Acne & Acne Scar Correction

The Fotona Nd:Yag laser safely penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to thermally destroy overactive sebaceous glands and kill acne-causing bacteria. In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd:YAG acne laser treatment also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling, an important step in the long-term treatment of acne.

Fotona’s Er:YAG laser wavelength is ideal for gentle ablative scar revision. The Er:YAG laser safely and effectively provides the minimal penetration depth required for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve skin texture and tone.

This skin resurfacing and rejuvenation can be performed either in ablative modes with an Er:YAG laser or non-ablatively with a Nd:YAG laser, depending on the particular aesthetic outcome that the patient wishes to achieve. They can also be combined: Fotona’s revolutionary TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation method precisely targets and heats imperfections in the skin, stimulating new collagen but leaving the surrounding untreated, which helps speed up the rejuvenation process. Treatments can extend from light touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, ideal for patients who want drastic rejuvenation effects, but without aggressive or surgical methods. This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, with minimal patient downtime.

NightLase®: Snoring and Sleep Apnea Treatment

Fotona’s NightLase® therapy is a non-invasive laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase® reduces the effects of sleep apnea and decreases the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle, laser-induced tightening effect caused by the contraction of collagen in the oral mucosa tissue. This results in shrinking of the oral mucosa tissue and thus, less obstructed air flow. Current research shows that NightLase® significantly reduces snoring and effectively lessens the effects of sleep apnea.

HAIRestart®

HaiRestart® works through mild thermal pulses that gently deliver laser light to the tissue, heating the scalp in a safe and controlled way, which leads to gentle heating of the skin and the production of growth factors, without any significant damage to the skin surface. Several clinical studies of HaiRestart® have shown significant improvement in hair growth, increased hair density, and a stabilization of hair loss.

Veins and Vascular Lesions

This Fotona laser treatment selectively heats the target vessels causing coagulation and destroying the blood vessel walls. Unlike other lasers that mainly affect the surface layers of a vascular lesion, the Fotona laser also targets the underlying vascular feeding system, which is important for ensuring the long-term efficacy the treatment. This process is perfectly safe as other healthy veins supply blood to the treated area and the body’s immune system clears away the dead tissue just as with a bruise.

Laser Wart Removal

Fotona’s Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers penetrate through the calloused tissue of the wart providing extremely precise skin ablation and coagulation of blood vessels feeding the wart, which leads to wart clearance. Also, the antibacterial effects of laser wart removal promote faster healing and reduce the possibility of wart recurrence. There is no anesthesia required and no special post-procedure skin care necessary.
