Fotona Er:YAG SMOOTH® Mode · Sydney
Skin Tightening Treatment Sydney
Fotona's SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG laser delivers non-ablative thermal energy to the dermis — designed to stimulate collagen remodelling and may help improve skin firmness and laxity. One of the more precise laser skin tightening options available today, and without surgery or significant downtime.
About This Treatment
A Clinically Designed Approach to Skin Tightening
Using SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG technology, Fotona delivers controlled heat to the deeper dermal layers without ablating the skin surface. This thermal stimulus is designed to trigger collagen fibre contraction and activate fibroblasts for new collagen production — a process central to how most non-surgical skin tightening procedures work. Over time, this may progressively improve skin laxity, firmness, and overall skin texture. The treatment may be applied to the face, neck, and body. Outcomes vary between individuals, and a consultation is required to determine whether this face skin tightening treatment may be suitable for you.

How it Works
Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level
01
Controlled Dermal Heating
SMOOTH® mode Er:YAG heats the dermis in a controlled thermal pattern without ablating the surface epidermis, preserving the skin barrier throughout the skin tightening procedure.Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

02
Collagen Stimulation
The thermal effect initiates collagen fibre contraction and new collagen synthesis by fibroblasts within the extracellular matrix.
01
Gradual Firming
Over months, the skin may become progressively firmer and more refined as new collagen matures and the dermis remodels — the biological basis of most effective skin tightening treatments.

Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs)
HIFU skin tightening uses focused ultrasound to reach deeper tissue planes, while RF skin tightening uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis. Fotona’s Er:YAG laser works through precise non-ablative photothermal heating of the dermal collagen matrix. Each technology has different depth profiles and clinical applications. Your practitioner can advise which approach, or combination, may be most appropriate for you.
This is a non-surgical skin tightening option designed for mild to moderate laxity. It is not a surgical alternative and is not designed to replicate the outcomes of surgical lifting procedures. Patients seeking significant structural correction may require surgical consultation.
Initial changes in skin texture may be noticed within weeks, with more visible firming typically developing over 3–6 months as new collagen matures.
