ScalpLase
ScalpLase is a non-invasive laser therapy treatment designed to promote hair growth and enhance overall scalp health and appearance. The technology works by emitting low energy light to stimulate blood flow in order to activate dormant hair follicles that could potentially produce new hair growth follicles that produce new hair growth follicles – providing safe and effective relief for men and women experiencing hair loss or thinning hair. It provides safe and effective solutions for both males and females experiencing hair loss or thinning hair as it offers safe and effective solutions that are safe and effective solutions compared with conventional medical solutions or laser procedures.
ScalpLase laser treatments may induce the anagen phase to reenter dormant hair follicles in telogen hair follicles and increase duration in anagen phase as well as speed of proliferation for improved density and quality of your locks. Furthermore, this treatment may assist with normalizing physiological regeneration for hair loss disorders like male-pattern baldness or alopecia areata.

HAIRestart
Hair loss can be emotionally and psychologically traumatizing for men and women alike. Luckily, there are non-invasive solutions for hair loss such as Fotona HAIRestart which stimulate dormant follicles to promote thicker and healthier hair growth.
HAIRestart utilizes laser energy to target hair follicles without harming skin or scalp. The laser works to produce a thermal effect within the scalp that causes hair follicles to reenter anagen phase again – creating long-term benefits safe for all skin types with fast, painless treatment requiring no numbing or anesthesia needed for successful results. HAIRestart treatment works best on individuals experiencing early signs of thinning hair due to pattern baldness.
HAIRestart treatments utilize a handpiece with wide-toothed comb-like teeth, pulled through the hair while its laser light emits pulses of infrared wavelength light that targets maximum absorption by your scalp and gently warms follicles to stimulate hair growth without harming the skin or scalp. HAIRestart can be combined with Mesotherapy for even better results and can reverse hair loss while simultaneously encouraging healthier locks.
LipLase
Lips are an iconic feature of our faces, yet as we age they become thinner. This can make them less appealing. Laser lip enhancement provides the safest and least-invasive method to restore natural plumpness to lips – it gives natural-looking results without looking unnatural or plastic.
Laser lip rejuvenation is a non-invasive method that utilizes laser light to stimulate collagen production in lips. This treatment is perfect for people seeking fuller, more shapely lips without going under dermal fillers or injections; additionally it can improve fine lines or asymmetry within them.
Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser penetrates deep within skin layers to increase collagen production, producing naturally fuller lips without resorting to injections. The treatment takes 30 minutes on either the inside or outside lip; post treatment, you may return immediately to regular activities without discomfort or recovery time required.
LipLase treatment is generally safe for most patients; however, those who have been previously affected by cold sores, bleeding disorders or other health conditions may not be appropriate candidates for this therapy. Slight swelling may occur following treatment; this should dissipate within a few hours. After surgery patients should avoid wearing lipstick for at least 24 hours and utilize an SPF 50 lip balm or moisturizer as a form of protection.
NightLase
Snoring and sleep apnea are serious disorders that can put both you and your loved ones’ wellbeing at risk. The noise caused by snoring and sleep apnea can be distressful to all involved; but there’s help available – our non-invasive NightLase laser treatment offers relief from both disruptions and health complications associated with snoring/sleep apnea!
NightLase from Fotona uses its erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:YAG) laser to treat both snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The laser stimulates collagen contraction within your upper airway’s tissues to make them tighter and less likely to relax during sleep, thus decreasing snoring while improving symptoms associated with OSA like fatigue and irritability.
This procedure has been shown to be safe and effective, with results lasting up to one year in some patients. Most report being highly satisfied with their outcomes.
NightLase uses laser energy to warm your soft palate and surrounding tissues without cutting or scarring, creating the sensation of a warm breeze blowing across your skin without burning or discomfort. Treatment sessions usually occur every month or two. For optimal results, three treatment sessions may be needed over three months to get results.
TightSculpting
Fotona Tightsculpting provides an innovative laser treatment option to safely sculpt and tighten loose skin without surgery or downtime, using two wavelength laser systems – 1064nm Nd:YAG and 2940nm Er:YAG to permanently destroy fat deposits while tightening skin strands. This system features permanent fat destruction as well as skin tightening results without surgical incision or downtime.
Tightsculpting begins by employing Nd:YAG laser energy in PIANO pulse mode to heat and shrink fat cells using hyperthermic adipocyte destruction; your body then disposes of these dead fat cells naturally.
Fotona’s Er:YAG laser wavelength in SMOOTH pulse mode heats the superficial layers of skin to help tighten and smooth them while stimulating collagen remodeling, minimizing loose or sagging skin.
Skin tightening and fat reduction treatments can make it easier to tone up and lose weight, though results may only last as long as treated areas remain unchanged; to maintain long-term success it’s essential that a healthy diet and exercise routine be maintained to prevent these results from dissipating over time.
Vein Treatment
Lasers can be an extremely effective means of controlling unwanted hair growth. Fotona’s Dynamis Nd: YAG laser uses pulse control technology with their unique FRAC3 laser treatment system to effectively reduce hair with no harm done to the epidermis layer of skin.
This procedure is quick and relatively pain-free; you will see immediate results after treatment, and can resume regular activities quickly.
Your doctor will apply numbing cream to the area where your catheter will be inserted into an abnormal vein to reduce any discomfort. After placing it into position, you may feel slight pinpricks as the doctor injects numbing medicine around its access point and along its length – such as at its vein access point or length – until finally heat closes it with minimal discomfort, although some people experience what feels like burning sensation during this step of the procedure.
Laser treatment for spider vein removal works at the deeper level of skin, dissolving abnormal blood vessels that contribute to them and then closing and being reabsorbed back into your body, leaving behind unsightly or embarrassing visible spider veins behind. Unlike sclerotherapy, this procedure is safe for virtually every skin type and can treat large areas which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to treat alone; additionally, outpatient procedures may require compression stockings post procedure.
