Fotona Jowl Lifting (Add on only)

WHAT TREATMENT IS THIS?

Fotona Jowl Lifting is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes advanced laser technology to lift and tighten sagging skin in the jowl area. This procedure targets the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which helps to reduce sagging and enhances the overall contour of the jawline, providing a more defined, youthful appearance without surgery.

BENEFITS

• Lifts and Firms the Jowl Area: Achieves noticeable lifting and firming of the jowls, improving skin tightness and reducing sagging.
• Improves Jawline Definition: Enhances the contour of the jawline by tightening the skin and reducing sagging.
• Non-Surgical: Provides lifting effects without the need for invasive procedures or surgery.

TREATMENT PLAN

For best results, treatments should be scheduled every 1.5 to 2 months. The number of sessions will be tailored to your individual needs, and maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain long-term results.

RECOVERY TIME

Recovery varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Some individuals may experience minimal downtime of 3-7 days, while others may need a shorter recovery period, with most able to resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

• Stand-Alone Treatment: Fotona Jowl Lifting can be performed independently to target the jowls specifically.
• Comprehensive Rejuvenation: It can also be included as part of a full-face rejuvenation session for broader skin tightening and anti-aging benefits.

HOW COMFORTABLE IS THIS TREATMENT?

The treatment is generally well-tolerated with mild discomfort due to the heat generated by the laser. Your clinician will adjust the settings to ensure the highest level of comfort during the procedure.

ANY RISKS?

• Mild Redness or Swelling: Some clients may experience temporary redness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days.
• Minimal Risk of Bruising or Tenderness: In rare cases, there may be mild tenderness or minor bruising in the treated area, but this is temporary.
