Fotona laser is one of the most clinically versatile platforms in aesthetic medicine. The dual-wavelength architecture combines Er:YAG 2940nm and Nd:YAG 1064nm to address different skin depths and concerns in one platform.
Dual-Wavelength Technology
Er:YAG provides precise superficial ablation and SMOOTH non-ablative heating; Nd:YAG penetrates deeper and is used for vascular targets, acne, hair removal, and deep heating modes such as PIANO.
Fotona 4D Overview
Fotona 4D combines SmoothLiftin, FRAC3, PIANO, and SupErficial passes for layered rejuvenation. Typical primary protocols involve multiple sessions with maintenance thereafter.
Common Protocols
SmoothEye for periorbital laxity, Nd:YAG hair removal for broad skin types, dual-wavelength acne support, and pigmentation protocols with physician-led parameter selection.
Safety and Suitability
Safety depends on proper indication, settings, and physician expertise. Darker Fitzpatrick skin types can be treated effectively with appropriately selected protocols. Individual results may vary.
