About This Treatment
Precision Ablative Skin Resurfacing
Fotona’s Er:YAG (Erbium:YAG) laser operates at a 2940nm wavelength with high affinity for tissue water, enabling precise, controlled ablation of targeted skin layers. This approach is designed to remove damaged or aged surface tissue while stimulating the skin’s natural healing and collagen production. Treatment depth and intensity are tailored to each patient’s skin type and specific concerns. Downtime varies according to the depth of resurfacing performed.

How it Works
Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level.
01
Ablative Layer Removal
The Er:YAG wavelength is strongly absorbed by water in skin cells, causing precise vaporisation of the targeted tissue layers.
02
Wound Healing Response
The controlled ablation activates the skin's repair cascade, designed to produce new collagen and elastin fibres in the treated area.
03
New Skin Formation
As the treated area heals, new skin forms with potentially improved texture, tone, and firmness compared to the pre-treatment skin.
