FOTONA 4D® LASER FACELIFT
Non-surgical facelift
Non-Invasive Laser Facelift
The FOTONA 4D is an innovative, non-invasive, non-surgical face lifting procedure that creates a rejuvenated, fresh and natural looking appearance without downtime.
The 4-Dimensional procedure treats deep wrinkles, loss of elasticity, sagging, sun damage, and dull skin texture, due to aging. Because you are unique, the doctor can make minor procedure adjustments for jaw contouring, eye wrinkles, neck tightening and deeper resurfacing. Note: some adjustments require additional fees.
Results increase over 2 to 3 months and with each additional treatment. We recommend scheduling treatments every 3 to 4 weeks. The number of treatments depends on age and skin condition. In general, we recommend:
Age 25 to 35 – Three (3) Treatments (Excellent Preventive Aging Treatment)
Age 36 to 45 – Four (4) Treatments
Age 46 to 55 – Five (5) Treatments
Age 56 to 65 – Six (6) Treatments
Age 66 to 75 – Seven (7) Treatments
To maintain your results, we recommend one additional treatment every year.
Fotona 4D Laser Treatment
The Beauty of the Fotona 4D Procedure is how it combines four (4) rejuvenation protocols into one synergistic, face-lifting procedure.
- Step 1 – Deep collagen stimulation around the mouth and Inter-oral tightening. Diminishes the nasal labial fold.
- Step 2 – Deep heating and collagen stimulation (plumping) of cheeks – Plumps the cheeks.
- Step 3 – Vector lift to strengthen tendon attachment to facial landmarks. Prevents and reduces sagging skin.
- Step 4 – Light Peel to treat superficial skin defects and brighten skin.
Treatment Preparation
You will get the biggest bang for your buck (procedure investment) if you begin with healthy well-hydrated skin. All procedures achieve greater results from healthy skin. Our laser works best on well hydrated skin. Avoid alcohol. Drink plenty of fluids. We will measure your moisture prior to the treatment, if less than 35% we may perform a hydration treatment for an additional fee or delay the treatment.
Starting two weeks prior to your treatment, we suggest using Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar after cleansing your face followed by moisturizer. Please consider the Alastin Procedure Enhancement System. It is specifically designed to enhance procedure results and accelerate recovery.
In addition, moisturize at least twice a day with a product containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides. Wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water.
Aftercare
Immediately after your Fotona 4D Treatment your skin may be pink and slightly irritated. Hydrate and have a snack. No heavy exercise. Apply sunscreen and stay out of the sun. No Make up on the first day. If desired, you may apply additional Skin Nectar followed by a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid and ceramides.
During the week after treatment use Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar after cleansing your face followed by moisturizer.
NOTE: The following ingredients may irritate the skin and should be avoided for at least one week: AHA, Aloe Vera, alcohol, ascorbic acid, astringent, essential oils, exfoliants, fragrance, glycolic acid, lactic acid, retinol, salicylic acid, toner, tranexamic acid, and Vitamin C.
After the first week switch to Alastin Restorative Skin Complex followed by moisturizer and mineral based sunscreen.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Medical Laser & Aesthetics in Huntington Beach, and I am beyond impressed with the care and expertise I received. Initially, I sought treatment for the bags under my eyes, but after a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Nelhs Betancourt, we developed a treatment plan that addressed my concerns more effectively than I had anticipated.
Dr. Betancourt’s credentials are truly remarkable. He is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine specialist with a Master’s Degree in Preventative Medicine. Additionally, he is a Board-Certified Toxicologist and board eligible in Laser Surgery. His extensive background includes certifications from the American Board of Internal Medicine, the American Board of Toxicology, and the American Board of Independent Medical Evaluators, among others.
During my consultation, Dr. Betancourt utilized state-of-the-art 3D imaging and face-scanning technology, which provided an in-depth analysis of my skin’s condition. This advanced approach allowed for a tailored treatment plan that went beyond my initial concerns.
The results have been nothing short of amazing. A discoloration on the side of my face from sun damage has completely disappeared, a benefit I hadn’t expected. Both my wife and I are thrilled with the outcome, and she even suggested I consider additional treatments – a testament to the noticeable improvement.
Throughout the process, Dr. Betancourt and his team were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely.
