Highest Performance Laser Systems

With 60 years of experience in laser technology, Fotona’s line of aesthetic laser systems is driving the industry forward with new levels of innovation and performance. Using a science-based approach and working closely with top universities and medical research centers, Fotona has pioneered advanced pulse technologies such as ASP (Adaptive Structured Pulse) which allow for optimal energy delivery for every aesthetic application, providing superior results without side-effects. The company is recognized as global leader in the fields of Er:YAG and Q-switched laser technologies.

Two Laser Wavelengths – All Major Applications

Fotona was the first manufacturer to introduce two complementary laser wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) in a single system (Skinlight, 1994). Combining both wavelengths in a single treatment makes best use of the unique laser-tissue interaction characteristics of each laser wavelength, and can dramatically improve the outcome of laser-assisted treatments to achieve superior clinical results.

Innovative solutions are available for a wide range of aesthetic treatments, including skin resurfacing & rejuvenation, veins and vascular lesions, pigmented lesions & tattoo removal, permanent hair reduction, and much more.

Er:YAG Lasers – For Treatment of Superficial Lesions

Fotona’s Er:YAG laser wavelength is selectively absorbed by the water content in skin cells, enabling extremely precise, micron layer-by-layer ablation of the epidermis. This causes the treated skin to tighten, stimulating the production of new collagen in the dermis. The overall result is that new skin forms which is smoother and firmer.

Fotona’s VSP technology enables the practitioner to select various modes of operation, ranging from cold ablation to a combined ablative and thermal treatment, and even a completely thermal, non-ablative skin rejuvenation deep in the dermis. Fotona Er:YAG lasers thus provide the practitioner with the widest possible range of skin rejuvenation treatments (collagen remodeling, skin tightening, light peels, etc.).

Nd:YAG Lasers – For Treatment of Deep-Lying Structures

Fotona's Nd:YAG laser light penetrates deeper into the skin to selectively target even the deepest skin structures such as deep-lying veins and hair follicles. The thermal energy of the laser heats them to a point where the desired effect is achieved.

With Fotona's Q-switched technology, instead of heat, laser light is transformed into photoacoustic waves which mechanically break apart unwanted pigments and other particles such as tattoo inks, so that the body’s own immune system can remove them. Fotona’s innovative FracTAT^™ technology also helps to optimize the pigment clearing procedure by creating micro-size holes in the skin to allow gasses and ink particles to escape more easily.
