How it works
Fotona 4D® = 4 Dimensions = 4 Steps
Fotona 6D® = 6 Dimensions = 6 Steps
How Fotona 4D & 6D Work
Fotona 4D® and 6D® utilize a combination of Er:YAG (2940 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) wavelengths to address multiple layers of the skin in a single session — from deep connective tissue to surface texture.
Each step of the 4D or 6D sequence is carefully designed to tighten, volumize, and resurface the skin, giving a natural, lifted appearance.
Fotona 4D® Treatment Stages
- SmoothLiftin™ (Intraoral Lift) – Delivers gentle Er:YAG energy inside the mouth to tighten nasolabial folds and stimulate collagen from within.
- FRAC3® (Deep Fractional Rejuvenation) – Uses Nd:YAG to target deep imperfections and stimulate collagen in the mid-dermis.
- PIANO® (Deep Heating & Tightening) – Provides bulk heating safely to the deeper dermis, tightening loose skin and improving elasticity.
- SupErficial™ (Light Peel & Polish) – A gentle laser peel that refines skin tone and texture for a smooth, radiant finish.
Fotona 6D® – Enhanced Technology
Building upon the 4D foundation, Fotona 6D® adds two additional modes for a more comprehensive rejuvenation:
5. SmoothEye® – Targets fine lines and crepey skin
around the eyes.
6. LipLase® – Naturally plumps and defines the
lips without injectables.
Together, Fotona 6D® treats six dimensions of skin ageing, achieving deep tightening, volumization, and textural refinement — a truly full-face anti-ageing solution.

WHAT TO EXPECT
You’ll feel a warm, tightening sensation as energy penetrates deep into the dermis stimulating collagen without harming the surface.Treatment typically takes 60–90 minutes, with no downtime — allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately.
PREPARATION
To achieve the best results and minimise risks, it’s important to follow these pre-treatment guidelines:
✔ Avoid sun exposure to prevent skin irritation or damage before your treatment.
- Please advise our team if you have had any injectable treatments recently prior to undergoing laser treatment.
- Discontinue the use of Retin-A/Retinol products for 3 days prior to treatment.
- The treatment area should be free of hair. Men undergoing facial treatments should shave on the morning of their session.
- Avoid skin peels at least 2 weeks before treatment.
AFTERCARE
1. Avoid Rubbing or Scratching Your Skin
Some patients may experience mild redness or tenderness after treatment. Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the treated area to allow your skin to heal naturally and enhance results.
2. Refrain from Applying Makeup
The skin may be more sensitive after laser treatment. Avoid applying foundation, powders, or other makeup for the first few days, as this may irritate the skin or clog pores, delaying recovery.
3. Keep Your Skin Hydrated
You may apply a cold medical or mild hydrating sheet mask starting the first evening (at least 4 hours post-treatment). Use it nightly for one week to accelerate soothing and recovery.
4. Gently Cleanse Your Skin
Use cool or lukewarm water with a gentle, oil-free cleanser. Avoid exfoliants, scrubs, or vigorous washing to support the healing process and enhance laser results.
5. First Week – What to Avoid
• Avoid exfoliation or chemical peels (including AHAs, BHAs, or Retinol).
• Avoid other aesthetic treatments such as laser or RF.
• Do not use harsh or active skincare products.
6. First 72 Hours – What to Avoid
• No alcohol consumption.
• Avoid swimming, hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms.
• Avoid strenuous exercise or any activity that causes heavy sweating.
• Pause the use of Vitamin C skincare products.
7. Don’t Skip Sun Protection
Avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ sunscreen daily. UV rays can increase the risk of skin damage and affect your treatment results.

Fotona 4D incorporates four distinct modalities: two dedicated
to skin tightening and two focused on enhancing surface texture and skin tone.
In essence, it combines the effectiveness of four different treatments into one
comprehensive anti-ageing treatment.
Furthermore, Fotona 4D harnesses the power of laser energy, whereas many
other skin tightening treatments utilise ultrasound or radiofrequency energy.
Although ultrasound skin tightening can deliver more pronounced results, Fotona
4D offers a few unique advantages. Fotona 4D has faster visible results, as
well as the added benefits of improved surface texture and tone.
For best results, we recommend starting with a course of three treatments spaced one month apart.
There is no downtime after Fotona 4D. You may experience some redness and skin sensitivity immediately after your treatment. However, this usually resolves within 24 hours. Our staff will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your skin after this treatment.
You will see some results right away as the collagen contracts and tightens the skin. Your complexion will also be a little fresher as the dead skin cells are gently ablated. Further skin tightening and brightening results will appear gradually over 2-3 months as collagen stimulation and skin cell turnover occurs. Full results can be expected around 2-3 months after treatment.
Following your recommended treatment course, we recommend scheduling maintenance appointments every 6 months, or as advised by our laser specialists. These periodic sessions are essential for preserving the outcomes achieved through your Fotona 4D treatment.
