Fotona 4D Laser in Korea

Laser Jawline Contouring

Treatment Overview

Fotona 4D Laser is a multi-layer laser lifting system that rejuvenates skin using two wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) in four steps, targeting both deep and superficial layers. It improves sagging, wrinkles, and texture while enhancing skin tone and radiance.

In Korean dermatology clinics, Fotona 4D is often combined with Shurink HIFU. Shurink works on the deep SMAS layer for lifting, while Fotona 4D refines dermal and surface layers, creating a comprehensive anti-aging effect.

Purpose & Benefits

  • Skin Tightening: Firms the skin through collagen stimulation.
  • Wrinkle Reduction: Improves both fine lines and deeper folds (e.g., nasolabial).
  • Texture & Tone: Smooths surface roughness and brightens overall complexion.
  • Jawline & Midface Lift: Targets cheek sagging and perioral laxity.
  • Complementary Effect with Shurink: Deep lift + surface rejuvenation combined.
  • Non-Surgical: Provides natural lifting without surgery or downtime.

Ideal Candidates

Fotona 4D with Shurink in Korea is recommended for:

  • Patients with mild to moderate sagging plus surface skin concerns.
  • Individuals with nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and fine wrinkles.
  • Those with uneven texture, large pores, or dullness.
  • Men and women seeking non-surgical rejuvenation with layered results.
  • Patients preferring a natural, subtle lift with skin brightening.

Possible Risks & Complications

Fotona 4D is very safe, but some minor effects may occur:

  • Redness or warmth immediately after treatment.
  • Mild peeling or flaking from superficial laser pass.
  • Rare risk of pigmentation changes if sun care is neglected.
  • Very rare chance of burns if performed improperly.

Treatment Techniques Used

Fotona 4D combines four steps:

  1. SmoothLiftin™ (Intraoral): Tightens nasolabial folds from inside the mouth.
  2. FRAC3®: Fractional Nd:YAG laser stimulates dermal collagen.
  3. PIANO®: Bulk heating for deep tissue tightening.
  4. SupErficial™: Light laser peel for tone and glow.

Protocol: Usually performed as a single session or 3-session program. Shurink HIFU is often scheduled alongside or alternated for maximum lifting.

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Immediately: Mild redness or warmth, subsides in hours.
  • 1–2 Days: Slight dryness or peeling may appear.
  • 1–4 Weeks: Visible glow, smoother texture, and firming effects.

Aftercare Tips:

  • Apply SPF 50+ daily.
  • Hydrate with gentle creams or serums.
  • Avoid saunas and strong exfoliants for several days.
  • Keep skin barrier protected for best results.

Results & Longevity

  • After 1 Session: Brighter, smoother, slightly firmer skin.
  • After 2–3 Months: Noticeable tightening, wrinkle reduction, and contour lift.
  • Longevity: Results last 12–18 months; annual or biannual sessions recommended.
