Fotona 3D Calgary
Fotona 3D is a combination laser treatment that uses three distinct laser modes, Smoothliftin, Piano and Frac3, to address multiple layers of the skin in a single session. This layered approach stimulates collagen remodeling at different depths, targeting skin laxity, texture irregularities and pigmentation concerns on the face and neck.
Because every patient's skin, concerns and goals are different, Fotona 3D at our Dermapure Chaparral clinic always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether Fotona 3D is the most appropriate option for your skin and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation. Book your personalized consultation with our team.
Smoothliftin
A pulse of laser light, known as Smooth Mode, is delivered by the Smoothliftin laser at low speeds to safely be performed inside the mouth. The beam is aimed at the mucosa membrane inside the mouth to target the underlying tissues of the inner cheeks. The controlled thermal effect produces a wound-healing response and the stimulation of collagen remodelling.
The treatment has also proven effective for mild to moderate perioral wrinkles, better known as lip lines.
Piano
Piano causes bulk tissue heating by concentrating the energy delivery subcutaneously. It uses a unique super-extended seconds pulse and a brushing technique to complete full-thickness bulk heating to the dermis while sparing unnecessary thermal damage to the epidermis. It is also indicated for the promotion of wound healing and scar prevention.
Frac3
What makes Frac3 unique is that it creates a self-induced 3-D fractional effect, which is localized to pre-existing skin damage. A Frac3 beam is whole upon delivery to the skin and is fractionated by the skin’s imperfections as it proceeds toward the subcutaneous tissue. As a result, the tissue is treated only where required.
