Hair Reduction/Removal
Dive into the Tech
The high-performance Nd:YAG laser systems with FRAC3® technology from Fotona® set new standards for efficient and safe hair reduction.
How it works
Step 1
Using the Nd:YAG wavelength, energy is selectively absorbed by the hair bulb and matrix, effectively destroying the hair follicle while protecting the surrounding tissue where the melanin concentration is lower.
Step 2
The Fotona FRAC3® pulse creates a three-dimensional fractional pattern with damage islands primarily located at the sites of targeted skin imperfections.
Step 3
To treat larger body areas, the L-Runner scanner delivers uniform energy at high laser pulse power densities. This enables fast, precise, consistent, and comfortable Fotona FRAC3® laser treatments, resulting in a more uniform treatment with no hot spots or energy loss.

Scientific & Clinical Research
Avalanche FRAC3® Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal
This study discusses the Avalanche FRAC3® Nd:YAG laser hair removal protocol, which enhances the efficacy of current hair-removal procedures, reduces patient discomfort, and, in most cases, eliminates the need for skin cooling.
Scientific Evaluation of VSP Nd:YAG Lasers for Hair Removal
In this study, the efficacy and safety of the VSP Nd:YAG laser were evaluated for hair removal.
CASE REPORT: Sub-millisecond 1064 nm Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal on Indian Skin
This study concludes that the sub-millisecond 1064 nm Nd: YAG laser treatment is an efficient and safe method for hair reduction in darker skin types.
Scanner Optimized Efficacy (SOE) Hair Removal with the VSP Nd:YAG Lasers
This study highlights the latest Fotona SOE technology, which allows practitioners to apply small to medium beams without sacrificing the safety and efficacy of the treatment. This is achieved by utilizing computer-controlled laser scanner mirrors to automatically place the laser beam over a larger skin area in a perfect non-sequential pattern.
Beyond Customary Paradigm: FRAC3® Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal
Based on the results of our study, a new Nd:YAG laser hair removal protocol is introduced that extends the hair removal treatment settings beyond the customary paradigm. The new protocol is based on the FRAC3® treatment modality [9-11] and promises to be a more effective and more patient-friendly approach to laser hair removal.
Evaluation of Safety, Comfort and Efficacy of “Avalanche” Method of DMC-Assisted Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety profile of alexandrite laser hair removal performed using the avalanche technique in conjunction with dry molecular cooling (DMC™) and to compare it with a hair removal treatment sequence that combines both the avalanche and stamping techniques.
