Fotona Acne Scar Active Acne Laser Treatment

Fotona acne laser treatment is a comprehensive approach that utilizes laser technology to address both active acne and acne scars.

It works by targeting overactive sebaceous glands, reducing inflammation by targeting mast cells, and promoting skin renewal for more clear skin.

How It Works

The Fotona is a combination of two YAG laser frequencies. The Nd:YAG works on the active acne.

It precisely heats and shrinks overactive sebaceous glands. This will lower excess oil production, a key factor in acne development.

This also helps to reduce inflammation and the growth of acne-causing bacteria.

The Er:YAG laser is then utilized for skin resurfacing, removing damaged tissue and stimulating collagen production.

This will eventually smooth out acne scar tissue and improve skin texture.

Who Is a Good Candidate

Good candidates for Fotona acne laser treatment are:

  • Individuals with mild to moderate acne
  • Those who have not seen desired results from other treatments
  • People who are looking for a drug free effective acne treatment
  • People looking to address both active acne and acne scars

What To Expect During Treatment

The Fotona acne treatment is very tolerable. The laser generates a mild heat sensation.

Patients are comfortable and this acne laser treatment requires no topical numbing. The skin is left slightly pink in some cases and will be prone to flushing for 24 hours.

How Many Fotona Acne Laser Treatments Are Needed

The Fotona acne laser treatment will require four treatments at two-week intervals. The treatments can then be spread out for maintenance.

First spacing them out for a month, then two months, then as needed for each individual.

Acne scars will be treated two to three times as needed.

Pre and Post Treatment

The Fotona acne laser treatments cannot be done with sun exposure. The sun must be avoided for two weeks prior and during the initial four treatments.

We cannot work on tan skin. A tan can cause complications such as hyperpigmentation and a chance of burning your skin.
