A practical guide to how Fotona treats acne scars, which scar types respond best, what recovery looks like, and how many sessions people usually need.
Fotona is a dual-wavelength laser platform that can resurface skin and stimulate collagen remodeling. For acne scars, the goal is to improve texture gradually rather than erase every scar in one visit.
Rolling and boxcar scars typically respond better than deep ice-pick scars. Many patients need multiple sessions because collagen repair happens over time.
Temporary redness, swelling, and dryness are common, but downtime is usually shorter than with fully ablative laser resurfacing. Careful sun protection is key during healing.
Fotona can be paired with microneedling, PRP, or subcision when a patient has more than one scar pattern to address.
Next Step
A provider can map your scar type and recommend whether Fotona alone or a combination plan is the better choice.
