What Is Fotona Acne Laser Treatment?
Fotona's precisely controlled Nd:YAG laser light penetrates into the skin and is designed to target overactive sebaceous glands, helping reduce the risk of new acne inflammation. This treatment is for active breakouts, which is different from treating acne scarring.
The Fotona Active Acne laser uses light that penetrates deep into the skin, while gently resurfacing the top layer of skin. Treatments take about 20–30 minutes.
What Fotona Acne Laser Treatment Helps With:
- Active acne breakouts
- Overactive oil glands

Post-Treatment Care - Fotona Acne Laser Treatment
There is no downtime. On active acne spots you may feel some warmth or have redness for a few hours, and the skin may feel dry or tight, so apply moisturizer for comfort. We recommend following a skin care routine using one of our medical grade skincare lines, avoiding touching the skin as much as possible, and staying hydrated to help the skin heal.
