Looking for effective facial rejuvenation without surgery? The Fotona 4D® Non-Invasive Facelift in Tecumseh at Bare Essentials Spa delivers impressive results with no downtime. Here’s everything you need to know about this advanced treatment for loose skin.
What is the Fotona 4D® Non-Invasive Facelift?
The Fotona 4D® Non-Invasive Facelift is a cutting-edge laser treatment that addresses multiple signs of aging without surgery. Unlike traditional facelifts requiring incisions and lengthy recovery, this innovative procedure uses specialized laser technology to rejuvenate your skin from both inside and out.
The “4D” refers to four distinct treatment modes that work together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation:
- SmoothLiftin™ – Targets the inner oral cavity to stimulate collagen from the inside
- FRAC3® – Addresses specific deeper imperfections and pigmentation
- PIANO® – Provides bulk heating for skin tightening and collagen remodeling
- SupErficial™ – Light laser peel that improves overall skin texture
By combining these four approaches, the treatment addresses not just surface concerns but also the structural changes that occur with aging.
How It Works: The Four Dimensions
1. SmoothLiftin™
This unique intraoral treatment targets the inner cheeks and mouth area. The laser gently heats these tissues to:
- Tighten nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Improve jawline definition
- Create a volumizing effect from the inside out
- Reach areas traditional treatments can’t access
2. FRAC3®
Using a fractional approach, this dimension:
- Targets specific deeper imperfections
- Addresses pigmentation issues
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines
- Creates micro-improvements throughout the skin
3. PIANO®
This mode delivers controlled heat deep into skin tissue:
- Stimulates collagen production and remodeling
- Tightens lax skin
- Improves overall firmness
- Triggers the body’s natural healing response
4. SupErficial™
The final dimension provides a light laser peel that:
- Refines skin texture
- Minimizes pore size
- Reduces surface imperfections
- Creates a polished appearance
