Laser treatment of acne

Acne is a problem that can affect people of all ages, impacting on life comfort and self-confidence.

With the Fotona laser, we can effectively and safely treat both acne vulgaris and rosacea, improving skin condition and reducing hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Laser acne treatment is a modern method that combines anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and regenerative effects. The Fotona laser acts on the deep layers of the skin, eliminating the bacteria responsible for acne lesions, reducing excessive sebum production and stimulating regenerative processes. The treatment is safe, precise and effective even in cases resistant to other therapies.

Who is this treatment for?

Laser acne treatment is dedicated to people:

  • Those struggling with acne vulgaris, both in the active phase and with residual acne such as scars or hyperpigmentation.
  • Sufferers of rosacea, which is characterised by redness of the skin, visible capillaries and inflammation.
  • Those looking for non-invasive and effective therapies that improve the appearance of the skin without a long recovery.

Acne vulgaris and rosacea - how does the laser work?

  • Acne vulgaris: The Fotona laser destroys the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria responsible for inflammation, while reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands. As a result, the skin becomes clearer, less oily and the risk of new lesions is reduced.
  • Acne rosacea: The laser has an anti-inflammatory effect and shrinks blood vessels, reducing the redness and inflammation characteristic of this condition.

What it looks like
course of treatment?

  1. Initial consultation - the doctor assesses the condition of the skin and qualifies the patient for the procedure.
  2. Skin preparation - cleansing and possible use of local anaesthesia (although most patients find the procedure comfortable).
  3. The actual treatment - the doctor precisely directs the laser beam to the area affected by the lesion, working on the deep layers of the skin.
  4. Completion - after the treatment, soothing preparations are applied to the skin.

The duration of the treatment is approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area.

Recuperation:

After the treatment, the skin may be slightly red and irritated, but these symptoms disappear within a few days. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure for about four weeks and to use creams with a high UV filter. In most cases, patients can return to their daily activities the very next day after the procedure.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Laser treatment of acne is usually well tolerated. Patients describe only a mild warm or tingling sensation. An anaesthetic cream can be applied if necessary.
The number of treatments depends on the severity of the acne. A series of 3-6 treatments at intervals of 1-2 weeks is most commonly recommended.

The effects are long-lasting, especially if the patient follows the doctor's advice on skin care and lifestyle. However, in the case of rosacea, repeat treatments may be needed.
