About This Treatment

How Fotona Laser Hair Reduction Works

Fotona’s Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength is designed to be selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment within hair follicles, delivering controlled thermal energy to disrupt future hair growth. Clinical studies support its use for long-term hair reduction across a broad range of Fitzpatrick skin types. A consultation is required to determine whether this treatment may be suitable for your individual skin and hair type.

How it Works

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

01

Selective Energy Delivery

The Nd:YAG laser emits a 1064nm wavelength designed to be absorbed by the melanin pigment within the hair shaft and follicle.

02

Follicle Disruption

The absorbed energy converts to thermal energy within the follicle, designed to disrupt the follicle's capacity for hair production.

03

Progressive Reduction

Multiple sessions are required to target follicles across their growth cycles, progressively reducing the density of hair regrowth.
