How Does Fotona Work?
By combining deep-heating Nd:YAG and precise Er:YAG resurfacing, Fotona can address deeper structures and the skin surface in a customized, stepwise plan—often within the same treatment course.
Benefits & Indications
Fotona’s dual-wavelength system is one of the most versatile in dermatology and aesthetics. It is clinically proven for:
- Vascular lesions and redness: spider veins, rosacea, broken capillaries.
- Acne & acne scars: reduces active acne, residual red marks, and remodels scar tissue.
- Skin resurfacing: smoothes texture, pores, and scars, and removes skin growth.
- Hair restoration support: stimulating scalp circulation and follicle activity.
- Skin rejuvenation & anti-aging: wrinkle reduction, skin tightening, collagen stimulation.
- Fotona 4D® non-surgical facelift: inside-out rejuvenation for lifting and volumization.
- Pigmentation & melasma: safe, gradual clearance of uneven skin tone.
Contraindications
Fotona laser treatments are safe when performed by experts, but may not be recommended in the following cases:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Active skin infections, or open wounds in the treatment area.
- History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
- Recent tanning or sunburn.
- Use of photosensitizing medications.
- Uncontrolled diabetes, or certain autoimmune conditions.
