Fotona Er:YAG SMOOTH® Mode · Sydney

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Fotona's SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG laser delivers non-ablative thermal energy to the dermis, designed to stimulate collagen and may help improve skin firmness and laxity — without surgery or significant downtime.

About This Treatment

Designed to Tighten and Firm the Skin

Using SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG technology, Fotona delivers controlled heat to the deeper layers of the dermis without ablating the skin surface. This is designed to stimulate collagen contraction and new collagen production, which may progressively improve skin laxity and firmness. The treatment may be used on the face, neck, and body. Outcomes vary by individual, and a consultation is required to assess whether this approach may be suitable for you.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Fotona?

Advanced laser technology designed to deliver targeted, effective results

Non-Ablative Thermal Delivery

SMOOTH® mode delivers controlled thermal energy below the skin surface without removing the epidermis.

Designed for Collagen Stimulation

The thermal effect is designed to activate fibroblasts and stimulate new collagen production, which may contribute to firmer skin over time.

Face and Body Applications

May be used for facial laxity, jowls, neck, décolletage, arms, abdomen, and other areas, subject to individual assessment.

Designed for Patient Comfort

SMOOTH® mode uses gentle, non-ablative heating designed to be well tolerated. Most patients do not require anaesthetic.

Minimal Disruption

The treatment is designed to support a return to normal activities promptly. Mild temporary redness may occur.

Progressive Improvement

Results may develop gradually over 3–6 months as new collagen continues to mature.
