Fotona Hair Removal®

Fotona laser hair removal can be used on many areas of the face and body where unwanted hair is a concern. Common treatment areas include: Upper lip Chin Face Neck Underarms Arms Legs Bikini area Back Chest Abdomen Small areas can often be treated relatively quickly, while larger areas require additional treatment time. Your provider will evaluate the desired treatment area and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

For patients who regularly shave, wax, tweeze, or use other temporary methods of hair removal, laser treatment can provide a more convenient long-term approach. Potential benefits include: Long-lasting hair reduction Reduced hair density Finer and less noticeable regrowth Smoother-looking skin Less frequent shaving and waxing Treatment of both facial and body areas Non-surgical treatment Personalized treatment settings Results vary between individuals, and laser hair removal should be considered a method of long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that every treated hair will be permanently eliminated.

During treatment, patients may experience brief sensations of warmth or heat as laser energy is delivered to the targeted hair follicles. The sensation can vary depending on the treatment area, hair thickness, hair density, individual sensitivity, and laser settings. Your provider will select appropriate treatment parameters based on your individual hair and skin characteristics while following established laser safety protocols.

Proper preparation can help support safe and effective laser hair removal. Patients are generally advised to follow their provider's instructions regarding sun exposure and hair-removal methods before treatment. Because the laser needs to target the hair follicle, methods that remove the hair from the root, such as waxing or tweezing, may interfere with treatment. Shaving may be recommended instead when appropriate. Certain medications, skincare products, recent tanning, and medical conditions may also affect treatment suitability. Always provide your provider with an accurate medical history and information about medications and skincare products before treatment.
