The Fotona TimeWalker is a specialized, compact dual-wavelength (1064nm Nd:YAG + 2940nm Er:YAG) laser designed specifically for facial aesthetic procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fotona4D?
Fotona4D is a 4-step non-invasive facelift protocol. Step 1 (SmoothLiftin) is intraoral — treating the inside of the mouth with Er:YAG to plump the nasolabial folds from the inside out. Step 2 (FRAC3) uses Nd:YAG for deep dermal rejuvenation. Step 3 (PIANO) uses ultra-long Nd:YAG pulses for deep bulk tissue heating/tightening. Step 4 (SupErficial) is a light Er:YAG peel for surface polish.
