Laser hair removal is a fast, safe, and relatively pain-free solution to unwanted body hair. You can use it anywhere on the body; especially helpful for people with darker skin as regular lasers have the risk of burning dark melanin pigmentation.
Fotona’s high-performance Nd:YAG laser systems equipped with FRAC3 technology set new standards of safety and efficiency in hair reduction treatments, making them suitable for other aesthetic treatments as well.
What is the Fotona Laser?
Fotona laser treatments provide non-invasive solutions to various beauty concerns, from skin resurfacing and rejuvenation, facial veins & vascular lesions removal, pigmented lesions & tattoo removal and permanent hair reduction to permanent hair reduction. Fotona utilizes Nd:YAG and Er:YAG laser wavelengths for safe yet effective results and offers four unique laser treatment modes that work layer by layer of tissue to deliver visible results.
Fotona Stretch Mark Removal
Laser stretch mark removal is an efficient, non-invasive procedure performed using the Fotona PS03 handpiece and moved over your skin in a crosshatch pattern. Heat energy from the laser’s heat beam transfers directly into the dermis where it destroys damaged tissue while stimulating new collagen growth in surrounding areas – ultimately smoothing out skin texture and tone with each session at two-week intervals until you see an overall difference in stretch marks and overall appearance. Taking between 8-12 sessions of Fotona Stretch Mark Removal to experience lasting results is well worth every bit of discomfort associated with these treatments!
Promoting Hair Growth
Fotona’s laser technology can assist both men and women who are experiencing hair thinning due to male pattern baldness or alopecia by stimulating your follicles into producing thicker locks while preventing further loss. In most cases, patients only require four consecutive treatment sessions for optimal results.
Fotona Skin Tightening uses an Nd:Yag laser in PIANO mode to heat deep facial tissues, which causes their water content to decrease, leading to fat reduction. Furthermore, heat stimulates collagen production while tightening skin for anti-ageing by lifting cheek and jowl areas of the face.
How Does the Fotona Laser Work?
Fotona is a non-invasive laser treatment that works to tighten, resurface and light laser peel skin. Utilizing two complementary superior laser wavelengths for maximum clinical results. Safe for all skin types; with quick painless results that produce natural-looking outcomes.
Fotona SP Dynamis utilizes Nd:YAG and Er:YAG technology for optimal results, offering three modes that can be tailored specifically to each patient’s individual needs – FRAC3, Piano Mode and Superficial Laser Peel.
Fotona’s SP Dynamis FRAC3 Mode uses Nd:YAG laser energy to treat deep imperfections and pigments on the skin’s surface, such as pores, wrinkles and discolorations. This helps minimise pores, reduce wrinkles and provide an overall uniform complexion while stimulating collagen production for firming up from within out.
Fotona’s SP Dynamis’ Piano Mode applies Nd:YAG laser energy directly onto skin using a hand piece in a painterly motion. This triggers selective photothermolysis, which increases cell activity in treated areas while stimulating collagen production for tighter, more supple skin even after just one session! This results in visible signs of improvement even from one treatment session alone!
Fotona laser treatments include a light laser peel to gently exfoliate away dead skin cells and brighten your complexion, leaving only minimal redness and swelling afterwards. After your treatment it is advised to apply sunscreen as this treatment could leave your skin susceptible to sun damage; in addition to this it would be prudent not to undergo any hair removal procedures in this area as the laser light could burn or scar it easily if hairs get too close.
Is the Fotona Laser Painful?
Fotona lasers have the unique ability to penetrate deep into skin layers without damaging surrounding tissues, using Nd:YAG laser technology’s innovative pulse control to target hair follicles while leaving other tissues undamaged. Furthermore, this patented treatment pattern makes Fotona ideal for use across skin colors and ages without risk of hypopigmentation or other side effects.
Fotona 4D is an all-inclusive non-invasive facial rejuvenation laser treatment, designed to stimulate collagen production, restore fibroblast activity in dermal structures, reduce superficial pigmentation, tighten skin tightening and diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, this procedure may also help diminish nasolabial folds around mouth as well as scarring from acne or other conditions.
Fotona Dynamis’ patented pulse control allows it to effectively weaken and destroy unwanted hair follicles on the face, neck, back, arms or legs without experiencing much pain during treatment. However, for maximum success it is wise to visit an experienced practitioner who can identify various forms of hair growth patterns so as to select an individualized laser therapy protocol tailored specifically to you.

Is the Fotona Laser Safe?
Fotona’s Q-switched laser technology targets deeper structures such as veins and hair follicles while sparing outer layers of skin. Laser light transforms into photoacoustic waves that disrupt pigments in your skin allowing you to get rid of unwanted hair without harming surrounding tissue. To ensure safety, before beginning treatments your doctor will conduct a small test patch of skin with which they test out the laser before administering treatment on more extensive portions. You will also be provided with protective glasses during your appointment, which may cause mild prickling sensation as your doctor moves the laser piece over your skin – at SL Aesthetic Clinic they use a Zimmer Cooler device quickly cooling your treatment area during this process for maximum comfort during this process!
Fotona is capable of treating almost every skin concern; however, to maximize results it’s essential to consult an experienced practitioner. Common side effects may include redness and itching that can be alleviated by applying cold compresses on the treated areas. After your appointment you may also experience flaky or scaly skin around the treatment site; to reduce this side effect use sunscreen with high SPF protection as well as refraining from picking at it!

How Long Does the Fotona Laser Take to Work?
The Fotona Laser provides an effective means of hair stimulation and regrowth, minimizing unwanted facial and body hair growth. Traditional methods of shaving, tweezing and waxing can be time consuming and expensive; with Fotona hair removal you can enjoy smooth skin without all of those hassles!
Fotona’s system utilizes the innovative nd:YAG laser technology, which produces more effective results when administered by an experienced practitioner. While Alexandrite lasers may damage darker fitzpatric skin tones, ND:YAG can safely be used on all skin tones while stimulating hair growth and reducing excess hair at an equal level.
Fotona hair removal procedures utilize nd:YAG energy to penetrate deep into your skin tissue and promote new collagen formation, helping restore youthfulness while diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, Fotona laser can also be used to target pigmented lesions, scars and freckles for even-toned complexion.
Fotona Laser’s Piano Mode delivers laser heat in prolonged pulses that cause outer skin layers to contract and lead to firmer and smoother skin, producing tightening effects for tightening and lifting effects. Ideal for neck and jawline sagging reduction.
Fotona SP Dynamis features an innovative SMOOTH mode designed specifically to firm cheeks and nasolabial folds. Erbium laser technology works to gently heat the outer layers of skin to cause it to contract, making this treatment ideal for firming loose or sagging cheeks post pregnancy or weight loss.
