INVASIVENESS
Low
Starting at age 20, we all lose 1% to 2% of our collagen on a yearly basis. This eventually causes some loose skin to appear gradually. Wrinkles will start to form and your face will start sagging with gravity. Fotona Ultimate Tightening is the tool par excellence to address this issue.
Fotona SP Dynamis is a very sophisticated dual wavelength laser that can specifically target collagen induction by stimulating your own body to synthesize new young collagen.
What is Fotona Ultimate Tightening?
Fotona Ultimate Tightening is a series of synergistic, non-invasive laser treatments of both the exterior face and interior oral cavity. It enables full-thickness contraction of collagen for persistent tightening and volumization (wrinkle reduction) without injectables, making you look younger naturally. Fotona SP Dynamis is the only laser in the world that can be administered safely from within the oral cavity to stimulate collagen and tighten the overlying skin.
The four “dimensions” of Fotona Ultimate Tightening
During one session, you will receive 4 laser treatments that will target the skin from the bottom up.
1- SmoothLiftinTM
The first step involves a pain free intraoral laser treatment which targets volume through a process called collagen induction. The effects are an overall improvement of tightness and elasticity of the skin along with a plumping effect, much like a filler. This step has tremendous effects on reducing nasolabial folds, marionette lines and perioral wrinkles like “smoker’s lines”.
2- PIANO®
The second stage of Fotona Ultimate Tightening involves heating the skin deeply and safely from the outside in by concentrating energy delivery subcutaneously targeting the deep collagen. This is done using a brushing technique and provides an outstanding tightening effect for areas experiencing skin laxity, especially in the lower face , chin, and neck.
3- FRAC3®
The third step involves the targeted treatment of specific, mid depth imperfections in the skin like age spots and vascular components using a fractional laser. This is fast, effective, and will help restore youthful texture.
4- SupErficialTM
The final stage is comparable to “polishing” your skin. The treatment removes superficial dead skin cells to reveal brighter, healthier tissue below and provides that noticeable “glow” to your skin. This last step of the treatment can be tailored to the needs of each patient. If needed, we can be more aggressive and go deeper with the skin resurfacing giving you more dramatic results, however this will result in more downtime.
Fotona Ultimate Tightening is a sophisticated and reliable laser treatment that will give you excellent results for an overall approach to the skin of the face, chin, and neck. It targets imperfections of the skin texture, loose skin, sagging face and neck as well as significantly reduces major facial wrinkles. After the procedure you can start to see some immediate results, however the best results develop over the next 6 months as your body manufactures new young collagen that tightens your skin, reduces your wrinkles, and lifts any sagging in the face and neck. The results are on-going progressive subtle changes that are very natural looking. We recommend three treatments a month apart with Fotona Ultimate Tightening with yearly to bi-yearly maintenance treatments to give you long lasting results.
When it’s time for your treatment, your skin will be cleansed and both you and your provider will wear protective eyewear. The entire treatment typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, and you can expect minimal to no discomfort during the treatment.
Fotona Ultimate Tightening is typically considered a “lunchtime procedure” because there is no real downtime. You may have a little bit of redness or swelling that will diminish after a few hours, but usually people resume their activities right after the procedure.
Anyone over 30 years of age can benefit from a series of Fotona Ultimate Tightening treatments. It is safe for all skin types.
Fotona Ultimate Tightening laser treatment targets the skin of the face, chin, and neck regions.
There are no real side effects or risks with Fotona Ultimate Tightening treatments. You will feel some warmth during the treatment, but it is usually well tolerated without any anesthesia. Men may feel a sharp tingling sensation over the areas where there they have a beard. However, topical anesthesia minimizes this discomfort.
For optimum results, we recommend three treatments a month apart with Fotona 4D followed up with yearly to bi-yearly maintenance treatments.
There is no real substitute to Fotona Ultimate Tightening because it targets multiple aspects of the skin on the face and neck. However, Morpheus8 could be an excellent alternative to tighten the skin of the face, chin, and neck, while reducing the appearance of wrinkles in those areas. Microneedling with PRP could be another possibility for some people.
