Autumn 2009 has seen the successful launch of Fotona’s latest Erbium:YAG-based laser system, XS Dynamis, in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Initial market response indicates that the XS Dynamis represents highly innovative laser workstation that fulfils practitioners’ needs by providing a complete solution for ablative, as well as non-ablative, skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments.

Laser & Health Academy experts, in cooperation with the Josef Stefan Institute’s Light and Matter Department and the University of Ljubljana’s Biotechnical Faculty have published a paper outlining the results of their study on the physical properties of Quasi Continuous Wave pulsed, 1064 nm, Nd:YAG laser in lipolysis.

Fotona and the European Society for Laser Dermatology (ESLD) have engaged in an agreement through which Fotona becomes an official industry member of the organization.

Dr. Ron Kaminer is the Newest Expert Clinical Lecturer for the Laser and Health Academy. In his inaugural lecture he presented a series of cases.
