rather than treating only the surface, it combines intraoral tightening (inside the mouth) with external laser passes that target deeper support structures and then refine the skin surface. The result is a comprehensive approach to facial firming and rejuvenation without incisions.
Step 1: SmoothLiftin (intraoral tightening)
This step treats the mucosal side of the cheeks and around the mouth. By delivering controlled heat from inside, SmoothLiftin can help support the midface and perioral area while encouraging collagen remodeling. Many clients like this step because it targets areas that external devices can’t reach as effectively.
Step 2: FRAC3 (targeted deep rejuvenation)
Next, we use a fractional pattern that targets deeper imperfections and uneven texture. This step is often selected to address visible aging signs such as fine lines, roughness, and overall skin quality, while still keeping downtime low for most patients.
Step 3: PIANO (bulk heating for firming)
PIANO uses controlled “bulk heating” over larger zones to promote tightening and improved elasticity. It is commonly used along the lower face and jawline, and it may be extended toward the upper neck depending on your plan and comfort.
Step 4: SupErficial (light polish)
The final step gently “polishes” the surface to refine texture and brighten the complexion. If you have sun damage or dullness, this can be a helpful finishing pass for a smoother, more even-looking result.
During your consultation, we’ll determine which steps (and what intensity) best match your goals. Some patients do best with a full 4D Skin Lift approach, while others prefer a more targeted plan focused on the lower face, jawline, or perioral lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Fotona 4D sessions will I need?
Many clients start with a series to build collagen and then transition to maintenance. Your recommended number of sessions depends on your skin laxity, texture concerns, and how quickly you want results. We’ll outline an evidence-informed plan during your assessment.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Some people notice a subtle tightening right away, but the more noticeable changes typically develop over the following weeks as collagen remodels. Longevity depends on age, skin quality, sun exposure, and lifestyle; maintenance sessions can help extend results.
Does the intraoral (inside-the-mouth) part hurt?
The intraoral step is generally well tolerated. Most clients describe warmth and pressure rather than sharp pain. If you’re sensitive, we can adjust settings and pacing to keep you comfortable.
Is there downtime? Can I wear makeup or go back to work?
Downtime is usually minimal. Mild redness or warmth may occur the same day, and some clients experience light flaking after the superficial step. We typically recommend waiting about 24 hours before applying makeup and avoiding intense heat or workouts for 24–48 hours.
Can Fotona 4D replace fillers or a surgical facelift?
Fotona 4D can be an excellent option for mild to moderate laxity and texture concerns, especially if you want gradual, natural-looking improvement. For advanced laxity, significant volume loss, or dramatic lifting goals, you may benefit from combining treatments or exploring surgical options. We will guide you honestly based on your anatomy and goals.
Who is not a good candidate for a Fotona laser facelift?
We may postpone treatment if you are pregnant, have an active infection or open lesions in the treatment area, or have certain medical conditions that affect healing. If you are prone to pigment changes, have a history of keloid scarring, or are using specific medications, we will review risks and alternatives during consultation.
