Fotona Laser
in O'Fallon, IL
What is Fotona laser treatment?
Fotona is a state-of-the-art skincare laser treatment that combines two complementary wavelengths — Er:YAG and Nd:YAG — to address a wide range of skin concerns. Fotona was the first manufacturer to integrate these wavelengths into a single system, combining their unique characteristics and benefits to deliver highly effective, minimally invasive treatments. By targeting different layers of the skin, Fotona treatments can rejuvenate, resurface, and repair the skin for exceptional clinical results.
What can Fotona laser treat?
Fotona laser technology includes modes and applications for different skin and body concerns. At Forefront it is used for body contouring, as well as fractionated and fully ablative treatments.

Fotona body contouring treatments use the laser to reduce fat, tighten skin, and enhance the body’s natural shape. This is a safe treatment designed to:
- Penetrate deep into the skin and fat layers: The laser energy heats targeted tissues, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin.
- Encourage natural fat reduction: Controlled heat damages fat cells, which the body then metabolizes and eliminates over time.
- Firm and smooth problem areas: Effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and neck.
Body contouring treatments are generally pain-free with little or no downtime required for recovery. They are typically performed in a series of sessions for the best results.
Fotona laser fractionated & fully ablative treatments
These Fotona treatments are effective for a wide range of concerns from skin resurfacing to scar or tattoo removal, and even vaginal rejuvenation.
Fractionated treatments target only small fractions of the skin at a time and are effective for fine lines, scars, and pigmentation problems.
Fully ablative treatments are designed for extensive resurfacing of the skin. With these treatments, the laser removes the outer layers of skin entirely, promoting the growth of new, smoother skin.
Your Forefront provider will discuss your goals and overall health before recommending a fractionated or fully ablative treatment plan. The Fotona laser can provide:
- Permanent laser hair removal
- Scar revision
- Vascular anomaly (e.g., birthmark) removal
- Pigmented lesion removal
- Acne treatment
- Tattoo removal
- Onychomycosis (toe nail fungus) treatment
- Eye-lase (tightening of eyelids with removal of wrinkles)
- Wart removal
- Soft palate treatment for snoring and sleep apnea
- Vaginal tightening and stress urinary incontinence treatment
What is treatment with a Fotona laser like?
A Fotona laser treatment begins with a consultation with a Forefront skincare expert to determine your skin type, overall health, and specific concerns. During the procedure, the dual wavelengths of the Fotona system work together to target different layers of the skin.
Most patients describe little discomfort other than a warm sensation during the procedure, and a numbing cream may be applied for added comfort. There is little to no downtime required after your procedure.
Depending on your specific treatment, sessions can last 30 minutes to an hour, with multiple sessions recommended for optimal results.
What results can you expect?
When performed by a Forefront skincare expert, Fotona laser treatments deliver noticeable improvements to your skin’s appearance and health. Immediately after the procedure, your skin may look refreshed and feel smoother and tighter. After some procedures, fat may be reduced in the treated area. Over the following weeks, as collagen production continues, you can expect smoother texture, firmer skin, and reduced imperfections like wrinkles, scars, or pigmentation.
Results vary based on the individual and the specific treatment plan, but with regular sessions, Fotona laser treatments can provide long-term rejuvenation and anti-aging benefits.
