Dive into the Tech
The Fotona® Acne Scar Revision treatment harnesses the power of both Nd:YAG and Er:YAG wavelengths to precisely and effectively target scar tissue. This advanced dual-wavelength approach allows providers to finely tune the balance between coagulation and ablation, offering a fully customizable treatment tailored to each patient’s unique skin needs and scar characteristics.
How it Works
This treatment involves three essential steps.
STEP 1
Reduces the production of cytokines and pro-inflammatory proteins effectively controlling the inflammatory cascade.
STEP 2
Targets hypertrophic and icepick scars, smoothing the scar’s shoulders and resulting in a flattened, more uniform appearance in the scarred area.
STEP 3
Creates micro-holes, inducing the synthesis of new collagen, restructuring the extracellular matrix, and reorganizing collagen fibers within the scar.

Scientific & Clinical Research
Management of PIH & Acne Scars in Asian Skin
This study discusses acne, one of the most common chronic skin diseases, which is caused by the blockage or inflammation of pilosebaceous units.
Laser Treatment for Acne Scars with Fractional Er:YAG and Nd:YAG Laser
This study presents two cases. The first case is a 27-year-old female with a history of facial acne that was treated with Isotretinoin over 10 years ago. The second case is a 33-year-old female with a history of facial acne that resolved when she was 20 years old through the use of contraceptive pills.
Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown – Acne Scars Treatment
This study highlights that laser-induced optical breakdown (LIOB) is a phenomenon that occurs when short-pulsed, high-energy lasers (such as Q-switched nanosecond or picosecond lasers) induce deep dermal cavitation as a result of a non-thermal photomechanical effect.
Er:YAG Laser for Acne Scars
This study presents a case in which, after just one laser treatment and without the use of any other treatment modalities, a marked improvement in acne scars was observed. The SP Dynamis laser (Er:YAG) was used with the F-Runner fractional scanner as well as the R11 handpiece.
Comparison of Fractional Er: YAG and Carbon Dioxide Lasers in Resurfacing of Atrophic Acne Scars in Asians
During this study, a randomized trial was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of fractional erbium and carbon dioxide lasers for the treatment of atrophic acne scars in individuals with skin phototype IV.
