Fotona scar treatment is a doctor-led laser scar revision treatment that uses Er:YAG and Nd:YAG energy to help improve the appearance, texture and pliability of scars over time.

Fotona may be used for surgical scars, trauma scars, injury scars, scars from stitches or cuts, raised scars, textured scars and some discoloured scars.

Fotona works by resurfacing the skin surface and stimulating collagen remodelling in deeper scar tissue, which can help soften scar edges, improve texture and make scars less visible.

Yes, Fotona may still help improve older scars, although the number of treatments needed and the amount of improvement depends on the scar’s age, depth and type.

Most scar treatment plans involve a course of sessions rather than one treatment, and the number needed depends on the scar, the treatment area and how the skin responds.

Most patients describe the treatment as manageable, with heat or tingling during treatment and some redness or sensitivity afterwards depending on the intensity used.

Downtime varies by treatment depth, but it may include redness, swelling, flaking or crusting for a short period after treatment, especially with more intensive scar resurfacing.

Yes, Fotona may be combined with treatments such as Secret RF, polynucleotides, exosomes or other collagen-stimulating options where appropriate.

You may be a good candidate if you want to improve surgical scars, trauma scars or injury scars and are looking for a doctor-led treatment plan tailored to your skin and scar type.

Some improvement may be seen gradually after treatment, but scar revision results usually develop over several weeks to months as collagen remodelling continues.
