About This Treatment

Lesion Removal with Precision Laser Technology

Fotona’s laser systems allow practitioners to selectively deliver energy to target the specific chromophore within a lesion, minimising impact to surrounding tissue. This approach may be used for confirmed benign lesions following thorough clinical assessment. All lesions must be assessed by a qualified practitioner prior to treatment to exclude any features of concern. This treatment is not a diagnostic service.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Fotona?

Advanced laser technology designed to deliver targeted, effective results

Selective Energy Delivery

Laser energy is directed at the specific pigment or vessel within the lesion, designed to minimise thermal impact on surrounding healthy tissue.

Minimally Invasive Approach

May offer an alternative to surgical excision for suitable benign lesions, subject to individual clinical assessment.

Range of Lesion Types

May be applicable for pigmented lesions, vascular spots, sebaceous gland overgrowth, and similar confirmed benign growths.

Post-Treatment Recovery

Designed to support a return to normal activities relatively quickly. Recovery varies by lesion type and treatment parameters.

Safe for Various Locations

May be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and body, subject to assessment.

Medically Supervised

Clinical assessment and treatment are performed by qualified medical professionals. Suspicious lesions are referred for dermatological review.

How it Works

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

01

Clinical Assessment

Each lesion is examined by a qualified practitioner to confirm it is benign and appropriate for laser treatment. Suspicious lesions are referred.

02

Selective Laser Interaction

Laser energy targets the specific chromophore (pigment or blood vessel) within the lesion, causing a localised effect.

03

Tissue Resolution

Treated tissue is gradually cleared by the body's natural processes, potentially reducing the visibility of the lesion.
