Dr. Ellene Papazis's practice in Porto now has the first Fotona Dynamis Max in Portugal with an advanced configuration, introducing to the country one of the most complete medical laser platforms for clinical and aesthetic dermatology. Internationally recognised as a top-of-the-range laser system, the Fotona Dynamis Max is established as a reference solution for dermatological treatments of the face and body, based on advanced technology, scientific evidence and high clinical safety.
The arrival of this technology positions the practice as a centre specialising in dermatological laser treatments in Portugal, integrating clinical diagnosis, energy-based therapy and personalised protocols adapted to each patient.
Fotona: a world reference in medical laser technology
Founded in 1964, Fotona is one of the pioneering companies in the development of medical laser systems, widely recognised for its precision engineering, advanced thermal control and high safety standards. The brand is present across multiple medical specialties and sustains its innovation through continuous research, technological development and internationally validated protocols.
Fotona systems are frequently associated with high clinical predictability, comfort during procedures and the capacity for therapeutic personalisation, essential characteristics in modern dermatology.
The choice of the Fotona Dynamis Max reflects not only a technological decision but a strategic medical one, aligned with the principles of safety, efficacy and individualisation of treatment.
According to Dr. Ellene Papazis:
“The choice of the Fotona Dynamis Max was based on three fundamental pillars: safety, reliability and the capacity for personalisation. It is a platform that allows us to treat everything from clinical dermatological conditions to advanced aesthetic indications, always with rigorous control of energy and respect for the physiology of the skin. For me, that is essential: to treat with precision, but also with responsibility.”
Dual technology and action across multiple layers of the skin
The Fotona Dynamis Max combines two wavelengths considered the gold standard in laser dermatology:
Nd:YAG 1064 nm: acts at depth, indicated for vascular lesions, inflammatory acne, rosacea, laxity and collagen stimulation.
Er:YAG 2940 nm: acts more superficially and precisely, ideal for resurfacing, scars, stretch marks and improvement of skin texture.
The integration of these technologies allows a three-dimensional approach to the skin, treating the epidermis, dermis and deeper structures at the same time, significantly broadening the therapeutic possibilities in clinical and aesthetic dermatology.
The system also incorporates advanced technologies such as:
DMC™ Cooling: controlled cooling of the skin, increasing comfort and safety
MatrixView®: real-time thermal monitoring
Dynamic Vacuum Technology: optimisation of body treatments with controlled suction
SMOOTH® Mode: non-ablative heating for tissue regeneration
PIANO® Mode: homogeneous deep heating for laxity
Clinical dermatology with laser: face and body
In clinical dermatology, the Fotona Dynamis Max makes it possible to treat a broad spectrum of skin conditions with high precision:
Active acne (reduction of inflammation and sebum control)
Rosacea (redness, visible vessels and chronic inflammation)
Vascular lesions (telangiectasias, small vessels, the vascular component of the skin)
Hyperpigmentation (sun spots, melasma and unevenness of tone)
Scars (acne, surgical, traumatic)
Stretch marks (early and late stage)
Changes in skin texture and quality
Treatment and removal of lesions
Treatment of onychomycosis (nail fungus)
Treatment of common warts and condylomas
These treatments can be carried out on both the face and the body, with parameters adjusted to the phototype, the depth of the lesion and the individual response of the skin.
Aesthetic dermatology: rejuvenation, firmness and skin quality
On the aesthetic side, the platform allows non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments focused on skin regeneration and overall improvement of the skin:
Facial rejuvenation (improvement of firmness, texture and radiance)
Treatment of facial and body laxity
Stimulation of collagen and elastin
Periocular treatment (the area around the eyes: fine lines and laxity)
Lip definition and improvement of skin quality
Body contouring and skin firmness
Reduction of localised fat
Hair stimulation (alopecia and hair loss)
Fotona protocols: technology applied to clinical practice
The Fotona Dynamis Max makes it possible to carry out exclusive protocols, widely recognised in aesthetic and dermatological medicine:
Fotona4D®: a non-surgical facial rejuvenation protocol acting on four dimensions of the skin (intraoral, deep dermal, medium and superficial), promoting lifting and overall improvement of skin quality.
SmoothEye®: non-invasive treatment of the periocular region (around the eyes), reducing fine lines and promoting firmness.
LipLase®: laser lip stimulation to improve the volume, definition and quality of the lips, without injectables.
HAIRestart®: a protocol to stimulate hair growth, promoting vascularisation and follicular activity.
TightSculpting® Nx: a combination of deep and superficial heating for the reduction of localised fat and improvement of body laxity.
NightLase®: non-invasive treatment of snoring, acting on the tissues of the upper airway.
In addition to these protocols, technological modes such as FRAC3® (deep fractional stimulation) and SupErficial™ (light resurfacing) allow each treatment to be personalised according to clinical need.
Photobiomodulation and regenerative applications
The platform also allows approaches based on photobiomodulation, using low-intensity laser energy to stimulate biological processes such as tissue regeneration, healing and inflammatory modulation.
This approach has applications in dermatology (healing, inflammation, regeneration), after procedures and also in an intraoral context, where it can be used as support in healing processes and pain control, according to specific protocols.
Complementary applications and a multidisciplinary approach
Beyond dermatology, the Fotona Dynamis Max can be used as a therapeutic complement in:
Vascular treatments
Functional gynaecology (laxity, tissue regeneration)
Post-operative plastic surgery (healing and skin quality)
The versatility of the platform allows an integrated and personalised approach, aligned with contemporary medicine based on technology and evidence.
Dermatology based on technology and science
The introduction of the Fotona Dynamis Max represents a significant advance for dermatology in Portugal, making it possible to combine clinical knowledge, advanced laser technology and therapeutic personalisation.
At Dr. Ellene Papazis's practice, this technology is now integrated into an approach that values the skin as a living, complex and individual system, reinforcing dermatological care that is more precise, safer and adapted to each patient.
