Active Acne Treatment
Dive into the Tech
The Fotona® Active Acne treatment delivers noticeable improvements in skin clarity and texture after just a few sessions by combining Er:YAG and Nd:YAG technologies, offering a fully customizable approach based on acne severity, skin type, and individual goals.
How it Works
The treatment involves a comprehensive approach consisting of three steps.
STEP 1
Small holes are created in the skin to facilitate deep comedo extraction and the drainage of inflammatory lesions.
STEP 2
The affected sebaceous glands are targeted, thereby reducing local inflammation and causing thermal damage to the sebaceous glands.
STEP 3
The production of cytokines and VEGF helps control the inflammation cascade and stimulates collagen production.
