Acne Treatments and Acne Scar Removal

We offer a laser acne treatment protocol that provides a truly comprehensive solution to the problem of acne. Our precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser light safely penetrates skin to effectively target overactive sebaceous glands and to reduce the risk of developing new acne inflammation.


For improving the appearance of acne scars, we offer 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, our laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photoselective absorption and controlled heating effects. Our 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 and Effective Acne Scar Revision

For treating problematic acne scars, our 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.

Simple and Effective Skin Resurfacing

Recent developments in laser technology are now delivering a longer lasting and scientifically proven method of restoring the natural beauty of the skin. Unlike traditional treatments such as dermabrasion and chemical peels, the unique characteristics of laser skin resurfacing allow more accurate and precise control over the treatment process.


Skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments can be performed either in ablative modes with an Er:YAG laser or non-ablatively with a Nd:YAG laser, depending on the particular aesthetic outcome that you and your practitioner wish to achieve. In addition, ablative and non-ablative treatments can also be combined into a comprehensive anti-aging treatment, such as Fotona’s TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation system.


Introducing TwinLight Fractional Rejuvenation

Past skin rejuvenation procedures treated large areas of skin, whether aged or not. But with Fotona’s revolutionary TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation method, the laser light precisely targets imperfections in the skin, leaving the surrounding healthy skin untouched. The heat from the laser energy also stimulates the production of new collagen in the dermis, and the surrounding untreated skin helps to speed the rejuvenation process.


A Simple and Effective 3-Step Solution

TwinLight® Fractional Rejuvenation is a simple three-step procedure optimized to significantly improve skin smoothness and give a fresher, healthier look. The deep heating effect of Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser beam helps rejuvenate and stimulate the skin, while the Er:YAG beam helps the body to form new, tighter skin.


  • Step 1: An Nd:YAG beam is passed along the surface twice. The first pass provides a short stimulus to the skin, the second pass penetrates the tissue, causing deep FRAC3 heating and conditioning the skin for an effective fractional treatment therapy.
  • Step 2: Fractional therapy. Old, worn-out skin is ablated away by a fractional Er:YAG laser. The precise micro-ablated channels will be replaced with new, tighter, and healthier tissue as new skin forms.
  • Step 3: The skin is ablated with a light-full Er:YAG beam, which finishes the treatment and removes superficial imperfections.


Using fractional light to rejuvenate the skin can produce an effect that is perfectly graded to your expectations and offers a degree of control and efficacy that allows for highly precise sculpting of the skin. Treatments can extend from light touch-ups to deep collagen remodeling, ideal for people who want drastic rejuvenation effects, but are not inclined towards aggressive surgical or chemical alternatives.


This treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, with minimal patient downtime.

The minimally invasive nature of laser scar-revision treatments means that they are well tolerated by patients. Faster recovery times allow the psychological impact of scar revision treatments to be realized much sooner.


Harnessing the Medical Power of Light

Lasers are ideally suited for the effective treatment of a wide range of scar tissues. Er:YAG skin resurfacing is used for gentle ablation of scar tissue and activation of collagen remodeling. Acne scars in particular respond well to Er:YAG treatments. For hypertrophic scars, clinical research conducted with the Nd:YAG wavelength show further improvement in the aesthetic appearance and overall tissue quality of a scar, including erythema, volume, pliability, etc.


A Synergistic Treatment Solution

With our dual-wavelength scar-revision therapy, both nonablative Nd:YAG and fractional-ablative Er:YAG wavelengths are combined as part of a single comprehensive scar-treatment regimen, with immediate visible results that surpass that of traditional laser-based and conventional scar treatment techniques.


Dual-wavelength scar treatment therapies provide a highly effective solution that not only addresses a scar’s aesthetic appearance but also helps to resolve complicating factors with the scar’s vascular feeding system.

Rejuvenate Your Skin With Facial Peels

A facial peel is the application of a chemical mixture containing specific acid that targets superficial layers of the skin, and allows for a new layer of skin cells and collagen to form. It also helps skin to remain hydrated and absorb skincare products more easily.


Facial peels are a great way to rejuvenate skin and enhance its appearance. Depending on the strength of the acid and depth of penetration, they can be divided into three types: superficial, medium, and deep. Superficial or medium peels have minimum downtime, while deep peels have a more profound result, but requires more downtime.


There are several conditions that peels can help with, such as:


  • Age spots
  • Wrinkles
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation


To decide which peel is best for your skin type, consult our aesthetician.

Vascular and Facial Lesions Removal

Laser treatments are now a routine procedure for the removal of many types of vascular lesions, such as:


  • Spider and reticular veins on the legs and face
  • Hemangiomas
  • Vascular malformations like port-wine stains
  • Telangiectasias
  • Venous lakes
  • Angiomas


Safe, Effective and Minimally Invasive

The energy from the laser is absorbed by the blood in the vein, converted into heat, and the vein walls are subsequently destroyed. In comparison with other wavelengths, which mainly affect the surface layers of a lesion, Nd:YAG light also targets the underlying vascular feeding system, which is important for ensuring the long-term efficacy of the treatment.


This process is perfectly safe as other healthy veins supply blood to the treated area and the body’s immune system clears away the dead tissue just as with a bruise.
