Acne Reduction
with Fotona Nd-YAG 1064
Acne Treatment
The Fotona Nd: YAG 1064 laser is extremely effective in the treatment of acne and acne scarring. It is a well tolerated, safe treatment that produces long-term results with no side effects. The reason that the Nd: YAG laser is so successful in treating acne is because the laser light has the ability to penetrate deep into the skin to selectively destroy overactive sebaceous glands and reduce acne inflammation.
In addition to its thermal penetration effects, the Nd: YAG also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodeling, an important step in the long term treatment of acne. This helps fill in and smooth out acne scarring.
Before and After

17 year old patient with mild acne vulgaris and multiple inflammatory pustules. One treatment was performed and no recurrence of acne was observed even after a 5 year follow up.
Acne Results
Results can vary due to individual factors which may require more than one treatment, however, laser acne therapy can also act as a preventative treatment by helping to stimulate collagen and keep scars from forming, as well as treating the active bacteria in the pores to help reduce acne and keep it from developing.
Not only is the Nd: YAG laser an incredibly effective, safe, and first-line treatment for acne, it is also a results oriented treatment for vascular lesions and uneven pigmentation such as spider veins, hemangiomas, port wine stains, and a variety of other vascular conditions including rosacea.
Acne FAQs
Acne vulgaris is a skin condition characterized by papules, pustules, blackheads, and sometimes deep cystic lesions that can cause scarring. Acne occurs when hair follicles (sebaceous glands) are clogged with bacteria, oil, and dead skin cells. The most common areas that acne is found is the face, neck, and upper torso.
Luckily, there are many forms of treatment that successfully reduce and often “cure” acne. The benefits of treatment with the Nd: YAG laser is that it is able to selectively and accurately target overactive sebaceous glands deep in the skin, while the thermal energy treats scarring and smoothes the skin.
Significant results can be seen with a single treatment and often the area is almost entirely cleared of acne inflammation. However, the amount of treatments needed can vary due to individual factors. Once the acne is cleared, patients typically achieve long term results.
The laser treatment is actually very tolerable! Treatments are typically done with only mild discomfort. A beneficial quality of lasers is that treatments are very quick, usually 20 minutes or less.
For someone who is treating the skin for the first time or is more sensitive to pain, we offer the option of a topical anesthetic to make the treatment more comfortable.
Typically, only a single treatment is needed to significantly reduce or clear mild to moderate acne inflammation. The number of treatments needed as well as how often they should be performed varies between people.
