Acne and Acne Scars
Acne is a common problem that has affected most of us at one point or another. With individualized Fotona laser treatments, both active acne and acne scars can be successfully dealt with. Through controlled heating, the laser treatment will reduce the inflammation caused by acne and target overactive oil production glands (sebaceous glands). Without any medication needed, the acne laser treatment will stimulate collagen and help combat acne – for the long term! The Fotona laser also effectively diminishes and reduces acne scars, gently resurfacing the area to improve skin texture and overall appearance. The acne scar laser treatment lifts off the layers of damaged, acne-scarred skin, allowing the healthy skin underneath to be revealed. Depending on the severity of the scars, patients may have to return for a few treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The recovery period after each treatment is short, and minimal downtime is required. Other than some redness and swelling, most patients return to their normal routine and are simply careful to apply sunscreen daily to protect the fresh skin and avoid direct sunlight.
Scar Treatment
Our delicate skin is easily damaged throughout our lifetime with some of those cuts and scrapes inevitably leaving a telltale scar behind. Scar treatment and scar revision therapy with a laser treatment is the best way to treat scars. The laser treatment will use light energy that heats the scarred area, stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin. The damaged skin is lifted away, revealing smoother skin after the laser treatments. Larger, more dramatic scars may need several Fotona laser procedures in order to obtain optimal results.
