Fotona4D® in Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Fotona 4D is a non-surgical laser facelift that treats the face from the inside of the mouth to the surface of the skin in one session. It uses two laser wavelengths across four steps to tighten, lift and refresh, with little to no downtime.

Why Choose Charisma for Fotona 4D

  • Genuine Fotona platform — Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser modes used to the full 4D protocol.
  • Intraoral expertise — SmoothLiftin performed from inside the mouth for nasolabial folds and mid-face volume.
  • Tailored steps — 2D, 3D or full 4D chosen by skin needs.
  • Combination plans — with skin boosters, HIFU or Morpheus8 when more is needed.

What Is Fotona 4D?

Fotona 4D combines an Er:YAG laser (2940nm), which works on the surface and inside the mouth, and an Nd:YAG laser (1064nm), which heats deeper tissue. Heat causes existing collagen to contract and triggers new collagen production, which tightens skin and supports facial contour.

The Four Steps

  • SmoothLiftin — Er:YAG energy applied inside the mouth to tighten tissue behind nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
  • FRAC3 — Nd:YAG pulses that target pigment, small vessels and texture.
  • PIANO — long Nd:YAG pulses that heat the deeper dermis for tightening.
  • SupErficial — a light Er:YAG peel that refreshes the surface.

Fotona 2D vs 3D vs 4D

  • 2D — usually SmoothLiftin plus one external mode; lighter tightening.
  • 3D — adds a further mode, such as FRAC3 or PIANO.
  • 4D — all four steps for the most complete result.

What Does Fotona 4D Treat?

  • Skin laxity and jowls — tightening along the jawline.
  • Nasolabial folds and marionette lines — through intraoral treatment.
  • Fine lines and dull skin — surface renewal.
  • Mild volume loss — collagen-based plumping.
  • Uneven tone and pores — with FRAC3 and the light peel.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • Early to moderate sagging — not yet ready for surgery.
  • Prevention — younger patients maintaining firmness.
  • Event preparation — little downtime before weddings or photos.

Not suitable during pregnancy, with active infection or certain photosensitising medicines. Fotona 4D does not cause facial fat loss when performed at standard settings.

Fotona 4D vs HIFU vs Morpheus8

  • Fotona 4D — laser tightening inside and outside the mouth plus surface renewal; minimal downtime.
  • HIFU — focused ultrasound reaching deeper support layers; no surface refresh.
  • Morpheus8 — RF microneedling for texture, scars and fat-reducing contouring; a few days of downtime.

Treatment Procedure

  1. Consultation — assessment and choice of 2D, 3D or 4D.
  2. Cleansing — no numbing is usually needed.
  3. Intraoral step — SmoothLiftin inside the mouth.
  4. External steps — FRAC3, PIANO and SupErficial on the face.
  5. Finish — about 60 to 90 minutes in total.

Results Timeline

  • Same day — fresh, slightly tighter skin.
  • Weeks 2 to 6 — collagen begins to build.
  • Month 3 — best result after a course.

A course of 3 to 4 sessions, 3 to 6 weeks apart, is typical, with maintenance every 6 to 12 months.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

  • No tanning — for 2 weeks.
  • Pause retinoids — for a few days.
  • Dental work — tell your doctor about recent procedures before intraoral treatment.

Aftercare

  • Mild redness — usually settles within hours.
  • Moisturiser and SPF 50.
  • Avoid sauna and intense heat for 48 hours.

Fotona Lip Plumping

The SmoothLiftin technique can also be applied around the lips to improve hydration and fullness without filler. It is a gentle option for patients who want a subtle change.

Combined Protocols

  • Fotona 4D with skin boosters — tightening plus hydration.
  • Fotona 4D with HIFU — surface and deep support.
  • Fotona 4D with fillers — when structural volume is needed.
