How it Works
Fotona's precise laser energy interacts with tissue at a cellular level
01
Targeting Acne Bacteria
The laser's energy is absorbed by porphyrins produced by P. acnes bacteria, generating localised reactive oxygen species that may reduce bacterial activity.
02
Sebaceous Gland Effect
Thermal energy is designed to reduce the activity of overactive sebaceous glands, a contributing factor in acne formation.
03
Collagen Stimulation
The treatment may also stimulate collagen production, which may assist in improving the texture of acne-affected skin over time.
