Treatment Overview
Fotona 4D Lift is a non-invasive skin tightening and rejuvenation treatment that uses dual-wavelength laser technology (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG). It works in four modes—SmoothLiftin™, FRAC3®, PIANO®, and SupErficial™—to target multiple skin layers. The procedure stimulates collagen, reduces wrinkles, lifts sagging areas, and improves overall skin tone and texture. Unlike other tightening devices, it also treats inside the oral cavity to lift nasolabial folds from within.
Juvelook is a hybrid injectable that combines polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres with hyaluronic acid (HA). It provides immediate hydration and progressive collagen stimulation, improving skin density, elasticity, and radiance.
When combined, Fotona 4D Lift and Juvelook deliver comprehensive rejuvenation: Fotona tightens and lifts with laser energy, while Juvelook restores hydration and elasticity for long-lasting anti-aging effects.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: Fotona contracts collagen fibers and stimulates new production.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Softens nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and fine wrinkles.
- Collagen Remodeling: Both treatments stimulate fibroblasts for firmer skin.
- Hydration & Glow: Juvelook’s HA enhances moisture and radiance.
- Texture Refinement: Fotona improves tone, texture, and pore size.
