4D Laser

WHAT IS A 4D Laser TREATMENT?

4D Laser is an minimally invasive, medical-grade facial rejuvenation treatment that uses a combination of four distinct laser modes to target both the exterior skin surface, and the deeper layers of your skin. This multi-dimensional approach allows for comprehensive skin tightening, lifting, brightening, and collagen stimulation. This is all achieved without surgery.

At Cove Aesthetic Clinic (link to homepage), 4D Laser is an ideal choice for individuals who want visible anti-ageing results with minimal downtime. With the rising demand for ‘glass skin,’ which is a trend inspired by dewy, smooth, poreless skin, treatments that deliver both brightness, and firmness in one session have become highly sought after.

4D Laser’s unique ability to address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment makes it the ideal solution for those aiming to achieve glass-like clarity, youthful bounce, and an enviable radiant glow — all while fitting seamlessly into a busy lifestyle.

HOW DOES 4D Laser WORK?

Fotona® 4D Laser facelifting procedure works by treating both the outside of your face and the inside oral cavity (under the cheekbones) to lift your inner middle face. Some improvements might be visible immediately after the treatment and, they will continue to improve over time. You can expect skin elevation, skin tone enhancement, skin elasticity plumping, and loose skin strengthening.

The 4D Laser treatment comprises four synergistic steps, each designed to target different layers, and aspects of the skin:

COMPONENTS	DESCRIPTION
SmoothLifting (Intraoral Tightening)	A gentle laser is applied inside the mouth to stimulate collagen production from within, improving nasolabial folds and overall skin firmness.
FRAC3 (Skin Rejuvenation)	This fractional laser mode targets deeper imperfections such as pigmentation , fine lines and textural irregularities, without affecting the skin surface.
PIANO (Deep Skin Tightening)	Using a longer pulse, PIANO mode delivers bulk heating to the deeper skin layers, enhancing collagen remodelling and tightening sagging skin.
Superficial (Light Peel)	This final step provides a gentle laser peel to refine skin texture, brighten the complexion, and achieve that sought-after ‘glass skin’ effect.

The treatment works by combining these four distinct laser modes into a single comprehensive treatment session. Each mode complements the other, delivering energy to different skin depths to trigger collagen remodelling, improve elasticity, and address surface imperfections.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF 4D Laser TREATMENT?

4D Laser offers multiple benefits, making it one of the most versatile skin rejuvenation treatments available. These benefits include:

Dramatically brightens dull, uneven skin (link to dull & uneven skin page) tone for a luminous glow.
Enhances skin elasticity, and restores superior firmness.
Lifts and tightens sagging skin, creating a more sculpted, youthful look.
Minimally invasive with minimal downtime.
Softens fine lines, smooths wrinkles (link to fine lines & wrinkles page), and fades creases with precision.
Supercharges collagen production, delivering powerful anti-ageing benefits that build over time.
Targets both surface imperfections and deeper skin layers in one advanced, multi-dimensional treatment.
Visibly shrinks pores, and refines uneven texture for glass-like smoothness.

4D laser targets multiple skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of skin laxity.

What issues can 4D Laser treat?

Although 4D laser is suitable for addressing a wide range of skin concerns, it is often recommended to treat:

Dull, tired-looking skin.
Enlarged pores, and rough texture.
Fine lines, and wrinkles.
Mild facial volume loss.
Mild to moderate skin laxity.
Smile lines, and nasolabial folds.
Uneven skin tone, and pigmentation.

Who is an ideal candidate for 4D Laser?

4D Laser is ideal for individuals looking to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall radiance without invasive procedures. You may be a viable candidate if you:

Have mild to moderate skin ageing concerns.
Prefer non-surgical, low-downtime treatments.
Seek a gentle yet effective skin lifting, and rejuvenation procedure.
Want to enhance skin quality before a special event.
Want to improve sagging, fine lines or dullness.

Additionally, 4D Laser may not be suitable for individuals with:

Active skin infections.
Certain skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.
Open wounds or lesions.
Severe acne.

What is the difference between 4D Laser, Pico Laser, and CO2 Fractional Laser?

When exploring laser treatments for skin rejuvenation and improvement, you will come across several options, with each designed to target specific concerns using different technologies. Among the most popular are 4D Laser, Pico Laser, and CO2 Fractional Laser.

Some of the key differences between the three lasers are:

Component	4D Laser	Pico Laser	CO2 Fractional Laser
Focus Area	Overall rejuvenation, skin lifting, tightening, and brightening.	Pigmentation, scars, and texture.	Deep scars, wrinkles, and severe sun damage.
Depth of Treatment	Multi-layered treatment for both superficial and deep layers.	Primarily superficial to mid-dermis.	Targets deeper skin layers, suitable for deep resurfacing.
Laser Components	Combination of: – SmoothLifting (intraoral tightening) – FRAC3 (targeting deep imperfections) – PIANO (bulk heating for tightening) – Superficial (light peel for glow)	Picosecond laser delivers ultra-short pulses to shatter pigmentation and stimulate collagen.	Ablative CO2 laser emits fractional beams that remove columns of skin to trigger regeneration.
Best For	– Skin laxity (mild sagging) – Dull skin – Fine lines & wrinkles – Loss of facial volume (mild)	– Stubborn pigmentation (melasma, freckles) – Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Acne scars (link to acne scars page) – Enlarged pores	– Deep acne scars – Severe wrinkles & fine lines – Rough skin texture – Sun-damaged skin
Effectiveness	High for skin rejuvenation, lifting, and tightening in mild to moderate ageing.	High for pigment clearance and scar improvement, especially on Asian skin.	Very high for severe acne scars, deep wrinkles, and texture refinement, but with longer recovery.
Downtime	Minimal (mild redness for a few hours)	Minimal (mild redness for one to two days)	Moderate to long (peeling, redness for five to seven days or more)

To summarise:

4D Laser – comprehensive facelift-like rejuvenation with collagen boosting, tightening, and brightening.
Pico Laser – targeted pigment, and scar removal with collagen stimulation, ideal for pigmentation-prone skin.
CO2 Fractional Laser – intense resurfacing for severe skin damage, and ageing, requiring longer downtime.

What results can I expect after a 4D Laser treatment?

Following a 4D Laser treatment, you can expect your skin to appear noticeably smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Immediately after the session, your skin may have a healthy glow, with a slightly tighter feel. This is due to the initial collagen contraction, and skin polishing effects from the Superficial laser peel.

Over the following days, and weeks, as your skin heals, and regenerates, you will start to see:

Brighter, more even skin tone — dullness, mild pigmentation, and uneven skin tone improve, leaving you with a fresh, luminous complexion.
Gradual, and natural enhancement – you will notice visible improvements within one to two weeks, with results becoming more pronounced after each session as collagen production ramps up.
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles — creases around the mouth, eyes, and forehead appear softer and less noticeable, with continued collagen remodelling over time.
Refined skin texture — pores appear smaller, and skin feels softer, and more supple.
Tighter, and lifted skin — particularly around the jawline and cheeks, thanks to deep collagen stimulation from the SmoothLifting, and PIANO modes.

With the rise in demand for ‘glass skin,’ 4D laser offers patients a viable solution to achieve youthful, radiant, and lifted skin without taking too much of their time.

Summary

4D Laser is an excellent choice for those seeking a comprehensive, all-in-one skin rejuvenation (link to skin rejuvenation page) treatment that addresses anti-ageing, skin brightening, and textural improvements. By combining targeted laser technology with a multi-dimensional approach, 4D Laser works both on the surface, and deep within the skin to refresh, firm, and revitalise your complexion from every angle.

What are the post-care tips I should follow?

To maximise your results and protect your skin, follow these simple steps:

Apply sunscreen diligently.
Avoid harsh skincare products for at least three to five days.
