Laser Acne Treatments in Milton Ontario

Acne is a problem that doesn’t just affect teens. It can happen at any age, and the longer you have it, the more insecure you feel about it. Thankfully, you can learn more about our laser acne treatments in Milton right here at Utopia Spa & Boutique to get rid of acne for good.

Laser acne treatment uses the advanced Fotona medical equipment for a comprehensive solution to acne problems. With its help, the overactive sebaceous glands get destroyed so that less sebum is produced. As a result, there is less acne inflammation.

In addition, a complementary laser treatment using Er:YAG helps with skin resurfacing. It improves the appearance of the skin and removes acne scarring. Keep reading to know all about how this entire treatment works to improve your skin.

What are Acne and Acne Scarring?

Acne is a skin inflammation that occurs due to the clogging of follicles close to the surface of the skin. This happens when the oil-producing sebaceous glands produce too much oil. This oil then mixes with dead skin cells, dust particles, etc.. which can clog your pores. 

As a result of the swelling of acne pores, the walls of the pores break down. This leaves you with blemishes that we call acne scars. The content of the acne pores may even spread to to nearby tissues, causing deep scars. There are two types of acne scars:

• Raised scars – Keloid or hypertrophic scars resulting from excess collagen production during the healing process, and
• Sunken scars – Depressed or atrophic scars resulting from tissue loss, leading to ice-pick scars or boxcar scars

Here are examples of both scar types, with the before and after pictures after treatment with the Fotona laser system:

How Does Fotona Laser Help Treat Acne and Acne Scarring?

The Fotona laser system is state-of-the-art aesthetic technology. It offers relief from various skin conditions, including acne, in a non-invasive manner. It boosts your body’s natural ability to heal and produce collagen. It is highly effective in treating active acne and acne scarring to give you healthy, blemish-free skin.

But how does it work?

Acne:

For active acne, the treatment plan using Fotona aims to reduce inflammation. It does so with the help of controlled heating and photo selective absorption using the high-powered Nd:YAG laser. This laser penetrates the top layers of skin for thermal treatment.

The laser beams are precise and safe as they target the overactive sebaceous glands at the hair follicles at an optimal depth. They destroy them without harming the surrounding tissues. This effectively prevents the production of excess sebum. And it reduces the chances of acne inflammation.

Besides preventing acne, the thermal effect of these laser beams also boosts collagen for skin re-modelling. As a result of improved collagen production, the skin heals faster. Collagen supports skin firmness, and the skin around the pores becomes plump and firm, reducing their size. Restoring your natural look, and facial beauty.

Acne Scars:

Fotona is also helpful in improving the appearance of the skin by reducing scarring. That is an essential part of the overall acne treatment. It does so with the help of Er:YAG laser, where the beams are absorbed by the micro-layers on top of the skin. As a result, the scarred tissue vaporizes and gets removed.

This reveals the undamaged skin underneath the scarred surface. The heat from the laser beams further stimulates collagen production in the dermis. It’s the layer that lies right beneath the surface of your skin. As a result, a new skin layer develops, removing the appearance of scars from your face.

This skin resurfacing procedure is for gentle and precise ablative scar revision for improved skin texture. The Er:YAG laser penetrates the skin at a minimal depth and is highly controlled. That makes it gentler for your skin health compared to chemical peels or other abrasive treatment options.

Dual-Wavelength Laser Systems for Comprehensive Acne Solutions

Acne and acne scar treatment for complete skin rejuvenation is available in various forms – including the following –

• SP Dynamis Pro Line – It uses SP Dynamis & SP Spectro systems to combine Er:YAG and Nd:YAG lasers for many aesthetic and dermatological applications. SP Dynamis is also used in surgical procedures.

Side Effects of Fotona Laser Acne Treatments

Laser treatments are non-invasive and minimally ablative, causing no long-term side effects on your body or skin. But this entire process is based on thermal impact to address various skin concerns. So you may experience some discomfort during and after the treatment, though these are mild and temporary.

You may feel some light tingling or burning sensation. But the discomfort is minimal as numbing agents are applied to the skin before the procedure is started. After the procedure, you may develop some redness, or slight irritation, but these go away within a few days.
