What is Fotona HAIRestart®?
Understanding the Causes Behind Hair Loss — and How Fotona HAIRestart® Works to Treat Them
Hair loss doesn’t happen overnight. It’s often caused by a combination of factors: stress, genetics, hormonal changes, post-pregnancy shifts, or poor scalp circulation. In many cases, hair follicles aren’t permanently lost — they’re just inactive or weakened.
Fotona HAIRestart® uses controlled thermal laser energy to reactivate those follicles. The light energy stimulates blood flow, oxygenation, and collagen production in the scalp, creating a healthier environment for regrowth. When done early, it can prevent further thinning and improve overall hair quality.
The procedure is performed using the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro, a dual-wavelength medical laser system that is CE-certified and widely used in aesthetic clinics worldwide.
What is Fotona HAIRestart® Treatment Like?
This in-clinic laser procedure is overseen by our medically certified doctors. A customised scalp assessment is performed first to verify suitability. During the treatment, our doctors use the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro in SMOOTH® mode to deliver controlled thermal pulses to the scalp.
You may feel light warmth or tingling during the session, but discomfort is mild. Treatment sessions typically last 20–30 minutes, and there is little to no downtime — many patients return to usual routines immediately.
For optimal results, a series of 6 to 10 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is commonly recommended (depending on hair loss stage). Maintenance sessions may be suggested based on your scalp condition and hair response.
What is Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro?
At Dr. A Clinic, we use the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro — a premium, dual-wavelength laser system from Europe that powers our advanced, medical-grade hair regeneration treatments and is trusted worldwide for both aesthetic and regenerative care.
Nd:YAG wavelength
The Nd:YAG wavelength (≈ 1064 nm) is a key component of the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro system, primarily used in skin treatments to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and improve circulation. While Fotona HAIRestart® focuses on the Er:YAG laser protocols instead for optimal hair regrowth, the Nd:YAG wavelength is applied in other Fotona therapies for facial or body rejuvenation. Learn more about the Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro and its versatile applications for skin and body treatments.
Er:YAG wavelength
The Er:YAG wavelength (≈ 2940 nm) targets the surface level of the skin, helping to improve scalp condition and trigger collagen remodelling in the upper dermis — creating a healthier foundation for hair regrowth.
This dual-wavelength system delivers powerful stimulation deep within the scalp while keeping the surface layer protected — making it one of the most effective non-invasive technologies for early-stage hair loss. Its precision, consistency, and customisable energy levels set it apart from basic laser devices or home-use alternatives.
At Dr. A Clinic, this technology is used exclusively by our certified doctors to deliver visible results safely and comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions
❓Is Fotona HAIRestart® suitable for both men and women?
Yes, Fotona HAIRestart® is clinically safe and effective for both male and female pattern hair loss, including hormonal or stress-related thinning.
❓When will I start seeing results for Fotona HAIRestart®?
Most patients notice reduced hair fall and a healthier scalp within the first 2 to 3 months. Visible thickening, density, and regrowth typically begin to show between 9 to 12 months — depending on your individual scalp condition and treatment consistency.
For enhanced results, our doctors may recommend combining Fotona HAIRestart® with exosome therapy or our Dr. A Hair Care Products, both of which are designed to support follicle regeneration and prolong the active growth phase.
❓Does Fotona HAIRestart® treatments hurt or have downtime?
Discomfort is minimal. Most patients experience a gentle warming or light tingling sensation during the procedure.
There is no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. Some individuals may notice mild scalp flakiness or dryness in the days following treatment as the skin naturally renews. This is a normal part of the healing process and typically resolves within a few days.
❓What if I have advanced hair loss or bald patches?
Fotona HAIRestart® is most effective when hair follicles are still active, even if they’ve become weakened or dormant. For more advanced hair loss, results may vary depending on your scalp condition. Our doctors will assess your suitability during consultation and recommend the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
❓What precautions or aftercare should I follow?
After each session, we recommend avoiding direct sun exposure, excessive heat (like saunas or steam rooms), and harsh scalp products for at least 24 hours to protect your scalp’s recovery process.
To support ongoing results, use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and maintain good scalp hygiene. For best results, our doctors may recommend pairing your laser sessions with the Dr. A™ Hair Care Range, professionally formulated to nourish the scalp, strengthen follicles, and prolong the effects of your Fotona HAIRestart® treatment.
