Fotona SP Dynamis: Price, Specs, FDA Clearance and Alternatives
SP Dynamis is Fotona’s two-wavelength laser platform: Er:YAG (2940 nm) for resurfacing and Nd:YAG (1064 nm) for deeper heating, hair, vessels and Fotona 4D facial protocols, plus a surgical QCW Nd:YAG. The current Nx line adds water-spray cooling, thermal sensors in the handpieces and a vacuum option.
The short answer
SP Dynamis is cleared in Fotona’s Dynamis family, most recently in September 2026. Its Er:YAG covers resurfacing and soft tissue procedures; its Nd:YAG covers vessels, laser lipolysis, wrinkles, acne and permanent hair reduction on skin types I to VI. Fotona 4D is a protocol name, not a cleared use, and Fotona doesn’t publish prices.
Who should buy an SP Dynamis?
Shortlist it if
- You want light peels to full resurfacing, plus Nd:YAG work, on one platform.
- Your providers will invest in Fotona’s technique training for protocols such as Fotona 4D.
- A physician will use the surgical laser for procedures such as laser lipolysis.
Compare another option if
- You want erbium resurfacing plus non-ablative wavelengths on a modular platform: compare HALO TRIBRID.
- Hair removal is your main service: compare the GentleMax Pro Plus.
Our take: the widest range here, if you use it
SP Dynamis does more than most single lasers, and you pay for that range. Two wavelengths, more than 100 treatment options and a built-in surgical laser make it a flagship. The published work is mostly small protocol studies, such as a 13-woman 3D imaging study of Fotona 4D that found partial rebound by six months.
Decide which treatments you will sell in year one and price only those handpieces and scanners. Results depend on technique, so before you sign, talk to two owners about how long it took their providers to get consistent results.

SP Dynamis specifications at a glance
Before you compare
| Specification | SP Dynamis | What it means for your practice |
|---|---|---|
| Er:YAG | 2940 nm; layer-by-layer ablation from light peels to full resurfacing, plus SMOOTH mode for non-ablative heating (Fotona) | Covers light to deep resurfacing with one laser. |
| Nd:YAG | 1064 nm for hair reduction, vessels, skin tightening and Fotona 4D protocols (Fotona) | Fotona 4D combines both lasers in one facial session. |
| Surgical laser | QCW Nd:YAG for laser lipolysis and endovenous ablation, standard on SP Dynamis (Fotona) | Surgical uses need a trained physician. |
| Cooling (Nx) | Dry Spray Molecular Cooling with room-temperature air and water; no consumables (Fotona) | No cryogen or gel to buy. |
| Range | More than 100 treatment options through handpieces and scanners (Fotona) | Each handpiece and scanner is a line item. |
| Hair reduction | Nd:YAG cleared for permanent hair reduction on skin types I to VI (FDA record) |

SP Dynamis clinical studies
Published studies we found on this system, its earlier models and related technology, each labeled by what it tested. Most are small, and some have manufacturer-affiliated authors, so use them to frame questions for the demo rather than as proof of results.
What we found: None on this system; 1 on an earlier model, 1 on related technology.
- Earlier model: SP Spectro, the compact siblingFox eyes lift-A new protocol for eyebrow elevation with laser FotonaTwo brow protocols on Fotona’s SP Spectro, the compact sibling of SP Dynamis with the same two wavelengths; both raised the brow, one more than the other.
- Related technology: Fotona 4D protocol; platform not namedThree-Dimensional Imaging of Dynamic Changes After Nd:YAG/Er:YAG Laser Skin Tightening: A Prospective StudyFour Fotona 4D sessions; 3D imaging measured about 0.6 mm of lift around the eyes at 3 months, with partial rebound by 6 months.

How much does an SP Dynamis cost?
| Price evidence | What we found |
|---|---|
| New system (manufacturer quote) | Fotona does not publish prices, and we found no reliable public price for a new SP Dynamis. |
| Used (asking prices) | One US dealer listed an SP Dynamis at $129,950 (asking price, observed November 7, 2026; year, model line and handpieces not shown). One listing is not a market price. |
| Documented sale prices | None found. |

What ownership adds after purchase
| Cost area | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Handpieces and scanners | Price each handpiece and scanner your menu needs; they set what you can offer. |
| Upgrades | Ask what surgical, gynecology and vacuum upgrades cost later. |
| Training | Fotona protocols are technique-heavy; ask how many training days and workshops are included. |
| Service | Ask who services Fotona in your region and what it costs after the warranty. |
SP Dynamis alternatives to compare
| Device | Technology | Why compare it |
|---|---|---|
| Sciton HALO TRIBRID | 2940 / 1927 / 1470 nm resurfacing | Sciton’s hybrid handpiece with 2940 nm erbium plus non-ablative wavelengths. |
| Alma Hybrid | CO2 (10,600 nm) and 1570 nm fractional laser | Alma’s CO2 and 1570 nm resurfacing laser. |
| Candela GentleMax Pro Plus | 755 nm alexandrite / 1064 nm Nd:YAG | Candela’s 755 and 1064 nm system if hair removal is the main job. |
Different technologies are not interchangeable. Compare configurations, cleared uses and ownership costs before you book demos.
