Fotona 4D - Walnut Creek, CA

This is a newer laser procedure that smooths, plumps and tightens. Instead of fillers I opted to try the Fotana 4D treatment to plump my nasiolabial folds. The Fotana 4D uses 4 different lasers, thus giving me plumped up nasiolabial folds, fresher looking skin and a reduction in my wrinkles. The initial laser is intraoral. It is used in the oral cavity around the inside or your mouth/cheeks. It gave me the volume and plumped up the nasiolabial folds. The following 3 lasers are for the exterior of your face. No pain whatsoever. Surprisingly, very quick. I was not sure what to expect so I did request a very light treatment. I am pleased with the initial result. The entire procedure felt warm. No pain. No icing. I walked out clear faced. Only on day 2 did I have redness on my cheeks and orbital bone. Enough for me to stay in. The next day, day 3 the redness gone. Again, I requested a very light treatment. The end of the treatment is done with one of the resurfacing lasers so make sure you talk to your Doctor about the procedure and what to expect. It is suggested that a person have a Fotana 4D treatment for every decade in years you are. Spaced every 4 weeks to get the best results. Although its been a few months for me, I decide to continue with a few more sessions so I can get the optimal results. It is important to note Dr. M. Christine Lee helped invent the procedure and is the very first Doctor to introduce it to the U.S. She has the most experience with this procedure I am sure. I also know Dr. Lee teachers and lectures about the procedure regularly. Finding a doctor for the Fotana 4D procedure other than Dr. Lee may be difficult until other doctors are well trained.
