Treatment process

Our exclusive protocol combines several laser modes to act multidimensionally on the texture, depth, color and flexibility of scars. This non-surgical treatment is highly customizable:

Fractional Er:yag: Performs a controlled micro-abrasion to smooth surface irregularities, break adhesions and stimulate skin cell renewal.
Nd:YAG long pulse (deep): Deeply heats skin tissue to activate natural collagen production, improving skin density and firmness.
SMOOTH® mode: Offers a gentle regeneration that improves the overall texture and restores suppleness to the epidermis.
‍

This technological trio is the ideal solution to reduce the appearance of complex atrophic scars (in ice pick/ Ice-Pick, in a wagon/ Boxcar, hilly/ Rolling).

Questions

Frequently asked questions
On the treatment

Learn more

How many sessions are needed to see a difference?

On average, we recommend between 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This number varies according to the depth and age of your scars.

Does laser treatment for scars hurt?

The sensation varies according to the intensity of the parameters used. You may experience mild to moderate discomfort, but the session is generally very well tolerated by our patients.

Should I plan for downtime (social eviction)?

Recovery time is mild to moderate. You can expect redness, textured skin, and micro-peeling for a few days, but that doesn't stop you from getting back to your daily activities (avoiding the sun).

When are the final results visible?

Cell renewal takes time. The first changes appear between 2 and 4 weeks, but the optimal result (thanks to collagen regeneration) is observed after 8 to 12 weeks, and continues to improve gradually.

Are the results on acne scars permanent?

Yes. The structural improvements achieved on the dermis are long-lasting. For very deep scars, periodic maintenance may be suggested.

Can very old acne scars be treated?

Absolutely. Even scars that have been installed for years respond very well to Fotona laser remodeling.

Can the Fotona laser be combined with other treatments?

Yes, the combination of technologies is often the key to optimal results. At the Skinin Clinic in Dix30, we can combine this laser with complementary treatments such as:

Microneedling (classic or RF): To further target texture and depth.
‍
‍PRP or Exosomes: For accelerated cell regeneration and repair.
‍
‍Er:YAG laser peeling/Fractional resurfacing: For overall radiance and pore reduction.

‍Bela MD: For deep cleaning and an infusion of active serums.
