What Is Fotona 4D In Singapore?
Fotona 4D is a 4-dimensional treatment used for face lifting and skin tightening, as well as the reduction of wrinkles and providing an overall skin rejuvenation for ageing skin or saggy face. Fotona 4D is known to help with skin laxity, texture, tone and collagen repair.
How Does Fotona 4D Laser Facelift Work?
Fotona4D Laser Facelift works by using two different laser technology – Er:YAG and Nd:YAG with 4 unique protocols namely: SMOOTH, FRAC3, PIANO and SupErficial to rejuvenate the skin and accentuates facial features. This 4-step procedure treats skin both internally and externally, from the surface and deep skin layers to fat layers and retaining ligaments of the face.
1D Step 1: SmoothLiftin™
Treatment starts from inside the mouth, targeting the mucosa tissue (muscle inside the mouth) with Er:YAG laser in a non-ablative mode for effective tightening of the cheeks, reduction of nasolabial fold and perioral wrinkles, at the same time, lifting the treatment area like a filler.
2D Step 2: FRAC3®
Targeting the cheek and jaw area using Nd:YAG laser where controlled micro columns of skin is subjected to ‘thermal injury’ without touching the surrounding areas. This ‘injury’ triggers the skin’s natural repair mechanism to stimulate collagen production. Deeper imperfections (like deep lines) and pigments are precisely targeted to restore a youthful texture and more uniform overall complexion!
3D Step 3: PIANO®
A brushing technique is used to safely and rapidly apply heating to deeper layers of the thick dermal tissue, allowing energy to be delivered deep into the skin without causing unnecessary thermal damages to the upper layer of the skin. This bulk heating step triggers neocollagensis to create an overall tightening effect, resulting in more firm and lifted skin.
4D Step 4: SupErficial™
A light laser peel is done to address surface-level imperfections. By mild exfoliation, you will immediately notice that your skin looks refreshed and tighter with a healthy natural glow!

Fotona 4D Laser Facelift is a 30-45 minute non-invasive laser procedure with almost no downtime or discomfort. The procedure allows you to carry on with your daily activities as usual and no numbing cream is required for this treatment.
