Our Fotona lasers are used to deliver a patented deep energy (smooth mode) and can tighten skin, as it certainly lifts and tightens skin on the face and neck. Moreover there are other fields of medicine which have seen successful results utilising the unique functions of the Fotona Laser. Reporting of its uses in other areas of medicine has grown significantly with an increase in published papers. We at Transform have been enjoying offering these services over the years and want to inform you about some of these treatments:
To help snoring and for a restful nights sleep. We know how important sleep is for our health and sleep apnoea creates serious health dangers. We recommend a sleep monitor for best diagnosis - check out the Snore Lab app for your smart phone.
NightLase uses our laser to treat the soft palate to make it stiffen up as a floppy palate is one of the most common causes of snoring. Treatment takes less than 30 mins, is likened to have a hot cup of coffee so little or no discomfort.
Performed as a course of 3 treatments, 2 weeks apart between the first 2 treatments then a third treatment, 4 weeks later. Cost $2038 for the course. Maintenance to maintain and further improve the result is suggested by having one treatment every 6 months ($750 per treatment).
It has always been difficult to destroy fungal growth embedded under the toenails, but since adding the penetration of deep laser energy we are seeing greater success rates. Best result often in combination with other anti-fungal medications - 3 sessions recommended at $330 per session.
We have invested in a special gynaecological applicator that is placed in a vaginal speculum to fire laser energy on to the vaginal wall. This used for peri-menopausal vaginal atrophy and dryness and can help you return to a more comfortable time in intimacy. We recommend 3 sessions, 1 month apart and then once every 6 months. Intimalase is $530 per session.
Additionally, there is a treatment option for stress incontinence by performing the Intimalase treatment but then also treating the anterior vaginal wall with a more advanced setting. Incontilase - $920 per session, 2 sessions recommended, 1 month apart. Available at our Riccarton clinic only.
Especially with recent concerns in the use of mesh to stiffen tissue, this laser technique has been given more attention. It is more or less harmless, so why not give it a go and see what the laser can do for you!
Fotona have a dedicated website for the Gynaecological treatments - check it out for more information at Fotona SMOOTH.
