HAIRestart

Fotona’s HaiRestart® hair growth stimulation is an effective method of treating hair loss disorders. This innovative solution is focused on stimulation dormant hair follicles to promote hair growth.

With Fotona SMOOTH® modality HaiRestart® enables treatments that ensure highly controlled delivery of energy and provide the best comfort for the patient. Practitioners can effectively and safely deliver unique temporal and spatial temperature profiles to the scalp, resulting in increased tissue regeneration and the promotion of new follicle growth.

Key Advantages:

• Prevention of further hair loss

• Increase of hair density and thickness

• Promotion of new follicle growth

• No medications

• No down-time

How it Works?

The method of action lies in the patented Fotona SMOOTH® pulses that gently deliver laser light to the tissue, triggering the scalp in a safe and controlled way. Fotona SMOOTH® operates at the optimal infrared Er:YAG laser wavelength (2.94 μm) that coincides with the maximal absorption in the skin.

The unique patented feature of Fotona SMOOTH® is the ability to act in a non-ablative manner, producing precisely engineered mild thermal pulses. This ensures that the laser light is delivered to the tissue gently and efficiently, heating the scalp in a safe and controlled pulsed way. The overall effect is a gentle heating of the skin and the production of growth factors, without any significant ablation of the epidermis.

Significant Results and Highly Satisfied Patients

Several clinical studies of HaiRestart® have demonstrated high efficacy and an absence of adverse effects. Significant improvement of hair growth along with increased hair density, and a stabilization of hair loss were reported, regardless of AGA (androgenetic alopecia) grade, patient age or AGA duration.

The results of patients’ blind evaluation in one study (Day D. et al., 2021) indicated improvement in hair quality in 93% of patients, which was not correlated with age or AGA grade. In other studies (Dekeyser B., 2019 and Mercik G. et al., 2021), patients reported subjective feedback as well, describing a more elastic and less dry scalp, and thicker, more durable, healthier and denser hair than previously.

Acne & Acne Scar Revision

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.

Fast results, Without Side-Effects

For active acne, Fotona’s laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photoselective absorption and controlled heating effects. Fotona’s high powered Nd:YAG laser safely penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to thermally and selectively destroy overactive sebaceous glands.

In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd:YAG acne laser treatment also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling, an important step in the long-term treatment of acne.

Gentle & Effective Acne Scar Revision

For treating problematic acne scars, Fotona's Er:YAG laser wavelength is ideal for gentle ablative scar revision. The Er:YAG laser safely and effectively provides the minimal penetration depth required for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below. Laser resurfacing is a fast, safe and simple procedure.

STRECH MARK TREATMENT

• Minimally Invasive Laser Treatment for Stretch Marks

• Improvement of skin texture and appearance

• Collagen remodeling

• Appropriate also for darker skin types

• Minimally invasive

What is LineLaseTM?

LineLaseTM is an effective and safe laser treatment for stretch marks that is appropriate for all skin types. It softens and flattens the appearance of stretch marks while improving the overall appearance of the skin. It is a comfortable and non-aggressive procedure, allowing patients to return immediately to their normal routines.

How does the LineLaseTM treatment work?

LineLaseTM is a 2-step procedure that combines Fotona SMOOTH® tightening with ablative resurfacing.

The first stage consists of a revolutionary non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH® mode applied to the treatment area, which is ideal for skin tightening. The intense, controlled surface tissue heating stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis. The effects result in an overall improvement of laxity and elasticity in the treated areas.

The second stage consists of skin ablation with a full or fractional Er:YAG beam, which improves the scar characteristics of striae and removes superficial imperfections.

SMOOTH EYE

• Immediate freshness and tightness of the periocular area

• Stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis

• Little-to-no downtime

• Gentle, fast and non-invasive

• Safe and precisely controlled

TIGHTENING

Fotona SMOOTH® modality Er:YAG reduces wrinkles around the eyes in a non-invasive approach. The non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH® mode is applied to stimulate collagen remodeling and contraction. The entire periocular region is covered, including regions above, below and lateral to the eye. The therapy is very well tolerated by patients, with no discomfort described.

What is SmoothEye®?

SmoothEye® is a new and exciting non-ablative Fotona SMOOTH® mode treatment for tightening of the periocular region and reducing the appearance of periorbital wrinkles. SmoothEye® significantly tightens loose and aging skin of the eyelids and periocular region with little-to-no downtime and maximum patient comfort, making this a very sought after non-invasive cosmetic procedure.

After a few treatment sessions, the result is improved skin elasticity, overall structure, and volume with significant wrinkle reduction.

Advantages of Fotona SMOOTH® Mode

Fotona’s revolutionary non-ablative Fotona SMOOTH® mode treats the skin in a smooth, almost “feather-like” non-ablative manner, without bleeding and with precisely controlled temperature deposition. The optical energy is delivered in a unique, sub-second long pulse sequence which prevents temperature build-up at the surface and achieves homogeneous heating within several hundred micrometers of the tissue.

Fotona SMOOTH® mode is ideal for skin tightening. The intense, controlled surface tissue heating stimulates collagen remodeling and initiates neocollagenesis. The result is an overall improvement of wrinkles, laxity and elasticity in the treatment areas around the eyes.

Getting started with SmoothEye®

Training in SmoothEye® is provided through the Laser and Health Academy as a part of a training workshop in Fotona’s minimally invasive aesthetic treatments, under the guidance of experts in medical laser technology. The extensive workshop, where participants engage in live demonstrations and gain an in-depth understanding of laser-tissue interaction, will provide the needed insight into the fundamentals of non-invasive aesthetic treatments and other procedures that can be performed with Fotona laser systems.

The following dual-wavelength laser systems from Fotona are ideal for Fotona4D® plus a wide range of other skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments:

The Dynamis Pro multi-application systems from Fotona provide a single, uniquely capable and full-featured solution offering the power of ultra-high performance Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers, ideal for a wide range of applications in aesthetics and dermatology. The SP Dynamis also includes an additional surgical QCW Nd:YAG laser for lipolysis and many other surgical procedures.

LipLase

• Non-Invasive Plumping for Fuller Lips without Injectables

• Fuller, smoother lips

• Stimulates collagen remodeling

• Initiates new collagen synthesis

• No needles, no downtime

LIP PLUMPING

Fotona SMOOTH® modality Er:YAG provides an immediate response that patients will notice. In contrast to injectable fillers, the LipLase® treatment is non-invasive, and there is nothing artificial as patients develop their own collagen in their lips. With several adjusted passes the characteristics of ‘ideal lips’ can be achieved such as fullness, volume, correct balance between the upper and lower lips and a well-defined vermilion border.

For even deeper collagen stimulation Nd:YAG laser in PIANO mode is used, which is the safest mode for reaching deeper lying skin tissues, with minimal thermal effect on the surface.

NightLase

Fotona’s NightLase®* therapy is a patient-friendly laser treatment for increasing the quality of a patient’s sleep. NightLase can reduce the effects of and decrease the amplitude of snoring by means of a gentle laser treatment of the mucosa tissue.

* The Fotona LightWalker and Dynamis laser system families have been cleared by the US FDA for ENT surgery, intra-oral soft tissue ablation, coagulation, excision and incision, and laser assisted uvulopaletoplasty (LAUP).

Simple, Safe and Effective

Fotona’s patented laser modality optimizes the length of laser pulses, allowing for the safe penetration of heat into the oral mucosa tissue. It is gentle enough to be used on the sensitive tissue inside the mouth, but strong enough to provide clinically efficacious heating.

With proper training NightLase has a high success rate in producing a positive change in sleep patterns. Research has shown that NightLase can reduce and attenuate snoring and provides an effective, non-invasive way to lessen the effects of snoring.
