Fotona Fractional lasers create micro-columns of thermal energy within the skin, triggering a healing response that stimulates collagen and elastin production. This fractional approach treats only a fraction of the skin at a time, allowing for faster healing while achieving significant results.

By using fractional laser technology, Fotona delivers precise energy to the skin, promoting collagen production and stimulating natural healing processes without affecting surrounding tissue. This makes it an effective solution for improving skin texture, reducing scars, and treating a range of skin concerns with minimal downtime.

How We Do It
Consultation: We assess your skin’s needs to customize the treatment. The treatment begins with a thorough skin assessment to customize the laser settings based on your skin type and concerns. Then cleaning and preparing the skin for the treatment. In every application, a topical numbing agent is applied to reduce discomfort. Laser pulses are applied in a controlled manner to target specific concerns. A soothing serum is applied, followed by personalized aftercare instructions. Each session lasts 30–60 minutes, with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Side Effects
Fotona fractional laser treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. Common temporary reactions may include:
- Redness: Mild redness in the treated area, typically subsiding within a few hours to a couple of days.
- Swelling: Slight swelling may occur, resolving shortly after treatment.
- Sensitivity: The treated skin might feel sensitive or warm, which usually diminishes quickly.
To minimize risks, it’s essential to follow pre- and post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner.
Time to Full Effect
Initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a week as the skin begins healing. Full effects, including smoother texture, reduced scars, and enhanced skin firmness, typically develop over 4–6 weeks as collagen production and skin regeneration continue. For optimal, long-lasting results, a series of treatments may be recommended, with cumulative benefits seen after each session.
