Laser facial rejuvenation is a non-invasive method that is carried out in four stages, each of which serves a different purpose to restore the skin from the inside.
Laser skin treatments are a proven way to reduce wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, as well as tighten sagging skin and balance skin tone.
Facial skin rejuvenation 3D and 4D
The effect of Fotona facial skin rejuvenation is achieved quickly, non-invasively and effectively through a combination of various laser reconstruction methods. Recreating the collagen framework of the middle and lower third of the face acts in three directions: the volume of facial tissues increases, the tone and turgor of the skin and tissues are restored. The face looks fresher and younger, and this effect lasts for years. 3D laser facial skin rejuvenation is better than any facelift!
What's happening?
The laser “works” all layers of the skin: from the superficial to the deepest. The procedures (intraoral lift, skin tightening, light peeling) are performed sequentially one after another, absolutely painless, anesthesia and rehabilitation are not required. The skin area after the procedure is reduced by 10-15%, providing a collagen “tightening” effect. Fotona 4D procedures can be performed year-round. Laser rejuvenation has a long-term increasing effect, the result becomes most noticeable after 6 months. If you maintain your weight, you will enjoy the effects of laser treatments for at least 5 years.
What problems does it solve?
Fotona facial skin rejuvenation copes with almost all age-related changes:
- eliminates wrinkles: both facial and age-related;
- tightens the skin (the effect is like after plastic surgery);
- eliminates imperfections;
- start the skin regeneration process.
We do not retouch signs of age, but truly restore youth.
Rehabilitation period. When to expect results
3D facelift is a minimally invasive technique with a rehabilitation period of up to 2 - 5 days. Redness and swelling quickly disappear, and the pronounced lifting effect lasts up to 2 years. Rejuvenation is noticeable within a few days after the first session. A course of 2 - 3 procedures at monthly intervals will be enough to reliably consolidate the result. The effect of INFINI fractional rejuvenation does not depend on the phototype; the procedure can be done even on tanned skin.
Facial skin rejuvenation 3D
A neodymium laser is used, which restores not only the tone and turgor of the skin, but also the volume of facial muscle tissue, the loss of which gives the visual effect of aging. After the procedure, the volume of facial tissue increases in three directions, due to this the skin is additionally stretched. The only significant difference from 4D is that the effect is not applied to the cheeks from inside the mouth, the surface of the skin is treated only from the outside. This method is applicable when there is no need or there are contraindications for exposure through the oral cavity. It is performed on a Fotona laser unit, currently recognized as one of the most effective devices for performing 3D-4D rejuvenation procedures.
How to increase the effectiveness of the fractional facial rejuvenation procedure?
Hardware-based skin rejuvenation techniques are optimally combined with injection techniques, demonstrating an overall more lasting and pronounced result. It has been proven that tissues filled with moisture and beneficial microelements are much more susceptible to fractional and radiofrequency effects, and are also prone to faster recovery after the procedure.
It is recommended to include courses of mesotherapy and biorevitalization procedures in a comprehensive treatment plan along with 3D rejuvenation sessions.
Injections are carried out as part of therapy in conjunction with fractional skin rejuvenation, pursuing the following goals:
- preparation for the procedure to enhance the effect;
- reduction of the rehabilitation period after the procedure.
A high-quality, thoughtful approach to facial rejuvenation determines a predictable and long-term treatment result.
4D facial skin rejuvenation
A procedure using four lasers with different attachments that specifically solve specific problems, which together gives a result comparable to the effect of a circular lift. Recreating the collagen framework of the middle and lower third of the face restores youth, eliminates wrinkles and imperfections, and most importantly, stimulates further tissue self-healing. In 3D and 4D facial skin rejuvenation, various laser technologies are consistently used:
Intraoral lift
Performed with a Smooth Liftin laser. The laser heats the interstitial fluid, affecting the submucosal layer of the cheeks and mouth, and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. The effect of wrinkle smoothing and lifting is comparable to the effect of injection of fillers.
Skin rejuvenation
Performed using the Frac3 laser. As a result of the procedure, the effect of reconstruction of the dermis is achieved, most pronounced in areas of visible defects. FRAC3 technology is used both as an independent rejuvenation procedure and as part of combined techniques. As a result of the procedure, tone, turgor and tissue density are restored.
Skin tightening
Performed using a Piano laser. The unique ultra-long burst pulse mode allows uniform heating of tissues to a depth of 6-8 mm, painlessly delivering a large amount of heat to the tissues. Even the middle and deep layers of the dermis are subjected to reconstruction, maintaining the effect of rejuvenation and tightening of the skin from the inside.
Cold peeling
Performed using the SupErficial laser. The technique uses a change in the light reflection of the skin by removing the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The skin becomes even, smooth and glowing. The SuperErficial procedure is used as an independent technique or as a stage of a combined technology.
In what cases is laser therapy indicated?
The Fotona 4D procedure is suitable for anyone who has problems:
- Sagging skin leading to fine lines, wrinkles, loss of volume, age spots;
- Loss of elasticity and sagging skin;
- Nasolabial folds;
- Uneven skin tone and texture
Contraindications
Although laser treatment offers significant benefits, as with any other medical procedure, there are guidelines against performing this type of procedure. An incomplete list of contraindications for laser skin treatment:
- Acute infections;
- Pregnancy or lactation period;
- Diabetes;
- Chronic skin diseases in the acute stage, psoriasis (progressive stage);
- Untreated skin or organ cancer. Suspicious moles;
- Mental disorders;
- Tendency to abnormal scarring or hyperpigmentation, etc.
Complications after the procedure
During the laser treatment you will feel a slight warming and stinging sensation. After a laser treatment, the skin may become red and sensitive to the sun as part of the healing process.
It is quite natural that after laser facial rejuvenation some complications may arise:
- Mild swelling and redness. Treated skin may become red and itchy. The swelling and redness usually last only a few hours or days.
- Acne. Applying thick creams and bandages to the face after treatment may worsen acne or cause tiny white bumps (milia) to temporarily appear on the treated skin;
- Infection. Carrying out the procedure in unsanitary conditions can lead to bacterial, viral or fungal infection;
- Changes in skin color. There is a chance that the treated skin will become darker than it was before treatment (hyperpigmentation) or lighter (hypopigmentation) starting a few weeks after laser resurfacing. Permanent changes in skin color are more common in people with darker skin.
Benefits of laser rejuvenation
In most cases, patients see immediate results. Ideal for any time of year, Fotona Laser Facial Rejuvenation requires minimal downtime (depending on the severity of your skin concern), allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately.
- No bleeding, bruising or scarring;
- Painless procedure;
- No anesthesia required;
- Improvements are noticeable after the first procedure;
- Additional improvement lasts for about 6-9 months due to the restoration of elastin and collagen.
How is Fotona laser facial rejuvenation performed?
Thanks to the innovative use of two laser wavelengths and four different treatment modes, Fotona 4D Laser Facial Rejuvenation works quickly and effectively, improving the appearance of both the superficial and deep structures of the skin. This innovative skin-transforming technology offers a variety of treatment options.
During laser facial rejuvenation, an intense beam of light energy (laser) is directed at the skin. The laser beam destroys the outer layer of skin (epidermis). At the same time, the laser heats the lower dermis, which over time stimulates the production of collagen, which will help regenerate “new” skin that is smoother in texture and firmer to the touch. The procedure typically takes between 30 minutes and two hours, depending on the technique used and the size of the area being treated.
The Fotona 4D laser treatment is a four-step procedure using multiple laser parameters that addresses aging issues from both the inside and out.
Using this technique tightens and strengthens looser skin, eliminates surface pigment defects, stimulates the formation of new collagen, thus eliminating wrinkles, and also restores the surface layers of the skin, giving it a natural glow. The procedure includes the following steps:
- Before laser resurfacing, the skin must be prepared. The skin is cleansed, excess makeup, dirt and bacteria are removed;
- Start of the procedure. The laser moves slowly over the designated area of skin in four stages.
- Cover the affected area with a bandage to protect the skin.????
What must be observed after laser therapy?
The Fotona laser rejuvenation procedure is very convenient. Patients are advised to use sunscreen daily and avoid excessive sun exposure for best face lift results.
Prices for laser facial rejuvenation in Moscow
The cost of Photon 4D laser rejuvenation depends on the area being treated (face, neck, décolleté). Since Fotona laser rejuvenation is difficult to perform, a qualified doctor is required who can carry out this procedure in the clinic without harm to the patient’s health. Pricing policies in regions may vary greatly. For example, in Moscow, such a procedure will cost around 34,000 to 55,000 rubles.
What does the result depend on?
LASER COMBINATION
Only a combination of lasers of different directions, intended for the 3D-4D rejuvenation procedure, gives the expected effect. Other lasers cannot be used.
QUALIFICATIONS OF THE SPECIALIST
A cosmetologist is always a bit of a sculptor. The result will depend on his experience and approach to the problem. His task is to see the woman’s future face and use all the possibilities of laser technology to achieve the desired effect, taking into account all the features of the skin and avoiding the risk of complications. In this case, the specialist works almost like a plastic surgeon, with whom you cannot make a mistake.
SKIN FEATURES
The combination of lasers, the degree and depth of their impact are selected individually, based on the characteristics of each person. In one case, the skin and tissues respond to the procedure faster and more gratefully, in another it will require additional effort and time.
A COMPLEX APPROACH
Laser exposure always causes dehydration of the skin and tissues; it is necessary to additionally maintain the water balance with the help of special care procedures and biorevitalization.

Features of the procedure:
Patented procedure using Fotona SMOOTH technology. A revolutionary non-ablative method of treating the submucosal layer of the buccal and perioral area with an Er:YAG laser to stimulate neocollagenesis. The effect of wrinkle smoothing and volumization is comparable to the effect of dermal fillers. The technology is implemented with a full fractionated laser beam.
FRAC3
The effect of fine-point coagulation of the dermis is achieved by absorption of a high-power Nd:YAG laser pulse in the “target” tissues. Coagulation islands are evenly distributed in the superficial and middle parts of the dermis. As a result of the procedure, the effect of reconstruction of the dermis is achieved, most pronounced in areas of visible defects. The procedure is carried out using an S11 scanner when working over an area with a full beam. FRAC3 technology is used both as an independent rejuvenation procedure and as part of combined techniques. As a result of the procedure, tone, turgor and tissue density are restored.
PIANO
The unique mode of ultra-long packet pulse of the Nd:YAG laser allows for uniform, homogeneous heating of tissue to a depth of 6-7 mm. An extra-long pulse allows you to painlessly deliver a large amount of heat to tissues and obtain a biorevitalization effect. The superficial, middle and deep layers of the dermis are subject to reconstruction. It is the combination of the effects of SmoothLiftin and Piano that lead to the reconstruction of the connective tissue base of the cheek and the tissues of the nasolabial triangle, achieving the effect of skin tightening.
Unique advantages of laser rejuvenation:
- With each procedure, 15-25% of old tissue can be removed, and healthy young skin is formed in its place.
- Remodeling processes occur in depth, and not just on the surface. The collagen and elastin framework is renewed.
- Solving several cosmetic problems simultaneously in one session.
- There are no restrictions on skin color, thickness or sensitivity. The procedure is suitable for all skin types.
- Laser rejuvenation can be used on any delicate areas, for example, the hands, décolleté, neck, eyelids, etc.
- No special medical care is required other than standard SPF sun protection and moisturizing cosmetics. The convenient fact is that makeup can be applied the next day after the procedure.
- The procedure is performed using only local anesthesia and lasts 30-60 minutes.
