Where it lands
The Fotona TimeWalker is not a treatment but a platform: two laser types in one cabinet, with which fifteen different treatments can be done. What you get depends on the setting, the pulse and the area, and that makes the difference between a light peel and a complete facial. Fotona 4D is the best known of them: four treatments in one session, from the inside through the cheek to a closing peel. Below is which ones there are and what each is meant for.

- EpidermisWhere your pigment sits and where new skin cells come from.It works here
- Upper dermisThis is where the connective tissue starts. What you reach here heals by building.It works here
- Deep dermisHair roots, vessels and the firmness of your skin. Working this deep needs a reason.It works here

What happens,
in order.
Every treatment starts with cleansing, and that is done by hand. Make-up and sebum come off and the therapist checks that everything is gone, because a device or an active ingredient that works on a layer never reaches your skin.
Establishing what you have
4D, VectorLift, SmoothEye and LipLase we do with the same device. Which one suits you is chosen by the therapist.
Layer by layer
With the 4D the work is done in several passes, each at a different depth.
Warm and red
From a few hours to a few days, depending on which treatment you had.
Fotona TimeWalker, during the treatment
What you notice in the chair
You are given protective goggles and they stay on for the whole treatment. What you feel depends on the mode: in the heating mode it is a rising warmth that stops just short of uncomfortable, in the other, short taps.
During the session the therapist asks how warm it feels. With your answer she adjusts the device.
Afterwards you are usually red and warm, as though you had sat too long in the sun. That fades within a few hours to a day.
What this treatment is meant for
On the left where this treatment works well, on the right when another treatment does more for you.
- Works in several directions: from the inside via the mouth and from the outside on the skin
- Has its own treatment per area, from eye contour to lips to the whole face
- Possible without needles and without cutting
- For skin that has let go, surgery is the answer
- How much your skin builds differs per person, so we record the course of it
- Fotona is the device; which treatment suits it is decided by the therapist

Frequently asked questions
Why do the prices vary so much?
Because they are not prices for one treatment but for several. A laser peel is something other than a full 4D, and that is listed separately per line.
How many sessions do I need?
You hear that after the measurement. The number depends on your skin and on the area, and the therapist establishes that then.
How long does an appointment take?
Allow 60 minutes at the clinic. That is the time reserved for you in the calendar, including the cleansing beforehand.
How much recovery time do I need?
From a few hours red to a few days, depending on the treatment.
How often do I need to come?
Separately or as a course of three, with four to six weeks in between.
