Fotona Er:YAG Laser · Sydney
Laser Skin Resurfacing Sydney
Fotona’s Er:YAG laser delivers clinically precise skin resurfacing treatment in Sydney, designed to address wrinkles, scarring, uneven texture, and sun-damaged skin. Performed by qualified medical professionals at our Sydney clinic.
About This Treatment
Precision Ablative Skin Resurfacing
Fotona’s Er:YAG (Erbium:YAG) laser operates at a 2940nm wavelength, chosen for its exceptionally high affinity for tissue water. This enables controlled, layer-by-layer ablation of targeted skin — removing damaged or aged surface tissue while activating the skin’s own collagen and elastin production pathways. Unlike CO2 laser skin resurfacing, which relies on broader thermal energy, the Er:YAG wavelength works with minimal heat spread to surrounding tissue, making depth and intensity highly customisable to each patient’s skin type and concerns. Downtime varies according to the resurfacing depth selected.

How it Works
Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level
01
Ablative Layer Removal
The Er:YAG wavelength is strongly absorbed by water in skin cells, causing precise vaporisation of the targeted tissue layers with minimal collateral thermal damage.
02
Wound Healing Response
Controlled ablation activates the skin’s repair cascade — stimulating new collagen fibres, elastin remodelling, and fibroblast activity in the treated zone.
04
New Skin Formation
As the treated area heals, new skin forms with potentially improved texture, tone, and firmness compared to pre-treatment skin.
