Laser Hair Reduction with Fotona FRAC3® Technology
Advanced, Long-Lasting Hair Reduction for All Skin Types
At Balanced Skin Dermatology and Aesthetics, we offer advanced laser hair reduction using Fotona's FRAC3® Nd:YAG laser technology, a safe, effective, and clinically proven solution for long-term hair reduction across all skin types, including darker skin tones.
This state-of-the-art laser system delivers powerful results while prioritizing comfort, skin safety, and precision.
What Is FRAC3® Laser Hair Reduction?
FRAC3® Laser Hair Reduction uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with ultra-short, high-intensity pulses designed to selectively target and destroy hair follicles while protecting the surrounding skin. The treatment is optimized to reduce unwanted hair with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Because Nd:YAG energy has low absorption in epidermal melanin, FRAC3’s FRAC3® is uniquely suited for all skin types, including tanned and richly pigmented skin.
How It Works
The laser energy is selectively absorbed by the hair bulb and hair matrix, damaging the follicle at its root and inhibiting future hair growth. FRAC3® technology creates a three-dimensional fractional pattern within the skin, concentrating energy where it is most effective while minimizing heat exposure to surrounding tissue.
Key advantages include:
- Ultra-short pulse durations (<2 milliseconds) for targeted follicle destruction
- Deep penetration to reach even the deepest hair follicles
- Adjustable parameters customized to hair color, thickness, depth, and skin type
- Built-in cooling options to enhance comfort during treatment
Hair follicles treated during the active growth (anagen) phase naturally shed within 2–3 weeks after treatment.
The Avalanche FRAC3® Advantage
For enhanced comfort and safety, Fotona's Avalanche FRAC3® procedure delivers multiple low-energy pulses to the same area during a single session. This gradually increases heat absorption within the hair follicle, allowing for:
- Effective treatment at lower energy levels
- Improved comfort and reduced need for cooling
- Enhanced results for lighter hair and darker skin tones
This approach makes treatments gentler while maintaining powerful, long-lasting outcomes.
