Fotona 4D Neck Treatment

Your neck is one of the first places where we start to see signs of aging. Our neck can show aging signs earlier than our face as we tend to ignore this area with products and treatments that are focused solely on the face.

Your neck generally has more lax skin to start with as it needs to move with the motion of the head. Addressing this area can be very beneficial to an overall youthful appearance.

How Does The Fotona 4D Neck Treatment Work?

The Fotona 4D neck treatment works by utilizing the Er:Yag and the Nd:Yag in four different steps to penetrate the skin at different depths to rejuvenate and tighten the neck area.

This dual wavelength approach targets both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, providing comprehensive rejuvenation.

Step 1: Frac3 to address deeper imperfections to target and restore youthful texture and better overall complexion.

Step 2: Piano mode is using a brushing technique for bulk heating to create an overall tightening effect, resulting in more firm and lifted skin.

Step 3: Smooth mode helps with lines and creepiness in the neck area

Step 4: SupErficial is the final step that involves a light laser peel to help the superficial layers of the skin the turnover and trigger new skin growth.

How Many Fotona 4D Neck Treatments Will You Need?

Fotona 4D For The Neck is a series of three laser neck rejuvenation treatments that are generally spaced about 4 weeks apart.

More severe cases may need more treatments. Personal goals and the number of Fotona laser neck treatments will be discussed in your consultation.

What To Do Before Your Treatment

What To Do After Your Treatment

Day of Treatment: Skin will be bright red and feel like moderate sunburn. Begin aftercare products that evening.

Days 2-5: There will be superficial peeling, dryness, and tightness. Use cleansing lotion, ACE Oil, Hydrabalm, and sunscreen that our clinic has provided and reapply as often as needed.

You may resume wearing make-up 24 hours after treatment.

If your skin becomes excessively itchy due to dryness and flakiness, you can apply 1% Hydrocortisone OTC once a day.

An antihistamine, such as Benadryl or Zyrtec, can be taken for any type of heat reaction.

Day 6: May resume normal skin care regimen.

When Will I See Results?

You will see results after each Fotona neck tightening treatment once the skin heals. Maximum results will continue to improve and peak around three to four months after your last treatment.

When Do I Follow Up?

This will vary depending on your skin characteristics and lifestyle. Typically, the neck area needs to be retreated every six to twelve months.
