Quick answer
A technology-based lift treats facial skin laxity without incisions, using the Fotona laser. It is an adaptation of Fotona's 4D protocol in which I apply somewhat stronger energy to create skin retraction and a lifting effect, also with collagen stimulation in mind. The procedure has no downtime: most people return to their routine the same day. The number of sessions is defined at the evaluation, and results vary from person to person.
Who it is for
- I feel like my face is melting with time.
- I've lost firmness and definition, but I don't want surgery.
- I want to prevent skin laxity and avoid surgery in the future.
- I want to age quietly, without looking like I've had something done.
How I do it
Lifting the skin in a minimally invasive way is the central goal of a technology-based lift. The feeling that your face is melting usually comes from skin laxity and loss of skin support, and today this process can be treated without a scalpel, while preserving the natural look of the face. It is a repositioning of the face with a laser, not with incisions.
The technology-based lift I perform is an adaptation of the 4D protocol of Fotona, a laser platform for rejuvenation. In it, I apply somewhat stronger energy to create skin retraction and a lifting effect to treat laxity, also with collagen stimulation in mind. It is an interesting option for people who want to treat or prevent laxity and avoid surgery in the future. And there is no downtime: most people return to their routine the same day.
At the consultation, I assess the degree of laxity and the quality of your skin, and I define the number of sessions and the interval between them. When the case calls for it, other treatments, such as the soft lift threads or collagen biostimulators, can complement the plan, and this is also decided at the evaluation. The goal is to age quietly, with a firmer face that is still yours.
Cases
Technology-based lifting
- Indication
- Laxity and a less defined facial contour.
- What can happen
- Temporary redness and sensitivity. Results are individual.
Cases published for educational purposes, in accordance with Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) Resolution 2,336/2023. Results vary and depend on individual assessment.
What can happen
After the session, there may be mild, temporary redness and tenderness of the skin. As with any laser treatment, sun protection is part of the care, and the technology requires proper protocols and training to be used safely. Results vary from person to person. For more advanced laxity, with a lot of excess skin, surgery may be the most appropriate option, and this is discussed openly at the consultation.
Frequently asked questions
What is a technology-based lift?
It is the treatment of facial skin laxity without incisions, using the Fotona laser. I use an adaptation of Fotona's 4D protocol, with somewhat stronger energy, to create skin retraction and a lifting effect in a minimally invasive way, also with collagen stimulation in mind.
Does a technology-based lift have downtime?
No. The technology-based lift with the Fotona laser has no downtime, and most people return to their routine the same day, sometimes with mild, temporary redness. Other technologies, such as the CO2 laser, have their own indications and a recovery of about 7 days, and they are not part of the technology-based lift.
How long does it take to see results from a technology-based lift?
The protocol creates skin retraction with a lifting effect and is also designed with collagen stimulation in mind, which happens gradually. How much improvement appears, and when, varies from person to person, and the number of sessions and the interval between them are defined at the evaluation.
Can a technology-based lift replace surgery?
Not in every case. It is indicated for mild to moderate laxity and for people who want to prevent laxity without incisions. When there is a lot of excess skin, the laser has a limited effect and surgery may be the most appropriate option. This is discussed openly at the consultation.
