Our Fotona Laser Treatments

Got questions about Fotona laser treatments? Check out our Frequently Asked Questions

Laser Hair Removal

Shaving and waxing can cause irritation and ingrown hairs, and require ongoing maintenance. Fotona’s Frac3® laser hair removal safely and permanently reduces unwanted hair with minimal discomfort.

How it works

The Nd:YAG laser penetrates deeply into the skin, targeting hair follicles with short, high-intensity pulses without damaging surrounding tissue. Unlike IPL, this technology is safe, less painful, and effective across all skin types, including darker tones.

Non Surgical Facelift

Fotona 4D laser is a breakthrough non-surgical facelift that lifts and tightens the skin without needles, fillers, or downtime. It targets visible signs of ageing, including jowls, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, fine lines, and wrinkles, with immediate results that continue to improve over time.

How it works

Fotona 4D uses two laser wavelengths and four modes, SMOOTH®, FRAC3®, PIANO®, and SupErficial™, to treat multiple layers of the skin. Laser energy is applied inside the mouth and on the skin to stimulate collagen, improve elasticity, and improve skin tone and texture.

Laser Treatment for Pigmentation

Fotona’s QX MAX Q-switch laser is a precise, medical-grade solution for treating pigmentation, sunspots, age spots, melasma, and some birthmarks. Unlike IPL, this laser is safe to use on darker skin, causes less discomfort, and delivers better results with minimal downtime.

How it works

Fotona’s Q-switch laser delivers short bursts of high-energy light. This breaks large pigment clusters into smaller particles, which are then cleared by the body’s immune system. The treatment is non-ablative, meaning the skin's surface remains intact, reducing the risk of complications.
BOOK NOW

Laser treatment for Rosacea

Fotona Dynamis effectively reduces redness, visible capillaries, and inflammation associated with Rosacea. It is non-invasive, safe for many skin types, and requires minimal downtime, making it a gentle option for managing facial redness and restoring skin clarity.

How it works

The Fotona Nd:YAG laser targets haemoglobin in dilated blood vessels, heating and collapsing them to reduce facial redness and flushing. The body then naturally reabsorbs these vessels. It can also help clear the bumps and pustules associated with acne rosacea, resulting in a calmer, clearer complexion.

Medicare rebates may be available.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Fotona’s Frac3® laser is a non-ablative treatment that stimulates collagen in the deeper layers of the skin to improve sun damage, fine lines, age spots, and textural irregularities. With less discomfort and downtime than fractional CO2 lasers, it’s a clinically proven option for all skin types, including darker skin.

How it works
Frac3® creates controlled micro-injuries beneath the skin's surface, activating your body’s natural healing response. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother texture, firmer skin, and even tone. The outer layer of skin remains intact, allowing for faster recovery compared to traditional CO2 lasers.
BOOK NOW

Laser treatment for acne and scarring

Living with acne and scarring can affect your self-confidence. Fotona’s Frac3® laser is a safe, non-invasive solution that treats active breakouts, reduces inflammation, and fades post-inflammatory pigmentation and acne scars. Treatments are fast with minimal downtime and help restore a smoother, clearer complexion.

How it works
The laser penetrates the skin, targeting overactive sebaceous glands, reducing congestion, and stimulating collagen to remodel scar tissue. Fotona’s Frac3® laser can also significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks.
BOOK NOW

Laser Treatment for Lips and Eyes

Fotona’s LipLase® and SmoothEye® are non-surgical laser treatments designed to strengthen and rejuvenate delicate skin around the lips and eyes. Both treatments stimulate natural collagen production, helping to soften fine lines, enhance definition, and restore firmness with gradual, natural-looking results.

How it works
LipLase® and SmoothEye® use Fotona’s SMOOTH® mode to gently heat targeted areas with controlled laser energy. This process stimulates collagen remodelling in the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface. Over time, the skin becomes firmer, more defined, and visibly refreshed.
BOOK NOW

Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoos are personal, but it’s good to know you have options if you decide it’s time to remove one. The Fotona QX MAX is one of the most advanced, medical-grade lasers available for safely and effectively removing both black and coloured tattoos.

How it works
The QX MAX emits light at multiple wavelengths, enabling it to break down a wide range of tattoo pigments into smaller fragments. The body clears these fragments through the lymphatic system. The laser treatment removes tattoos while leaving surrounding skin tissue intact.
BOOK NOW

Body Sculpting

Fotona TightSculpting is a fast, safe, and non-invasive treatment that targets stubborn fat and loose skin. As a non-surgical alternative to laser lipolysis, it helps reshape common problem areas, including the abdomen, thighs, chin, and arms, by reducing fat and improving skin tone.

How it works

Fotona TightSculpting uses the Nd:YAG laser to penetrate the subcutaneous layer, gently heating and disrupting fat cells. The Er:YAG laser then treats the skin’s surface to improve tone and elasticity by triggering collagen remodelling. Together, this treatment supports gradual fat loss, tightening and improved contour.
BOOK NOW

Vascular Laser Treatment

Vascular lesions such as spider veins, broken capillaries, venous lakes, leg veins, and angiomas are common and often harmless, but they can cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort. Fotona Dynamis Pro uses advanced vascular laser technology to address these concerns, without surgery or downtime.

How it works
Fotona’s vascular laser therapy delivers targeted energy, causing the vessels to collapse and be gradually reabsorbed by the body. The surrounding skin remains unaffected, making this laser treatment for spider veins safe and well-tolerated.

Medicare rebates may be available for certain conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is Fotona safe for all skin types?

Yes. Fotona is safe for all skin types and tones. Its advanced energy delivery and adjustable settings allow the laser to be tailored to your skin colour, treatment needs or hair type. This makes it a safer and more inclusive option than many traditional lasers. For your safety, we always recommend patch testing first.

Q: Does it hurt?

Fotona treatments are generally well tolerated. Most people describe the sensation as warm, tingly, or mildly prickly. Discomfort varies depending on the type of treatment. Skin tightening usually requires no anaesthetic, while resurfacing or deeper treatments may involve a topical numbing cream for added comfort.

Q: Is there downtime?

Downtime varies depending on the type of treatment you receive. SmoothEye™, NightLase® and certain acne treatments typically have little to no downtime. More intensive treatments, such as fractional resurfacing, may cause redness and light peeling for a few days. Your treatment clinician at The Skin Collective will walk you through what to expect and provide clear aftercare instructions to support your recovery.

Q: What should I know about post-laser care?

The Skin Collective team will provide personalised aftercare instructions based on your treatment and skin type. You may notice mild redness, swelling, or warmth, which typically settles within a few hours to a few days. Avoid sun exposure, excessive heat, and harsh products during this time.

Daily use of broad-spectrum SPF is essential to protect your skin and support healing. Do not exfoliate, pick, or apply active ingredients unless instructed to do so. Proper care helps prevent complications and supports lasting results.

Q: How much does it cost, and how many sessions will I need?

Costs vary depending on the nature of your concern and the treatment area. Most patients require 3–4 sessions, spaced 3–6 weeks apart, for optimal results. Some treatments (such as NightLase or skin resurfacing) may require maintenance every 6–12 months. Please book a consultation to discuss.
>> See Pricelist

Q: Are there side effects or risks?

As with any medical treatment, side effects can occur. Most people experience mild redness, swelling or a warm sensation in the treated area. These effects are usually short-lived and settle within a few hours to a couple of days. In rare cases, there may be a risk of hyperpigmentation, scarring or prolonged sensitivity, especially for those with darker skin or a history of skin reactions.
