FOTONA LASER ACNE TREATMENTS
Fotona offers a laser acne treatment protocol that provides a truly comprehensive solution to the problem of acne. Fotona’s precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser light safely penetrates into skin to effectively target overactive sebaceous glands and to reduce 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 an Er:YAG laser beam is absorbed by the top micro-layers of the skin to vaporize scarred tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen in the dermis.
Fast results, Without Side-Effects
For active acne, Fotona’s laser treatment reduces acne inflammation 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 important step in the long-term treatment of acne.
Gentle & Effective Acne Scar Revision
For treating problematic acne scars, Fotona's Er:YAG laser wavelength is ideal for gentle ablative scar revision. The Er:YAG laser safely and effectively provides the minimal penetration depth required for light resurfacing of acne-scarred skin, helping to improve skin texture and tone. Unlike chemical peels and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the penetration depth to be precisely controlled. The laser gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the acne-scarred surface to reveal healthy, undamaged skin below. Laser resurfacing is a fast, safe and simple procedure.
Laser acne treatment
Laser treatment for acne widens the range of treatment options available. In addition to offering treatment to those unable to take (or who have failed) standard therapy as above, the use of laser improves compliance, and reduces the need for long-term antibiotics and retinoid therapy, and do not add to the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance. Our Fotona SP Dynamis laser one of the most powerful lasers for the treatment of acne. The Nd:YAG laser targets P. acne bacteria leading to their death and also causes photothermal damage to the sebaceous gland, resulting in reduced gland size and sebum production.
The use of Fotona Nd:YAG laser is a safe and effective treatment for even severe acne inflammation including papules, comedones, painful nodules and cysts. Every laser session includes six passes with the laser, with mild cold air cooling for comfort. The treatment protocol is two sessions per week in the first month, followed by laser treatments once per week in the second and third month of treatment. The treatment is performed with very little overall discomfort and no downtime. The Nd:YAG laser acne treatment also reduces scar depth and produces a softening of scar contours.
