The Fotona Nd:YAG laser operates at a wavelength of 1064nm, which has a lower absorption peak for melanocytes compared to 810nm and 755nm wavelengths. Using the principle of selective photothermolysis, its hair removal capability is relatively weaker when targeting the hair shaft as the chromophore, requiring more treatment sessions. However, due to its longer wavelength, it penetrates deeper into the hair follicle root. Fotona’s advanced thermal relaxation technology ensures faster and more effective follicle closure, delivering exceptional hair removal results.

Additionally, because the 1064nm wavelength has lower melanin absorption, the epidermis absorbs less heat, making the treatment safer. The laser energy is primarily absorbed by follicular tissue without damaging surrounding skin. This makes it especially effective for darker skin tones, lighter hair colors, and deeply rooted follicles. It is also ideal for delicate facial and fine body hair removal, including vellus hair on the head and face.

Cooling System for Maximum Comfort

During Fotona treatments, the external CAC cooling system provides continuous cooling, reaching temperatures between -20°C to -30°C, with six adjustable cooling levels. We can customize humidity levels based on individual needs, ensuring optimal comfort during treatment. This prevents excessive heat buildup in the epidermis, significantly reducing the risk of thermal burns.

Hygienic & Precise Hair Removal

The 1064nm laser hair removal process does not require direct skin contact or any medium, ensuring maximum hygiene and convenience. The laser spot size is adjustable from 2mm to 20mm, allowing for versatile treatments. This flexibility enables both large-area hair removal and precise shaping of small areas (down to 2mm), overcoming the limitations of fixed-spot diode laser devices.
