What is Fotona?
Fotona is a minimally invasive laser treatment for facial tightening and volume, without injectables. At Rejuvenate we use the Fotona SP Dynamis Pro, a European platform that combines two laser wavelengths, Er:YAG and Nd:YAG, so one system can work from gentle surface resurfacing to deep collagen remodeling.
What it treats
- Face: skin tightening, non-surgical face lifting and laser eyebrow lifting
- Lips: fuller-looking lips without injectables
- Skin: scars and acne scars
- Removal: tattoos and permanent makeup
- Body: cellulite and laser hair removal
- Medical care: anti-inflammatory treatment, wound healing and pain reduction, hair growth stimulation

How it works
Every Fotona treatment starts with a medical evaluation. The doctor looks at your skin and your goals, then chooses the protocol and settings that fit you. Session time, number of sessions and recovery depend on the protocol, and we explain all of it before you decide.
For skin resurfacing, the Er:YAG laser can work in fractional mode, creating tiny channels in a small part of the skin so it heals with less downtime, or in full-field mode, removing thin layers of aged skin for strong results in fewer sessions, with longer downtime. A personalized plan is usually 1 to 4 sessions. You may see some improvement after the first one, and full results develop gradually over the following months.
Comfort and recovery
- Fotona 4D® facial rejuvenation: usually only mild discomfort. The peeling step can feel more intense.
- Deeper resurfacing or peeling: needs more recovery. Expect 3 to 4 days of redness and swelling, followed by another 3 to 4 days of peeling. Some redness can last 1 to 4 weeks, but that does not mean you need rest for all that time.
