Don’t wait until summer to address fine lines and uneven skin texture. Fotona4D® offers a multistep approach to rejuvenation that addresses multiple cosmetic concerns simultaneously. Find out how it works and what it can do for your skin.
Living in Southern California means summer-ready skin is always a priority, but the intense sun can take a toll on your complexion — even when you wear SPF everyday. If you’re starting to notice those fine lines and texture issues creeping up, a professional refresh may be in order.
At The Beauty Medics in Riverside, California, Syed Bokhari, MD, and our team of providers offer advanced aesthetic treatments to address the signs of aging and sun damage. We take a personalized approach to every consultation, helping you look and feel your best all year.
One of our most effective tools for rejuvenation is the Fotona4D® laser, a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that targets multiple cosmetic concerns in a single treatment. Here, discover the benefits of using Fotona4D for your skin.
Deep-tissue tightening
While traditional lasers only treat the skin’s surface, Fotona4D begins inside the mouth to target the deep tissue in your lower face. This step, called SmoothLiftin™, kickstarts the production of collagen and elastin — two essential proteins that keep skin firm and resilient.
By triggering collagen production from within, the first part of the treatment works to tighten and firm the jawline, cheeks, and perioral region for a visibly “lifted” appearance. It also helps diminish stubborn wrinkles in the area, like smile lines and marionette lines, the creases that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin.
Lasting improvements in tone and texture
The next phase of Fotona4D focuses on the dermis, or middle layer of skin. Steps two and three — FRAC3® and PIANO® — use targeted laser pulses to heat the dermis, breaking up pigmented spots and tightening the skin’s underlying structure.
This process addresses the uneven tone, dark spots, and crepey texture that often develop after years of sun damage. It also stimulates ongoing collagen and elastin production to smooth deep wrinkles and help you maintain firmer, more resilient skin for up to a year or more after treatment.
A polished, radiant surface
The final stage of the Fotona treatment, known as SupErficial™, is a light laser peel that refines the surface of the skin. It gently removes dead skin cells and targets superficial imperfections like fine lines and enlarged pores, leaving your complexion brighter, smoother, and more refreshed.
Zero downtime and natural-looking results
Unlike deep chemical peels and ablative lasers that require weeks of recovery, Fotona4D easily fits into your busy schedule. You might experience some mild redness or a sensation of tightness immediately after your session, but most patients return to their normal routine the same day.
Smoother, more even skin is usually visible within the first week as the surface layer heals and the initial tightening effect kicks in. Over the next few months, the deeper remodelling continues as your body produces new collagen. This results in a naturally lifted, tighter appearance that looks balanced, never over-filled or “done.”
Starting your treatment now ensures that your skin is ready for everything summer has to offer. To schedule a consultation with our team, contact The Beauty Medics online or by phone today.
