Which Laser Treatment Is Right for Me? A Simple Guide
At Platinum Cosmetics, we offer a range of Fotona laser treatments, each designed to treat different concerns — from collagen loss to pigmentation, dullness, scarring, and more.
But if you’re not sure which treatment is right for your skin, you’re not alone. Here’s a clear guide to help you understand your options, based on your skin type and goals.
Concern: Fine Lines, Wrinkles or Skin Laxity
Recommended: Fotona 4D or SmoothEye
These treatments stimulate deep collagen production using heat-based energy.
Fotona 4D targets multiple layers of the face — inside and out — for tightening, lifting and volumising
SmoothEye is a gentle, non-invasive treatment specifically for crepey, delicate skin around the eyes
Great for: Ageing or mature skin, skin laxity, and tired-looking eyes
Concern: Lip Volume or Definition Without Injectables
Recommended: LipLase
If you want fuller, more defined lips without needles, LipLase is a great option. It boosts natural volume and hydration through internal and external lip heating.
Great for: Fine lips, dry lips, and clients seeking natural, subtle results
Concern: Pigmentation, Sun Spots, or Uneven Tone
Recommended: Pigment Removal Laser (Nd:YAG)
Fotona’s long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser can penetrate deep into the skin to break down melanin clusters — which is what causes uneven tone and age spots.
Great for: Fitzpatrick skin types I–IV with stable pigmentation
Concern: Dullness, Rough Texture, or Acne Scarring
Recommended: Fractional Resurfacing (Er:YAG)
This laser works by creating controlled micro-damage to the skin’s surface, stimulating regeneration and collagen formation.
Great for: Textural concerns, post-acne scarring, enlarged pores
Note: Some downtime may be required depending on depth
Concern: Redness or Rosacea-Like Flushing
Recommended: Vascular Laser (Nd:YAG)
This targets visible capillaries and diffused redness by heating and collapsing the small blood vessels under the skin.
Great for: Flushed cheeks, broken capillaries, post-inflammatory redness
Concern: Snoring or Sleep Disruption
Recommended: NightLase
Fotona’s unique NightLase treatment gently tightens the soft tissues at the back of the throat to improve airflow during sleep — all without surgery or devices.
Great for: Mild to moderate snoring, clients looking for a non-invasive option
