What should you know about Fotona laser skin resurfacing?

A Fotona platform can deliver different wavelengths and settings, so the treatment is adjusted to the concern, skin tone, and desired depth. A clinician may use a more superficial approach for uneven tone or a deeper approach for texture and fine lines. The treated skin can feel warm, tight, or sunburn-like afterward, with redness or swelling that settles as the surface recovers. It is a treatment choice for concerns such as sun-damaged skin, but it does not halt natural ageing or replace daily sun protection.

Before treatment, disclose recent tanning, cold sores, active rashes, medicines, and any tendency to form raised scars. Follow the clinic’s instructions about stopping irritating products and arriving with clean skin. Afterward, use only the recommended cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen; do not pick peeling areas or add exfoliants until the clinician says the barrier has recovered. Avoid heat, intense exercise, and direct sun while the skin is sensitive. A consultation can also compare Fotona with CO2 Laser, Thulium Laser, or a Chemical Peel when the treatment goal is different.

Contact the treating clinic promptly if pain is worsening rather than easing, swelling is marked, blisters appear, or the skin develops spreading redness, pus, or fever. Seek urgent medical help for facial swelling with breathing difficulty or a severe eye symptom. Mild warmth, redness, tightness, and flaking can occur during ordinary recovery, but your clinician should assess any reaction that feels unexpectedly intense or continues to worsen.

Which Fotona wavelength and treatment depth fit my concern? What recovery changes should I expect for my skin tone? Which products should I pause, and when can I restart them? How will you protect areas near the eyes and manage a history of cold sores or scarring?
