Erbium Skin Resurfacing


The Erbium laser uses water as it’s target or the chromophore. Thus the energy is focused where water is most abundant and limits the depth of injury to deeper structures. This is most beneficial on facial resurfacing that has irregular contours over the bony prominences. It is very good treating hard to treat areas around the lips. With our fractional CO2 laser it is more ablative and requires more downtime than the Erbium. The Dynamis combines the Nd:YAG with the Erbium in several protocols. Our Halo® has the same 2940-nm wavelength as the Fotona, but is combined with a fractional 1470-nm non-ablative wavelength as well. These two lasers can be combine over time to get benefits from both of their unique properties.

Two different lasers are combined in the HALO 4D. The Halo® fractional  laser delivers two different wavelengths, 1470-nm and 2940-nm simultaneously.  The Halo® is used for a more aggressive treatment, then followed by minimally ablative Dynamis treatments with minimal downtime. The PIANO® mode of the Dynamis provides continued stimulation of stem cells for repair and collagen remodeling. These combined wavelengths target dark pigments and age related changes to improve texture and lighten pigment.


Non-invasive Laser Face Lifting

A unique combination of four distinct modes of aesthetic treatment harnessed in concert to combat facial aging. The Dynamis Pro, enabled by the expanded capabilities of the Nd:YAG and Er:YAG wavelengths, provides up to four depths of treatment. Fotona's complementary Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths are synergistically applied in 4 different modes: SMOOTH®, FRAC3®, PIANO® and SupErficial™ to work on deeper, medial and superficial connective tissue structures of the skin, while simultaneously targeting different skin imperfections.

The 4D by Fotona is the recent treatment that  Kim Kardashian had done on Youtube! The neck is treated as well and a scanner can be used to deliver more tightening via the T-Runner! 

Non-invasive Eye lid tightening

There is a rare risk of accidental eye injury if struck by any laser beam even though laser safety precautions and eye protection are always used throughout all laser treatments. Erbium is very safe around the eye because it is so superficial, and eye shields are used as added protection. The Dynamis laser from Fotona can be used to stimulate collagen in the mid face and do a non-filler lip augmentation, as well as relieve sleep apnea and snoring, It also is able to treat those hard to treat bags under the eyes. The energy from erbium can be used to stimulate hair follicle growth at lower energies via the Wnt 10b and β-catenin system. This pathway shares stimulation of mesenchymal stem cells and melanoctyes as well as collagen stimulation.

Procedure

Fotona offers a laser acne treatment protocol that provides a truly comprehensive solution to the problem of acne. Fotona’s precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser light safely penetrates into skin to effectively target overactive sebaceous glands and to reduce the risk of developing new acne inflammation. For improving the appearance of acne scars, Fotona offers a complementary laser treatment based on a precise and gentle skin resurfacing procedure in which an Er:YAG laser beam is absorbed by the top micro-layers of the skin to vaporize scarred tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis.
