ABOUT THIS TREATMENT

Fotona offers a laser acne treatment protocol that provides a truly comprehensive solution to the problem of acne. Fotona’s precisely controlled laser light safely penetrates the skin to target overactive sebaceous glands effectively and reduces the risk of developing new acne inflammation.

For improving the appearance of acne scars, Fotona offers a complementary laser treatment based on a precise and gentle skin resurfacing procedure in which the top micro-layers of the skin absorb a laser beam to vaporize scarred tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis.

BENEFITS

Fotona’s laser treatment reduces acne inflammation for active acne through photoselective absorption and controlled heating effects. Fotona’s high-powered Nd:YAG laser safely penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to thermally and selectively destroy overactive sebaceous glands. In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd:YAG acne laser treatment also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling, an essential step in the long-term treatment of acne.

 

To treat acne scars effectively, Fotona’s Er:YAG laser is an excellent option as it provides a gentle and precise method for scar revision. This laser wavelength is ideal for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, improving its texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows for precise control over the depth of penetration. The laser uncovers healthy and undamaged skin beneath the scars by gently vaporizing thin layers of the affected skin. Laser resurfacing is a quick, safe, and uncomplicated procedure.
