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.

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.
