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.

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.

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.
