Fotona Acne Treatment Overview

Acne is one of the most common and frustrating skin conditions, affecting individuals of all ages. While breakouts are often linked to hormonal changes, excess oil production, and bacteria, traditional treatments like topical creams and oral medications may not always deliver lasting results. Fotona Acne Treatments offer an advanced laser-based solution, effectively targeting active acne, inflammation, and acne scars while promoting skin healing and collagen regeneration.

Using dual-wavelength laser technology, Fotona safely and precisely treats the underlying causes of acne, reducing inflammation, eliminating bacteria, and accelerating the skin’s natural renewal process. This non-invasive approach shrinks oil glands, preventing future breakouts while also stimulating collagen to repair post-acne scars for smoother, healthier skin.

At Image Clinic, we personalize each Fotona Acne Treatment to ensure optimal results for your unique skin type and concerns, providing a long-term solution for clearer, brighter skin.

What To Expect

✔ Initial Consultation – Our specialists assess your acne severity, skin type, and history to create a customized laser treatment plan.

✔ Treatment Process – The Fotona laser delivers controlled energy into acne-prone areas, reducing inflammation, destroying acne-causing bacteria, and promoting collagen production. Treatment time varies between 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

✔ Post-Treatment – Expect mild redness and warmth, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. The skin will start to show improvements over the next few weeks as inflammation subsides and collagen regenerates.

How To Prepare

✔ Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment to reduce the risk of irritation.

✔ Discontinue the use of retinoids, exfoliating acids, and acne medications for 5-7 days pre-treatment to minimize sensitivity.

✔ Stay well-hydrated and follow a gentle skincare routine leading up to your appointment.

✔ Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure the best absorption of laser energy.

Aftercare

✔ Apply a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer to soothe the skin and support healing.

✔ Use SPF 30+ daily, as newly treated skin is more vulnerable to UV exposure.

✔ Avoid excessive heat exposure, including hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts, for 48 hours post-treatment.

Refrain from picking or squeezing acne lesions, as this can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

✔ Continue with a simple, gentle skincare routine, avoiding harsh acne treatments for at least one week post-session.

Fotona Acne Treatments for Active Breakouts & Scarring

Acne is not just a surface issue—it results from overactive oil glands, clogged pores, and bacterial infections. Fotona’s advanced dual-laser technology works by addressing both the visible acne and its underlying causes, making it a highly effective treatment for:

Active Acne Breakouts – The laser’s antibacterial effect eliminates P. acnes bacteria, reducing infection and preventing future breakouts.

✔ Inflammation & Redness – Heat energy reduces redness and swelling, calming even severe acne-prone skin.

✔ Acne Scarring – By stimulating collagen regeneration, Fotona helps to smooth out acne scars and improve overall skin texture.
