What It Is
Fotona4D® in plain language.
Fotona4D® is a named multi-step facial rejuvenation protocol delivered with Fotona laser technology. Rather than treating one isolated feature, the protocol is designed around complementary treatment steps and tissue depths.
Evaluate the aging pattern
Lines, laxity, texture, tone and facial structure are reviewed together.
Select protocol depth
Fotona treatment steps and settings are chosen based on skin characteristics and goals.
Perform the planned sequence
The selected multi-step treatment is delivered, followed by individualized aftercare and maintenance planning.

Physician-Led Selection
The treatment name is only the starting point.
Fotona4D is not automatically the best option for every facial-aging concern. XERF™, injectables, filler, resurfacing or combination care may be more appropriate for some patients.
Treatment Experience
What treatment may feel like.
Different steps can feel different, commonly ranging from warmth to more noticeable resurfacing sensation depending on the protocol selected.

Common questions.
What is Fotona4D®?
Fotona4D® is a series of synergistic, non-invasive laser treatments of both the exterior facial and interior oral cavity, enabling full-thickness contraction of collagen for persistent tightening and volumization without injectables. With two laser wavelengths and 4 treatment modes, anti-aging is comprehensively approached from 4 different levels, working on deeper, medial and superficial connective structures of the skin, as well as targeting imperfections.
How long will it take to see results?
Results will vary with every individual, but most patients notice some results immediately, with the full effect taking place gradually over a period of 2-3 months. If you select to have a more aggressive treatment, you may experience a day or two or redness.
What does the procedure feel like?
Everyone is different, but typically there is a gradual warming sensation, and after a few minutes you may experience some very brief hot sensations in the treatment area, which dissipate quickly.
Does the procedure require any downtime?
No, the treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive, allowing patients to resume their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.
