While signs of skin ageing are a natural part of life, there are ways to support your skin’s long-term health.
Practices like daily sun protection and a consistent skincare routine are often recommended by clinicians to help maintain skin quality over time.
For individuals exploring additional options, laser treatments such as Fotona 5D may be discussed during consultation. These treatments are not a replacement for good skincare habits but may be considered based on your skin goals and clinical assessment.
What is the Fotona 5D?
If you’ve ever seen Kim Kardashian’s post about a certain anti-ageing laser treatment, you might have already come across the Fotona 4D.
Well, the Fotona 5D is just like Fotona 4D – but made better. It’s designed with a special focus towards the aesthetic needs of our clients at Luxe Lips – from treating nasolabial folds (smile lines) to increasing collagen production.
The Fotona 5D Laser Treatment is a non-surgical face lifting procedure that aims to holistically combat facial ageing from the inside out. It’s a powerhouse laser technology designed to help with various skin problems, both on the surface level and deeper down the skin.
This treatment uses controlled heat delivered through laser technology to target deeper layers of the skin. This process may stimulate collagen production, which could support skin structure over time. Your practitioner will assess your skin and discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for your goals.
What’s amazing is that the Fotona 5D is not only for the face, but it also treats the neck, too. Remember, treating ageing signs on your neck is just as important as taking care of your face. Even if your face looks youthful, an ageing neck will not balance out your overall glow.
How Does the Fotona 5D Work?
From the name itself, the Fotona 5D Laser Treatment consists of five (5) steps to rejuvenate all skin layers.
Step 1: Intraoral Tightening
During the treatment, your healthcare provider may access areas inside the mouth to reach deeper tissues that can contribute to skin firmness. This technique targets regions such as the marionette lines and nasolabial folds — areas that may not always respond predictably to volume-based treatments.
Because excessive volume in these regions can sometimes appear puffy, laser treatments like Fotona 5D are sometimes considered as part of a combined approach. When clinically appropriate, it may complement other treatments that address volume loss or expression lines. Your practitioner will guide you on the best options based on your anatomy and treatment goals.

Step 2: Skin Rejuvenation
The next step is to improve skin tone, texture, and redness. Your medical professional focuses specifically on addressing these deeper skin concerns, aiming to restore a youthful texture and create an even complexion.

Step 3: Deep Skin Tightening
In this step, your medical professional uses a brushing technique with the laser to gently heat up the deeper layers of your skin slowly and steadily. This process creates an overall tightening effect.
Additionally, this step also involves tightening the neck. Treating the neck is harder because there’s not much support from bones or structures underneath. That’s why it’s smart to slow down an ageing neck early on through a comprehensive laser treatment.
Remember, when you work on your face, start thinking about your neck, too. It’s a tricky area to deal with, especially if it’s not treated early on.

Step 4: Surface-level Skin Tightening
It’s important to focus on tightening both the deeper and surface structures of the skin. If the top skin isn’t elastic and tight, the firmness in the deeper layers won’t show on the outside.
By tightening the surface of your skin, you can achieve a more glowy and youthful look.
Like Step 3, this also involves treating the neck.

Step 5: Light Peel
This final step resurfaces the top layer of the skin by replacing old cells with new ones. This adds the final touch to your treatment, giving you that extra special glow.

How Long Will It Take To See Results?
Results vary from each individual. But generally, patients see results immediately, with the full effect taking place gradually over a period of 2-3 months.
Is There Downtime After The Procedure?
No. This procedure is non-surgical and non-invasive, utilizing a non-ablative laser. This special type of laser penetrates deep into your skin without causing any harm to its surface. This allows patients to resume their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.
