FOTONA SKIN TREATMENTS

How does it work?

The Fotona treatment for hair loss or hair thinning works by transmitting laser light at a specific wavelength that stimulates hair growth in the follicles, resulting in the strengthening of existing hair and the production of new hair growth. Hair restoration treatments work not only to drastically reduce hair loss but also to make those thin, wispy hairs thicker and healthier.

Who does it work for?

Our hair restoration treatment works equally well for anyone regardless of age or gender.

Is the treatment painful and is there a downtime?

The area treated might appear red for 24 hours and in that case, showering is postponed to the following morning. The treatment area(s) may feel a little tight but feeling subsides within a few hours and is not noticeable to anyone but the client. There is no down time and clients can resume their daily activities immediately after the treatment.

How many treatments are required to see optimal results?

Treatments are scheduled 2-4 weeks apart with a total of 6 to 8 treatments. Results may vary from person to person, and some may notice better results than others. Sometimes, depending on the situation, our PRP hair regrowth treatment can also be combined with Fotona laser hair restoration to enhance results for those clients that have been less than successful with either PRP alone, transplant surgery alone, or just want to ensure the best outcome possible.

Collagen is essential for healthy young-looking skin because it give structure to the cell and support the dermis. As we age, the production of collagen reduces causing our skin to loose laxity and create wrinkles.

You can help sustain your collagen with healthy lifestyle choices and a collagen supporting regiment. Use sunscreen year-round. drink plenty of water and help restore your skin firmness and structure with collagen formation treatments.

Smooth Liftin is an exclusive non-invasive treatment that heats up the skin intra-orally and targets volume through a process called collagen induction. The effects are an overall improvement of tightness and elasticity of the skin along with a plumping effect, much like a filler.

Smooth Liftin is an intra-oral procedure and will require you to keep your mouth open throughout the duration of the procedure. Each person is different but you can expect minimal to no discomfort during the treatment. You may experience some redness or swelling that will diminish after a few hours and an immediate tightness and fullness of the area. Most clients can resume their daily activities immediately following the treatment.

Fotona's laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photo-selective absorption and heating. The laser safely penetrates to an optimal depth and selectively destroys overactive sebaceous glands and accelerates the healing process by stimulating collagen remodelling, an important step in the long-term treatment of acne.

Fotona's laser is ideal for scar revision. It safely and effectively penetrates the skin for gentle resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve your skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled by the practitioner. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below.

Micro-Laser Peel treatments are used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin, reducing sun damage, wrinkles, enlarged pores and spots. During a laser peel, the superficial layers of the skin are damaged and over the next few days they naturally exfoliate off revealing a smoother more youthful appearance. For minimal recovery time, results that look natural, improved skin tone and pore size, and a treatment specifically gauged to your needs, the Fotona Micro-Laser Peel is the treatment you have been waiting for.

What Is a Micro-Laser Peel?

The Micro-Laser beam gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the epidermis while thermally affecting deeper skin layers to stimulate the production of collagen in the dermis.

Why Choose a Micro-Laser Peel?

With a Micro-laser peel, the technician can completely customize the treatment by controlling the depth and region of your treatment. This results in a treatment catered specifically to your needs.

What Can I Expect From My Micro-Laser Peel Treatment?

Each person is different, but during the treatment you can expect minimal to mild discomfort. Immediately following the treatment, you may experience some redness and sun burn like sensation, depending on your customized treatment settings. Most clients can resume their daily activities immediately as the mild redness and sunburn like sensation will only last for a few hours.

Snoring occurs when air is not able to move freely through your nose and mouth during sleep. This is due to narrowing of your airway, which causes the tissues to vibrate and make an audible sound. In extreme cases the airway can become blocked which is known as obstructive sleep apnea.

Snoring has a number of consequences that can impact the life of snorer and theirs sleep partner. Sleep deprivation as a result of snoring has a negative impact on health and quality of life. Snorers can experience tiredness, morning headaches, irritability, dry mouth and relationship difficulties. Studies have also shown a link between snoring and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Most treatments of snoring attempt to keep the breathing passage open. Specially made dental appliances can be effective but rely on daily compliance. There are surgical options available which involve removal of tissues from the uvula but these surgeries are invasive and can result in a lengthy and uncomfortable recovery period after the surgery.

NightLase is a leading-edge laser procedure for the treatment of snoring. It is non-invasive, simple and an effective way of reducing or eliminating snoring.

Laser energy is used to heat the tissues of the airway causing a tightening effect which helps to keep your airway open. NightLase is performed with approx. three short 15 minute treatments spaced over

2 months. This procedure is comfortable and requires no anesthesia. You can resume your daily routine immediately after the procedure. Results are often seen after the first session.

Onychomycosis is a persistent fungal infection of the nail bed. It is most common nail disorder in adults and counts for 50% of nail diseases. The infection can cause nails to become yellow or discoloured. Advanced infection causes thick, brittle nails that often split up from the nail bed. It also causes discomfort when wearing shoes or walking.

ClearSteps is a revolutionary new procedure for treating Onychomycosis. It is non-invasive laser procedure to treat the affected nail and skin. It is simple, safe, quick and effective.

The treatment involves passing a laser beam over the infected nail and surrounding tissues, resulting in photo thermal heating effect that weakens and kills the fungi that cause the infection.

You may feel a heating sensation during the treatment; however, you can leave immediately after the treatment and resume your daily activities. You could also experience some slight discolouration of the nail after the treatment.

Improvement may be seen after a single ClearSteps session. However, best results are typically achieved through a series of 3 – 4 treatments. Successful treatment will result in the growth of a new, healthy nail, however, it could take up-to 1 year to see an entirely clear nail, depending on the rate of growth.

LipLase is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that is performed from inside the mouth as well as the outer lip area. There are no injections needed, no foreign materials are used, and the patient can return to day to day activities immediately with little or no side effects. LipLase™ enhances lips to give a fuller, more natural appearance using laser energy. This is done through the process of collagen regeneration. LipLase™ rejuvenates, fills, and plumps lips as well as defines shape.

LipLase™ is done through the use of our Fotona Laser that stimulates the production of collagen. LipLase cannot double the size of your lips, nor can it change them into a completely different shape. What LipLase can do via working with your own body’s capabilities, is stimulate new collagen growth.

Clients do not require any anesthetic or numbing agents for the treatment. Laser energy is passed all around the lips and surrounding skin. After lip plumping, you may feel heat on the lips and around the mouth area, which will subside within an hour or so.

LipLase treatments are required once a month for 3 months, followed by one session every 3 months to maintain the increased fullness in the lips. If you are looking for a new way to add fullness to your lips without any needles, then this lip-plumping treatment may be your solution!

Laser treatments are now a routine procedure for the removal of many types of vascular lesions. Long-pulse Nd:YAG lasers offer the perfect solution for treating vascular lesions. Fotona’s long-pulse Nd:YAG lasers penetrate to a depth of 5-6 mm into the skin, allowing for highly effective treatments. Independent research shows that over 75% of patients with deep hemangioma that are treated with Nd:YAG lasers see a dramatic regression in the lesion.

Safe, Effective, And Minimally Invasive

The targeted chromophore for vascular lesions is intravascular oxyhemoglobin; thus, thermal damage is largely restricted to cutaneous blood vessels. The energy from the laser is absorbed by the blood in the vein, converted into heat, and the vein walls are subsequently destroyed. In comparison with other wavelengths which mainly affect the surface layers of a lesion, Nd:YAG light also targets the underlying vascular feeding system, which is important for ensuring the long-term efficacy of the treatment. This process is perfectly safe, as other healthy veins supply blood to the treated area and the body’s immune system clears away the dead tissue just as with a bruise.

The ideal solution for wound healing and pain reduction

• Fast, patient-friendly and effective

Laser light is absorbed into the mitochondria and cell membranes of the target cells, leading to an increased level of molecular kinetic energy. Low-level laser therapy involves the application of low-power laser light inducing highly effective wound healing and pain reduction. Generally, there is no discomfort during the treatment.

If you're uncomfortable with or dislike your stretch marks, the Fotona SP Dynamis laser treatment is your best choice. This laser treatment will help you feel confident when your skin is revealed, if stretch marks are a barrier to your self confidence!

Stretch marks can occur on different parts of the body. It is not uncommon for individuals to notice these marks on their arms, abdomen, breasts, buttocks and thighs. A stretch mark is a type of scar that develops when the skin has to accommodate for changes, and stretches/ shrinks quickly. The abrupt change causes collagen and elastin in the skin to rupture, and as the skin heals, stretch marks can appear. No matter the placement or reason, the Fotona SP Dynamis laser can help to treat these stretch marks.

It is pretty simple. A hand piece is used to direct the laser’s energy at the skin. One small area is treated, and then the hand piece is moved to another area. The amount of time depends on the size of the area being treated, amongst other things.

You might experience some minor discomfort when the hand piece is being used to direct the laser energy at specific marks. Then, after the procedure, the area that was treated is likely to feel a little bit tender. However, this will go away over time. Also, you are going to experience redness in the area where the laser was used. 

For some of us, dealing with stretch marks is a detriment to our self-confidence. If that rings true for you, schedule a consultation with us to see if the Fotona SP Dynamis laser is right for you.
