Laser Surgery Applications

Fotona’s Er:YAG and Nd:YAG laser systems offer precision soft tissue laser surgery capabilities for a range of minor surgical and dermatological procedures in Sydney. All procedures are performed by qualified medical professionals in a clinical setting.

About This Treatment

Minimally Invasive Precision Laser Procedures

Fotona’s dual-wavelength laser platform provides Sydney medical practitioners with versatile, precise tools for soft tissue laser surgery applications.

The Er:YAG wavelength enables clean cutting and ablation of superficial tissue. The Nd:YAG wavelength assists with deeper vascular targets.

These capabilities may be used for minor surgical and dermatological procedures including lesion excision and soft tissue revision. All treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals, subject to individual assessment.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Fotona?

Advanced laser technology designed to deliver targeted, effective results

Precise Soft Tissue Cutting

The Er:YAG laser enables precise incision and ablation of soft tissue with controlled depth and minimal thermal damage to adjacent structures.

Haemostatic Properties

Laser energy can provide simultaneous cutting and coagulation, potentially reducing bleeding during certain soft tissue procedures.

Reduced Mechanical Trauma

Laser cutting may reduce mechanical tissue disruption compared to conventional instruments in appropriate applications.

Versatile Wavelength Options

The Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths offer complementary tissue interaction profiles, giving the treating practitioner flexible options across different laser surgery applications — from dermatological procedures to soft tissue revision.

Range of Procedural Applications

May be used for minor lesion excision, soft tissue revision, dermatological procedures, and other clinically indicated uses, subject to individual assessment. Patients who have been recommended benign skin lesion removal may find this page particularly relevant to their consultation discussion.

Performed by Medical Professionals

All laser surgical procedures in our Sydney clinics are planned and performed by qualified medical practitioners in a clinical environment with appropriate safety protocols.

How it Works

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

01

Laser Energy Delivery

Controlled YAG laser energy is delivered to the target tissue via a precision handpiece, allowing the practitioner to direct energy accurately to the intended site.

02

Tissue Interaction

Depending on the wavelength and mode selected, the laser energy can cut, ablate, coagulate, or vaporise tissue to achieve the desired surgical effect — a principle consistent with established laser applications in medicine and surgery.

03

Wound Management

The treated site heals via normal wound healing. Post-procedural care instructions are provided and follow-up is arranged at our Sydney clinic to monitor healing progress.
