The Science and Applications of the Renowned Fotona Laser System

Wiki Article

The fotona laser system is a highly respected and versatile aesthetic laser platform known for its dual-wavelength technology, utilizing both Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers. This combination allows it to perform a remarkably wide range of treatments, from delicate superficial work to deep dermal procedures, establishing it as a workhorse in medical aesthetic clinics worldwide.

The Er:YAG (2940 nm) laser is an ablative wavelength known for its precision and minimal thermal damage. It is exceptionally effective for skin resurfacing, erasing fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, and for treating superficial skin lesions. The Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser, on the other hand, penetrates deeply into the dermis. It is used for non-ablative skin tightening, treating vascular lesions (like spider veins), hair removal on darker skin types, and laser lipolysis.

The true power of the fotona laser lies in its proprietary treatment modes that creatively use these two wavelengths. Modes like Smooth® use the Nd:YAG laser in a unique way to heat the inside of the oral cavity for a non-invasive lip lift and perioral tightening, while Frac3® uses the Er:YAG for fractional ablative resurfacing. This versatility means a single Fotona Laser device can replace multiple single-function machines, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for clinics aiming to offer a full spectrum of laser treatments.
