How it Works
Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level
01
Selective Energy Delivery
The Nd:YAG laser emits a 1064nm wavelength designed to be absorbed by the melanin pigment within the hair shaft and follicle.
02
Follicle Disruption
The absorbed energy converts to thermal energy within the follicle, designed to disrupt the follicle's capacity for hair production.
03
Progressive Reduction
Multiple sessions are required to target follicles across their growth cycles, progressively reducing the density of hair regrowth.
