Question 7

What is the Fotona 4D laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Fotona 4D is a non-invasive laser treatment using two wavelengths and four modes: SmoothLiftin (intraoral tightening around nasolabial folds and mouth), FRAC3 (targets superficial skin imperfections), PIANO (deep collagen stimulation and skin tightening), and SupErficial (resurfacing peel that reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size). No downtime. Most patients see improvement after just one treatment.

Question 8

How do I prepare for Fotona 4D laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Avoid sun exposure that changes your baseline skin color for 4-6 weeks before treatment. No chemical peels or deep exfoliation within 4 weeks. Stop Retin-A, retinols, glycolic, salicylic, and alpha hydroxy acids 5-7 days prior. Wait 2-4 weeks after injections or other laser treatments. Inform ANSO of any prescription medications or history of cold sores.

Question 9

Avoid sun exposure that changes your baseline skin color for 4-6 weeks before your appointment. No chemical peels or deep exfoliation within 4 weeks. Stop Retin-A, retinols, glycolic, salicylic, and alpha hydroxy acids 5-7 days prior. Inform ANSO of any prescription or OTC medications.

Question 10

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

For most people, laser hair removal at ANSO does not hurt. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to snapping a rubber band against the skin. Those with higher sensitivity may experience minor discomfort. Proper beforecare and aftercare reduce discomfort significantly.

Question 11

What laser device does ANSO use for hair removal?

Accepted Answer

ANSO uses an FDA-approved 808 wavelength diode laser for hair removal. It can be adjusted for your specific skin type and color for maximum efficiency, and targets only the hair follicle, leaving surrounding skin untouched.

Question 12

Who is a good candidate for laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal at ANSO is suitable for men and women over 18. The 808 diode laser works for all skin types (Fitzpatrick 1-5, and is safe but less optimal on type 6). It is most effective on dark hair. It is not suitable for treating areas with tattoos.

Question 13

How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

Multiple sessions are required because laser only affects follicles in the active growth (anagen) phase, which is 20-40% of hair at any time. Most clients achieve over 75% hair reduction with a full course of treatment.
