Skin Resurfacing with Fotona is a simple 3-step treatment to help improve skin smoothness, and give the skin a fresher and healthier appearance. It is a gentler alternative for treating fine lines and wrinkles with minimal downtime with natural results.
Fotonas technology allows us to rejuvenate the skin to produce an effect of highly precise sculpting of the skin. Treatments can vary from touch-ups to deep collagen remodelling. The laser light only targets areas of the skin where aging has occurred, leaving the surrounding healthy skin untouched.
Two lasers are used for the skin resurfacing treatment and both have complementary effects on the skin. Deep heating of one of the lasers helps to rejuvenate and stimulate the skin while the other laser helps the body form new, tighter skin.
The heat from the laser energy stimulates the production of new collagen in the dermis because the surrounding, untreated skin speeds the rejuvenation process. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and tones, with minimal downtime.
We would recommend 1 treatment every 3 months until desired outcome has been acheived.
Following the treatment there may be redness for 24 hours with the dull cells turning brown and exfoliating over the course of 5 days.
Avoid sun exposure and make up application for 48 hours post treatment. Any sun exposure should be done with an SPF 50 or more.
We advise that you should avoid any makeup other than Jane Iredale for 48 hours after the treatment to reduce the possibility of acne breakouts.
Cleanse with gentle foaming cleanser and do not use retinals or lotions with acid.
Avoid exercise for 24 hours after the treatment
Keep the treated area moisturized and hydrated
