Fotona Er:YAG Laser · Sydney
Benign Skin Lesion Removal Sydney
Fotona’s Er:YAG laser may be used for benign skin lesion removal across a range of confirmed non-cancerous skin growths — with precision targeting and minimal impact to surrounding tissue. All treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals at our Sydney clinics following thorough individual clinical assessment.
About This Treatment
Precise, Clinically Assessed Lesion Removal
Fotona’s Er:YAG 2940nm laser interacts strongly with water in tissue cells, enabling controlled, layer-precise ablation of targeted benign skin lesions. This highly selective approach is designed to remove lesion tissue with minimal thermal spread to adjacent skin — potentially reducing scarring risk compared to some other methods of benign skin lesion removal.
Patients who may not be suitable for Er:YAG ablation may be assessed for alternative approaches such as CO2 laser treatments, subject to individual clinical findings.

How it Works
Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level.
01
Clinical Lesion Assessment
The treating practitioner carefully examines each lesion to confirm benign characteristics and determine whether laser ablation is the most clinically appropriate management option for your individual presentation.
02
Precise Ablative Removal
Er:YAG laser energy is absorbed by water within the lesion cells, causing controlled vaporisation of the targeted tissue with minimal thermal damage to the adjacent skin.
03
Healing & Resolution
The treated site heals through the skin’s natural wound-healing process. Post-treatment care instructions are provided to support optimal healing and minimise scarring risk. For patients seeking further improvement in skin texture or tone following recovery, fractional resurfacing may be discussed as a complementary option at a follow-up assessment, subject to clinical suitability.
