FOTONA 4D
Facial laser rejuvenation, tailored after assessment
FOTONA4D
Fotona4D combines several Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser modes to address selected concerns about facial skin texture and firmness. Treatment may include heating from inside the mouth and on the skin surface, with a superficial resurfacing step when appropriate.
It is an option to discuss after assessment—not a surgical facelift or a promise of restored facial volume. The treatment area, settings and number of sessions depend on your skin, goals and tolerance for recovery.
Changes are variable and may develop gradually. Some people need a series of sessions or maintenance; others may be better suited to skincare, resurfacing or a different approach.
Discomfort, redness, swelling, dryness and peeling can occur. Burns, infection, pigment changes and scarring are possible. Recovery depends on the steps used, and stronger resurfacing requires more downtime.
Start with Skin & Laser Assessment. We review your concerns and discuss benefits, limitations, risks and costs. Treatment is separate, with no obligation to proceed.
PIGMENTATION ASSESSMENT
Understand the cause before choosing a treatment
Pigmentation assessment
Uneven pigment has different causes. Before discussing laser, we assess the concern and whether medical diagnosis is needed. New, changing, bleeding or otherwise suspicious lesions need medical assessment; cosmetic laser must not delay a skin cancer check.
For selected, diagnosed benign pigmentation, laser may reduce the appearance of pigment. The wavelength and settings depend on the type and depth of pigment, your skin tone and previous reactions. Several sessions may be required, pigment can recur, and complete clearance is not guaranteed.
Melasma needs particular care. It is a recurring condition, and laser can sometimes worsen it. Sun protection, skincare and medical treatment may be more appropriate than laser.
Temporary darkening, redness, swelling and crusting may occur. Burns, infection, persistent pigment changes and scarring are possible. We explain preparation, aftercare and expected recovery before treatment.
Skin & Laser Assessment is a starting point for discussing suitable options. If a medical examination is needed first, we explain the next step.
FRACTIONAL LASER AND LASER RESURFACING
FRACTIONAL LASER AND LASER RESURFACING
Laser resurfacing may improve selected concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture and the appearance of some scars. It does not erase scars, remove pores or stop the skin from ageing.
Ablative Er:YAG resurfacing removes controlled amounts of skin. Fractional resurfacing treats microscopic areas while leaving intervening skin untreated; full-surface resurfacing treats the chosen area more continuously. These approaches differ in intensity, recovery and risk.
We select the approach after reviewing your skin tone, medical history, previous treatments and available recovery time. More intensive treatment generally involves a greater healing commitment. A lighter treatment may need several sessions; results vary and maintenance may be appropriate.
Redness, swelling, discomfort, crusting or weeping can occur. More intensive treatment may require dressings and time away from normal activities. Redness can persist after the surface has healed. Burns, infection, cold-sore reactivation, lasting pigment changes and scarring are possible.
Your consultation covers preparation, expected recovery, aftercare, alternatives and costs. We may recommend skincare first, a different procedure or medical assessment. Choose Skin & Laser Assessment for advice; treatment is separate.
