Fotolift

Fotolift is one of the newest laser treatments available today.  According to physicians, Fotolift is the best nonsurgical facelift or skin tightening "no downtime" laser treatment modalities on the market.

There are a wide variety of medical lasers and light systems now available to rejuvenate the skin. Some lasers, however, are not effective for certain skin types. With the FotoLift, however, all patients (regardless of skin type) who wish to rejuvenate their skin can  have this treatment.  The Fotolift can benefit many different types of people with many different types of ethnic backgrounds. The FotoLift Polaris is state of the art treatment for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction.  The innovative Fotolift treatment is most commonly used for the facial and neck non-ablative (not shedding skin) rejuvenation. Because you are not shedding any skin, unlike laser resurfacing, you can have treatment with Polaris and be back at work the same day. The energy is focused beneath the skin surface which minimizes the risk of visible skin injury.  Thus, it is considered a (no downtime) non-ablative laser treatment. The Syneron Fotolift device was named the best anti-aging treatment of 2004 by New York Magazine!

FotoLift treatment sessions are usually not painful, and do not require local anesthetic.  Most physicians, however, do recommend using topical anesthetic cream. Most physicians recommend five treatments.  You will begin to see results in the mirror after 3 sessions, with each treatment having a higher energy level to increasingly stimulate collagen growth.

From a medical point of view, Polaris is actually a combination of a 900nm Diode laser and bipolar radiofrequency (ELOS). This requires overall lower energy levels for superior results with maximum safety and comfort. The heating of the Polaris produces results at both the epidermal and deep dermal levels. Energy is sent precisely and effectively to the treatment zone. Light (laser energy) creates higher temperatures in the epidermis, treating fine wrinkles at the surface, while the combination of light and RF penetrates deep into the dermis to treat deeper wrinkles.

Remember, it generally takes up to five treatments to achieve the maximum effect. FotoLift creates skin tightening and wrinkle reduction through stimulation and production of your own body’s collagen. The full benefits of treatment can take 6-12 months to become apparent. The new collagen that is formed is permanent, unlike injected collagen, but is subject to natural deterioration with continued aging.  Maintenance treatments are usually recommended every 6 - 12 months.

Even though Polaris Fotolift treatments are mainly used for the face and neck, they are not limited to these areas.  FotoBody can be used for problem areas on other parts of the body, like sun damaged or aging skin of the chest, hands, legs and forearms.  The FotoFacial (and FotoBody) treats age spots, freckles, and other pigmented blemishes and helps restore youthful glow, radiance and smoothness to the complexion. The FotoLift firms, tones and tightens the skin -- this can be used on many areas of your body.
