If you're noticing sagging skin, fine lines, or volume loss in your face—but aren’t ready to go under the knife—you're not alone. As a physician specializing in regenerative aesthetics, I’ve seen a major shift in the last few years: more patients in St. Louis are searching for non-invasive, natural alternatives to traditional facelifts. Enter Fotona4D—a game-changing laser procedure that tightens, lifts, and rejuvenates the skin from the inside out.
At Sheen Vein & Cosmetics, we’ve helped countless patients restore their youthful appearance using Fotona4D laser technology, and the results speak for themselves—natural-looking, no-downtime rejuvenation that addresses both skin laxity and deep structural changes in the face.
Fotona4D is a multi-dimensional, non-surgical facelift that uses four distinct laser modes to target different layers of the skin, including deep tissue, collagen fibers, and even the inside of the oral cavity. Unlike traditional facelifts that require incisions, general anesthesia, and weeks of recovery, Fotona4D is completely non-invasive.
This powerful protocol uses two complementary laser wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) to deliver a synergistic effect on skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and textural renewal.
Each session involves four unique modes, each named for its specific action:
This step involves delivering laser energy inside the mouth to target the nasolabial folds (smile lines) and mid-face volume loss. Think of it as a “laser filler”—it stimulates collagen in areas that lose volume with age but does so naturally, without injectables.
✅ Great for softening deep lines from the inside out
✅ Improves cheek volume and lifts the lower face
This fractional Nd:YAG treatment targets deeper imperfections in the skin such as pigmentation, redness, and vascular irregularities. It enhances overall tone and texture while also tightening skin around the eyes and forehead.
✅ Improves tone, reduces pigmentation
✅ Targets vascular irregularities and deep dermal aging
PIANO mode delivers deep, uniform heating to stimulate collagen and tighten sagging skin without harming the surface. It’s one of the safest and most comfortable ways to remodel collagen.
✅ Deep tissue heating for full-face tightening
✅ Perfect for jawline and neck definition
The final step is a light laser peel that improves skin smoothness, reduces pore size, and creates a youthful glow. It’s the finishing touch that polishes your skin and removes dull outer layers.
✅ Smooths and brightens the surface
✅ No downtime, no flaking
If you’re in your 30s to 60s and are experiencing:
…then you’re likely an excellent candidate.
Fotona4D is especially beneficial for patients in their 40s and 50s looking to delay the need for surgical interventions. It’s safe for all skin types and tones and can be performed year-round—even during sunny St. Louis summers.
Unlike thread lifts, fillers, or surgical facelifts, Fotona4D stimulates your body’s own collagen production—meaning your results are natural, progressive, and long-lasting. Most patients see visible improvement within 2–3 weeks of the first session, with full results developing over 3–6 months.
We typically recommend a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart, followed by annual maintenance to keep your collagen fresh and skin firm.
📍Local Results: Patients throughout St. Louis—whether from Kirkwood, Chesterfield, or Clayton—have noticed:
As a practice deeply rooted in regenerative medicine, we love therapies that harness the body’s healing mechanisms—without drugs, needles, or surgery. Fotona4D is the epitome of that philosophy.
Here’s why our St. Louis patients prefer it:
A typical treatment takes about 45–60 minutes. There’s no need for anesthesia or numbing cream (though we can use it for extra comfort). You may feel a warming sensation or mild snapping in certain areas, especially during the deeper FRAC3 and PIANO steps.
After your session, your skin may appear slightly pink, similar to a light sunburn. This usually resolves in a few hours. Most of our St. Louis patients return to work or normal activities the same day.
