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 skin lesions following thorough clinical assessment in our Sydney clinics. For broader concerns related to skin texture and tone, our Skin Resurfacing treatments may also be relevant.

 

All lesions must be assessed by a qualified practitioner prior to treatment to exclude any features of concern. Suspicious or atypical lesions are referred to a dermatologist before any treatment proceeds. This treatment is not a diagnostic or skin cancer screening service.

Key Benefits

Why Choose Fotona for Skin Lesion Removal?

Advanced laser technology designed to deliver targeted, precise results for benign skin lesions.

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 a non-surgical alternative to excision of skin lesions for suitable benign cases, 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 used.

Safe for Various Locations

Laser skin lesion treatment may be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and body, subject to clinical assessment.

Medically Supervised

All assessments and treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals at our Sydney clinics. Suspicious lesions are referred for dermatological review.

How it Works

Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level. The same Fotona platform is also used in our TightSculpting treatment for body contouring concerns.

01

Clinical Assessment

Each lesion is examined by a qualified practitioner to confirm it is benign and appropriate for laser treatment. Any lesion with features of concern is referred to a dermatologist prior to proceeding.

02

Selective Laser Interaction

Laser energy targets the specific chromophore — the pigment or blood vessel — within the lesion, causing a localised effect through selective photothermolysis.

03

Tissue Resolution

Treated tissue is gradually cleared by the body’s natural processes, potentially reducing the visibility of the skin lesion over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)

Only confirmed benign lesions are suitable for laser treatment. Any lesion with features that require further assessment will be referred to a dermatologist before treatment proceeds. This service does not provide a diagnostic or skin cancer screening service.
The number of sessions depends on the type, size, and depth of the lesion. Some lesions may respond in one to two sessions; others may require additional treatments. Your practitioner will provide a realistic estimate following your clinical assessment.

Successfully treated lesions generally do not recur. However, new lesions may develop over time, particularly with ongoing sun exposure. Sun protection following treatment is strongly recommended.

Most patients experience temporary redness and mild crusting in the treated area. This typically settles within a few days to two weeks depending on the lesion type and parameters used. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided at your appointment.

All lesion assessments are conducted by qualified medical professionals at our Sydney clinics. No treatment proceeds without a thorough clinical review.
