Fotona Laser

What Is Fotona Laser & How It Works

Fotona is an advanced, dual-wavelength laser system that uses Er:YAG (2940 nm) and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) energy to treat multiple layers of the skin with precision. Unlike traditional lasers that focus on one depth or concern, Fotona is designed to deliver multi-dimensional rejuvenation by combining deep-tissue heating, mid-dermal collagen activation, and controlled surface renewal within a single platform. This versatility allows your practitioner to target laxity, pigmentation, texture, acne, scars, and vascular concerns using tailored modes and protocols that match your skin type and sensitivity.

Nd:YAG penetrates into the deeper dermis to:

• Stimulate collagen
• Tighten tissue
• Improve inflammation
• Treat acne and vascular concerns

Er:YAG works on the surface to:

• Smooth texture
• Reduce pigmentation
• Resurface scars
• Renew dull or aged skin

These wavelengths can be used independently or combined for layered rejuvenation. Protocols like Fotona 4D treat the mucosa, deep dermis, mid-dermis, and epidermis in one session, restoring firmness, clarity, and overall skin quality.
