Laser hair removal, beyond long pulse technology. Safe and painless for everyone.

What is it?

The Fotona FRAC3 utilises a proprietary sub millisecond long pulse 1064nm laser to destroy hair follicles. This is an improvement beyond the existing effective long pulse Nd-YAG (VERSA3) with a clinical paper showing improved results and less pain. Read about it here https://www.fotona.com/us/treatments/2292/permanent-hair-reduction/.

This is a doctor only procedure as it involves a laser. Compared to IPL hair removal, laser hair removal is less painful and safe for all skin types. IPL can only be used for lighter skin types.

What can it be used for?

Excessive and unwanted hair over:

  • Facial areas such as the upper lip, inter-brow and jawline
  • Armpits
  • Arms and legs
  • Chest and back
  • Belly and pubic areas

How does it work?

The FRAC3 laser delivers permanent unwanted hair reduction by injuring the bulb, the bulge and the outer root sheath of the hair follicle.

A typical session of FRAC3 hair removal starts with shaving the desired treatment area, followed by multiple laser beams. Significant hair removal is achieved from the first session.

The laser permanently removes hair from the very first session. However, because different hairs are at different phases of growth at any one time, this procedure still needs repeat sessions to permanently remove all hairs. However, it does so in considerably less sessions than the IPL takes.

What is the FRAC3 difference?

  • Compared to waxing and epilation – laser hair removal offers more permanent results with less pain and side effects.
  • Compared to IPL hair removal: FRAC3 is safer for all skin types, relatively painless and takes fewer sessions.
  • Compared to existing long pulse Nd-YAG: new FRAC3 pulse duration is even more effective as seen in this study http://www.laserandhealthacademy.com/media/objave/academy/priponke/23_31___eltarky___avalanche_hair_removal___jlaha_2013_1.pdf

FRAC3 achieves this by a 3-D laser effect, concentrating more energy on the hair follicle with minimal surrounding damage

FAQs

How many sessions does it take to treat my condition?

Each unique patient requires a different treatment protocol, related to their skin and hair type. Results are typically seen from the first session but can take 3 to 6 sessions to show optimal and semi-permanent results.

Is it painful?

This laser beams give off a deep warming sensation and is very tolerable. We use the Zimmer air cooler technology to maximise comfort. Numbing cream can be used for those who are worried about pain.

Is there any downtime?

It causes minimal to no downtime depending on your skin type and allows for immediate use of makeup and return to normal activities.

What should I apply to my skin after the laser?

Sunblock is essential after receiving a laser treatment.

How does it compare to other hair removal methods?

When compared to waxing and epilation: it is much more effective, safe and permanent.

When compared to IPL hair removal: it is generally safer for all skin types, relatively painless and takes fewer sessions.

When compared to existing long pulse Nd-YAG: the new FRAC3 pulse duration is even more effective as seen in this study http://www.laserandhealthacademy.com/media/objave/academy/priponke/23_31___eltarky___avalanche_hair_removal___jlaha_2013_1.pdf.
