Fotona Er:YAG Laser · Sydney
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
Fotona's FRAC3® fractional Er:YAG laser creates micro-columns of treated tissue while preserving surrounding skin, combining resurfacing effectiveness with a more manageable recovery. May help address acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture.
About This Treatment
Fractional Technology for Targeted Skin Improvement
Fotona’s FRAC3® fractional resurfacing delivers controlled laser energy in a precise fractional pattern, treating only a portion of the skin surface in each pass. This approach is designed to stimulate collagen renewal in treated micro-columns while intact surrounding tissue promotes faster healing compared to full-field ablative resurfacing. Clinical literature supports fractional Er:YAG resurfacing for acne scars, stretch marks, and skin texture improvement. Individual outcomes vary.

Collagen Repair Response
Ablated micro-columns are designed to trigger an intense collagen repair response while intact surrounding tissue supports healing.
