Acne: what is it?

Acne is a common skin disease that affects many people throughout their lives. Many factors can be at the origin of this complex and perpetual cycle, leading to hormonal fluctuation which stimulates oil production. This phenomenon is more common among adolescents, but can affect people of all ages, more or less severely. Too often, those affected fiddle with their pimples and blemishes because of their unsightly appearance. Unfortunately, this habit can increase inflammation and, in extreme cases, leave permanent scarring.

How can laser treatment help clear up my acne?

Fotona laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photo-selective absorption and a controlled heating system. The laser penetrates the skin safely until reaching an optimal treatment depth to thermally destroy the targeted overactive sebaceous glands. Additionally, the treatment accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling, an important step in long-term acne treatment.

What if I have acne scars?

Fotona laser treatment is ideal for helping light scars disappear. It penetrates the skin safely and effectively to gently bring out acne-marked skin, which helps improve its texture and color. Unlike chemical exfoliations and dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing allows the practitioner to precisely control the depth of laser penetration. The laser gently vaporizes thin layers less than 1 micron thick from the acne-marked surface to reveal the healthy, intact skin beneath.

What can I expect from this treatment?

Everyone is different, but during this treatment you may experience minimal or slight discomfort. Immediately after treatment, your skin may experience some redness or swelling, which will subside after a few hours. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. It is best to avoid direct exposure to sunlight during the few days following treatment and to apply sunscreen.
