My Laser Lift With The Fotona 4D
Laser lifting with the Fotona 4D is an innovative method that combines the latest laser technologies to tighten the skin from the inside and outside. The aim is to reduce wrinkles and improve facial contours. And it’s painless too. This made me so curious that I wanted to try it out for myself..
During my consultation with Dr. Stefan Duve from the MVZ Haut- und Laserzentrum an der Oper in Munich, I learn the most important cornerstones of laser lift with the Fotona 4D.
What is the aim of the Fotona laser lift?
Dr. Duve: As with many of these devices that are now on the market, the aim is to tighten the connective tissue. The advantage of the Fotona 4D is that it can be used from the outside and inside using two different laser systems. One is an erbium Yag and the other a neodymium Yag. Ultimately, it is a tightening of weakening connective tissue with the aim of producing new collagen and elastic connective tissue.
Do both laser systems always work simultaneously?
No. There are a total of four modes for the laser lift that can be set. And the more of these four functions you combine, the better the result. The Fotona has four phases that specifically stimulate the different skin layers: “Smooth” is used in the oral cavity to stimulate the collagen in the cheek area. This leads to tightening from the inside out. “Piano” creates an extensive warming of the skin, which tightens the tissue and promotes the formation of new collagen.
“Frac3” targets deeper layers of the skin to reduce minor imperfections such as pigmentation spots or acne scars, and the “SupErficial” mode gently removes the top layer of skin to smooth the skin and create a fresh complexion.
However, the fourth mode with the Erbium Yag from the outside is associated with a slight burning of the skin, a kind of deeper peeling. It is therefore often omitted if the treatment is carried out in spring or summer.
When does the firming effect occur?
As with all these, let’s say, tightening methods, only after several weeks. So you don’t actually see the end result for two to three months.
Are there any side effects with the laser lift?
You only have to reckon with side effects if you use the fourth mode with the Super-Erbium. This causes crust formation and you have to be careful with the sun.… weiterlesen

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
