How does Fotona laser resurfacing work?

Fotona laser resurfacing uses the power of light to trigger changes in the deeper layers of your skin. The treatment platform concentrates beams of light using technology that carefully controls the resulting light energy. 

Fotona technology offers a customizable treatment experience. One approach, called ablative resurfacing, uses light energy to immediately remove the outermost layers of dead skin, revealing a layer of fresh, healthy cells. 

Non-ablative treatments use laser energy that penetrates to the deeper layers of your skin. This creates heat that triggers your body’s natural healing response. Your system develops new collagen cells that deliver a plumping and tightening effect, smoothing your skin from within. Treatments can also blast apart areas of hyperpigmentation.  

What kinds of skin issues can be treated using the Fotona laser resurfacing system?

Laser skin resurfacing can address a number of different skin issues at once. Some of the complaints that bring men and women in for this advanced medical aesthetics treatment include:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loose or sagging skin
• Warts
• Birthmarks
• Enlarged pores
• Roughly textured skin
• Dull skin appearance
• Sun damage
• Acne and other scarring

The ability to improve multiple conditions at once is part of why laser skin resurfacing is such a popular medical aesthetics treatment option. 

What is the recovery process like after Fotona laser resurfacing?

It takes some time for your skin to adapt after laser skin resurfacing. You’ll want to take steps to protect against sun exposure, as your skin will be sensitive after your treatment. 

It’s also important to avoid using harsh skin products or any form of exfoliation for a while. Let your skin respond to the changes created by laser skin resurfacing, and for your natural healing reaction to take place. 

A degree of redness, sensitivity, and swelling is normal in the days after your laser skin resurfacing treatment. It can take weeks for your skin to fully heal, but you can resume normal activities swiftly. Dr. Jafari provides in-depth details on what to expect and how to best care for your skin after laser skin resurfacing treatment.
