WHAT IS DEEP FRACTIONAL RESURFACING?

Fotona deep fractional resurfacing is a laser treatment that targets the skin to improve its texture, tone, and overall appearance. It uses fractional laser technology, which delivers microbeams of laser energy into the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This stimulates collagen production and promotes skin regeneration. 

​

The "deep" aspect refers to the laser's ability to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, making it effective for treating more significant skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. The treatment is typically more intensive than superficial fractional resurfacing, often requiring some downtime for healing.

​

Patients may experience benefits like smoother skin, reduced fine lines, and improved skin elasticity. Results can vary, and multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal outcomes. Always consult with a qualified dermatologist or aesthetic professional to discuss individual needs and expectations.

HOW DOES IT TREAT ACTIVE ACNE?

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

HOW DOES IT TREAT ACNE SCARS?

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.

The following dual-wavelength laser systems from Fotona are ideal for providing a full range of acne laser treatments as well as many other skin resurfacing and rejuvenation treatments

HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS?

The number of sessions needed for Fotona deep fractional resurfacing can vary based on individual skin concerns and goals. Typically, patients may require anywhere from 2 to 5 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
