Let us answer some of your
Frequently Asked Questions

  • Fotona Fractional Laser Resurfacing is a cosmetic procedure that uses the Er:YAG laser to improve skin texture and tone. The laser precisely and gently vaporizes micron-thin layers of the skin's surface, revealing healthy, undamaged skin below. This treatment is effective in addressing wrinkles, skin texture issues, and acne scars.

  • Fotona Fractional Laser Resurfacing delivers precise columns of laser energy into the skin, sparing the skin between these columns. This targeted approach minimizes downtime and risks while engaging the body's wound-healing response. The laser stimulates the production of new collagen and skin tissues, resulting in an improvement in wrinkles, skin texture, and tone.

  • The benefits of fractional lasers in skin resurfacing include:

    • Precise and controlled treatment

    • Faster healing compared to traditional methods

    • Minimized downtime

    • Reduced risks

    • Targeted improvement of wrinkles, skin texture, and tone

    • Effective for aged skin and textural concerns such as acne scars

  • In traditional laser resurfacing, the entire skin surface is treated, leading to a longer recovery period and higher risks. Fotona Fractional Laser Resurfacing, on the other hand, delivers precise columns of laser energy, sparing the skin between these columns. This results in faster healing, minimized downtime, and reduced risks.

  • While there may be some downtime associated with Fotona Fractional Laser Resurfacing, it is typically minimized compared to traditional laser resurfacing. Patients may experience redness and minor swelling, but these effects are temporary, and individuals can usually resume normal activities after a short recovery period.
