Fotona HairRestart

Fotona

Non-ablative Er:YAG SMOOTH pulses to stimulate dormant follicles.

HairRestart is Fotona's scalp protocol using 2940 nm Er:YAG in non-ablative SMOOTH mode, delivering controlled heat without wounding the surface. The operator paints the scalp in sessions repeated every two weeks for six to ten treatments. It runs on the SP Dynamis and StarWalker platforms rather than being a standalone device.
