Fotona 5D takes our most popular non-surgical laser facelift, Fotona 4D®, and adds a fifth dimension: SmoothEye®, a dedicated laser treatment for the eyelids and the skin around the eyes. The eyes are often the first place to show tiredness and ageing, and they are hard to treat well with other non-surgical options. Combining the two in one appointment gives a complete, natural-looking refresh of the whole face at MediSkin in Westerham, Kent, convenient for Sevenoaks, Oxted, Bromley, Beckenham, Tunbridge Wells and South East London.

Fotona 5D® = Fotona 4D® + SmoothEye®
Five steps of laser rejuvenation for the face and the delicate eye area.
1
Step 1: SmoothLifting
Fotona 4D® starts inside the mouth, where Er:YAG laser energy kick-starts collagen tightening around the jawline and perioral region, softening nasolabial folds and smile lines naturally, without filler.
2
Step 2: FRAC3®
Nd:YAG FRAC3® targets deeper imperfections, fine lines and pigmentation to restore a more youthful texture and an even complexion.
3
Step 3: PIANO®
A gentle brushing technique delivers deep, even heat to tighten the skin and lift the lower face and jawline.
4
Step 4: SupErficial™
A light laser peel finishes the face, refining the surface of the skin and leaving an immediate fresh glow.
5
Step 5: SmoothEye®
The non-ablative Fotona SMOOTH® mode is applied to the upper and lower eyelids and the crow’s feet area, tightening crepey, lax skin, softening fine lines and freshening tired-looking eyes with no needles and little to no downtime.
What to expect
A relaxing treatment with natural-looking results that keep improving.
A Fotona 5D appointment takes about 20 minutes longer than a Fotona 4D, so please allow around an hour. Most people feel a gentle warmth during the treatment and can return to normal activities straight away; some mild redness or puffiness around the eyes can last a day or so.
You will notice fresher, tighter skin soon after treatment, with collagen continuing to build over the following 2–3 months. Most clients need a course of 3 to 6 sessions, depending on their needs, which we will assess at your consultation.

FAQs
What is the Fotona 5D facelift?
Fotona 5D combines the four steps of the Fotona 4D® laser facelift (SmoothLifting, FRAC3®, PIANO® and SupErficial™) with SmoothEye®, a non-ablative laser treatment that tightens the eyelids and the skin around the eyes.
Who is Fotona 5D suitable for?
It suits anyone noticing early to moderate skin laxity in the face together with crepey or hooded eyelids, fine lines and crow’s feet, who would like a natural result without surgery, needles or downtime. We will check your suitability at a consultation.
Is SmoothEye safe around the eyes?
Yes. SmoothEye uses Fotona’s gentle SMOOTH® mode, which heats the skin in a controlled way without breaking the surface. Protective eye shields are worn throughout.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need a course of 3 to 6 sessions, depending on their skin and goals. We will assess this and agree a plan with you at your consultation.
Is there any downtime?
Little to none. You may have some redness or mild swelling for a few hours to a day, and you can usually go back to work straight away.
