Fotona General FAQ
What machine do you use for Fotona treatments?
Fotona SP Dynamis Pro is an Ultra-Performance, Award-Winning Multi-Application Laser System. It is considered the Rolls Royce of Lasers and offers impressive, non-invasive treatments, other lasers can’t deliver.
Fotona 4D Facelift
How many sessions will I need for the Fotona 4D Facelift?
Fotona recommends 1 treatment for every decade of life. For example, if you’re 50, you would probably need 5 sessions for optimal results. However, a lot of clients see great results with just 3 sessions. Most people see a noticeable difference after the first treatment.
Maintenance: Once or twice a year depending on age and desired results.
How often/frequently can I get treatment?
Sessions should be every 30 days…and no, you can not get another session before 30 days because you would interrupt your body’s process of producing new collagen (neocollagenesis).
How much down time will I need?
Downtime varies between 0-10 days. The last step of the 4D Facelift is a laser peel, that can be as mild or as ablative as you want/need.
If we use the ultralight peel, it will require no downtime, as you will be able to hide any redness/light healing marks with makeup. however, if we use a more ablative setting (for clients with more textured skin) your recovery time could be up to ten days.
What does the recovery process look like?
If we use a more ablative setting in the final step of the 4D facelift, the recovery typically looks like this:
-Beginning: visual redness & sensation of sunburn
-Middle: visual scabbing in order to heal
-End: peeling of scabbing, new skin emerges
Fotona LipLase
Why is LipLase a better treatment to achieve fuller lips than injectables (i.e fillers & botox)?
Does LipLase cause unnatural looking results such as “duck lips”?
No! The appearance of “duck lips” is the result of over-filling lips or filler migrating to areas outside of the desired region of the lips. Luckily, LipLase is a non-invasive treatment, this means no artificial products are being injected into your body so it is not possible to get “duck lips” from LipLase. Instead, LipLase promotes the collagen growth of the collagen that your body naturally has already.
What issues does LipLase target?
LipLase targets and treats the following issues caused by aging to promote an overall healthier and younger lip (both in appearance and in your overall health):
If LipLase targets the issue of collagen loss, then is it only effective for someone older with more significant collagen loss?
Not at all. LipLase is effective for all ages and noticeable differences have been seen in all of our customers across all ages. We have many repeat customers icome in for LipLase ranging from early 20s to late 80s!
Can LipLase help fix my blurred vermillion border?
Yes, LipLase is particularly good at addressing coloring issues such as a blurred vermillion border by improving contouring definition, and enhancing color and vibrance. A blurred vermillion border is when the border of the lips looses pigmentation, leaving the appearance of a blurred line between the lip and face. This can be caused due to volume loss and fine lines from aging, as well as sun exposure.
Because LipLase promotes collagen growth, it helps restore the loss in collagen on the entire lip (including the border) which redefines the lip line.
How many sessions will I need for the LipLase and how often can I get treatment?
You’ll see a noticeable difference on the first treatment; however, we recommend 3 to 6 sessions depending on how much volume you want.
Maintenance: Once or twice a year depending on age and desired volume.
How often can I get LipLase?
Sessions should be every 30 days…and no, you can not get another session before 30 days because you would interrupt your body’s process of producing new collagen (neocollagenesis).
Fotona Smooth Eye Treatment
How many sessions will I need for Smooth Eye Treatment?
Fotona recommends 1 treatment for every decade of life. For example, if you’re 50, you would probably need 5 sessions for optimal results. However, a lot of clients see great results with just 3 sessions. Most people see a noticeable difference after the first treatment.
Maintenance: Once or twice a year depending on age and desired results.
How often can I get treatment?
Sessions should be every 30 days…and no, you can not get another session before 30 days because you would interrupt your body’s process of producing new collagen (neocollagenesis).
Does it hurt?
We numb our patients for 30 minutes before treatment to ensure that your experience is pain free. Additionally, we lubricate the surface of the treatment area throughout to maximize comfort and monitor patients throughout the procedure to ensure that you have a pain-free experience!

Why do you not offer cool sculpting?
At Bare, our primary focus is on providing safe treatments that promote a healthy approach to beauty. We prioritize the well-being of our patients above all else. There have been multiple instances where patients have experienced body disfigurement with Coolsculpting, which is why we consider it unsafe and high-risk. While this procedure is meant to reduce fat, it can sometimes have the opposite effect, causing fat to grow, harden, and become stuck or “lodged”. We only offer services and procedures that we are completely confident are safe and effective.
Instead of Coolsculpting, we provide an alternative treatment called L-Sculpt. It is a non-invasive treatment that focuses on muscle strengthening and toning. In just 30 minutes, it can deliver the equivalent of 20,000 squats or sit ups. Scientific studies have proven that L-Sculpt can reduce fat by up to 16% and increase muscle mass by up to 19%!
What makes L-Sculpting a better approach than cool sculpting?
Unlike Coolsculpting, L-Sculpting does not pull, tug, numb, or bruise areas during treatment. Additionally, Cool-Sculpting can only target areas of fat that are “pinchable” and can be vacuumed into an applicator. In contrast, L-Sculpting is able to target all areas of fat. How? It utilizes high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to induce strong muscle contractions, primarily in the abdominal and buttocks areas, building and toning muscles. Scientific studies have proven that it can reduce fat by up to 16% and increase muscle mass by up to 19%. The results are impressive, and most importantly, the treatment is safe!
