Fotona Er:YAG Laser · Sydney

Benign Skin Lesion Removal

Fotona's Er:YAG laser may be used for the removal of a range of confirmed benign skin lesions with precision and minimal impact to surrounding tissue. Performed by qualified medical professionals in Sydney following thorough clinical assessment.

About This Treatment

Precise, Clinically Assessed Lesion Removal

Fotona’s Er:YAG 2940nm laser interacts strongly with tissue water, enabling controlled, layer-precise ablation of targeted skin lesions. This highly selective approach is designed to remove lesion tissue with minimal thermal spread, potentially reducing scarring risk compared to some other removal methods. All lesions must be assessed and confirmed as benign by a qualified medical practitioner before any laser treatment is performed. Suspicious or uncertain lesions will be referred for dermatological review prior to any intervention.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Fotona?

Advanced laser technology designed to deliver targeted, effective results

Precise Tissue Ablation

The Er:YAG wavelength's high affinity for water enables accurate, layer-by-layer ablation of targeted lesion tissue with minimal spread to surrounding skin.

Clinically Assessed Approach

All lesions are thoroughly examined by a qualified medical practitioner prior to treatment. Lesions with uncertain or suspicious features are referred for specialist review.

Minimally Invasive Option

May offer a non-surgical alternative for appropriate benign lesions, potentially with less scarring risk than excision where clinically suitable.

Range of Lesion Types

May be applicable for seborrhoeic keratoses, dermal naevi, milia, syringomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, and other confirmed benign growths — subject to assessment.

Face, Neck & Body Applications

Can be applied to a range of anatomical locations with parameter adjustment, subject to individual clinical assessment.

Medically Supervised

Treatment planning, lesion assessment, and laser delivery are all performed or directly supervised by qualified medical professionals.

How it Works

Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level.

01

Clinical Lesion Assessment

The treating practitioner examines each lesion to confirm benign characteristics and determine whether laser ablation is the most appropriate management option.

02

Precise Ablative Removal

Er:YAG laser energy is absorbed by water in the lesion cells, causing controlled vaporisation of the targeted tissue with minimal thermal damage to adjacent skin.

03

Healing & Resolution

The treated site heals via the skin's natural wound healing process. Post-treatment care supports optimal healing and minimises scarring risk.
