Fotona

Fotona utilizes lasers of specific wavelengths to target aging skin layers, stimulating the production of human collagen and improving issues like aging, dullness, and roughness of the skin. Laser skin rejuvenation treatment is highly targeted, using monochromatic light that minimizes heat effects, thus greatly reducing the risk of post-treatment pigmentation. With the DCD dynamic cooling system, even with increased laser energy, there’s no need to worry about burning the skin. It’s safe, reliable, and produces natural results.

Treatment Frequency

The number of sessions required can vary from 1 to 5, depending on the individual’s degree of skin aging and damage, combined with a professional assessment by the doctor.

Side Effects

Laser treatment uses low-energy monochromatic light, paired with an intelligent cooling system, ensuring high safety. Most individuals may experience minor localized swelling post-treatment, which naturally subsides within a week.

What should I do before Fotona treatment?

It's essential to avoid wearing makeup and ensure your face is clean. Individuals with skin inflammation should not undergo treatment. It's crucial to choose a reputable hospital and doctor, as the timing and course of treatment should be based on the doctor's expertise.

What should I do after treatment?

  • Avoid sun exposure for a week after the treatment.
  • Do not take aspirin and avoid cosmetics containing alcohol for a week after the treatment.

  • In very rare cases, scabbing may occur; keep the area dry and clean, and it will naturally fall off within two weeks.

What is the difference between Fotona SmoothLiftin and other anti-aging devices?

Intraoral treatment is one of the main factors that makes Fotona stand out among other anti-aging devices. For facial lifting equipment, whether they are using ultrasound or radiofrequency electromagnetic waves, we all hope to reach the fascia layer to obtain a more effective, skin tightening effect. Thermage can penetrate the skin up to 4.3mm, close to the fascia layer. Fotona’s 2940nm wavelength combined with the unique smooth mode patented technology, it can quickly tighten the mucosa from the inside of the mouth. The heat will be used closer to the fascia layer from the inside to the outside. Not only can it provide a large amount of energy, but the effect is remarkable and painless.

Fotona SmoothLiftin Treatment Principle

In Smooth Mode, by accumulating the mucous membrane in the oral cavity, the local temperature increases from 37°C to 65°C to tighten the collagen fibers and start the collagen reorganization. The filling effect is better than the intensive treatment of nasolabial folds.

Is Fotona Treatment Painful? What Should I Expect?

Fotona treatment is generally described as comfortable and well-tolerated by most patients. The sensation varies by treatment mode:

  • SmoothLiftin (intraoral): Completely painless with gentle warming sensation
  • FRAC3 fractional treatment: Mild tingling or warm sensation
  • PIANO mode: Slight warming feeling as heat penetrates deeper skin layers
  • SupErficial peel: Minimal discomfort, similar to light tingling

Most patients rate the discomfort at a maximum of 3/10 on the pain scale. No anesthesia is typically required, though topical numbing cream can be applied 40 minutes before treatment for sensitive patients. The treatment becomes easier to handle after the first session.

How Many Fotona Sessions Do I Need for Best Results?

Most patients require 3-4 Fotona sessions for optimal results, though this varies based on individual skin concerns and treatment goals:

  • Mild skin aging: 2-3 sessions may be sufficient
  • Moderate skin laxity: 3-4 sessions recommended
  • Advanced aging concerns: 4-5 sessions may be needed
  • Maintenance: Touch-up sessions every 6 months

Sessions are typically spaced 2-3 weeks apart to allow for proper collagen formation and skin healing. Results are cumulative, with improvements visible after each treatment.

What is the Downtime After Fotona Treatment?

Fotona treatment has minimal to no downtime, making it ideal for busy Toronto professionals. Here's what to expect:

Immediate post-treatment:

  • Mild redness and warmth similar to mild sunburn
  • Possible minor swelling (subsides within 24-48 hours)
  • Skin may feel tight or slightly sensitive

Recovery timeline:

  • Day 1-2: Mild redness and possible swelling
  • Day 3-7: Gradual improvement, skin feels smoother
  • Week 2-4: Continued collagen production and skin tightening

Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. Makeup can be applied the same day if needed.

What Skin Conditions Can Fotona Treat?

Fotona's versatile technology effectively addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously:

Aging concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Skin laxity and sagging
  • Loss of facial volume
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines

Skin texture issues:

  • Acne scars and pitted scarring

How Long Do Fotona Results Last?

Fotona treatment results are long-lasting due to genuine collagen stimulation and remodeling:

Initial results:

  • Immediate skin tightening visible after first session
  • Continued improvement over 2-3 months as collagen develops

Duration of results:

  • Face and neck: Results typically last 12-18 months
  • Body treatments: Results may last 6-12 months
  • Maintenance recommendations: Touch-up sessions every 6 months

Results longevity depends on individual factors including age, skin condition, lifestyle, and sun protection habits. Proper skincare and sun protection significantly extend treatment benefits.
