Fotona® SP Dynamis Acne Laser Malaysia | All You Need To Know

Why Does Acne Develop?
Acne develops when a hair follicle becomes blocked by excess sebum and dead skin cells. Sebum is the natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands.

Fotona® Acne Laser Frequently Asked Questions
We gathered the answers to some popular questions below. If you can’t find your question below feel free to contact us, and we’ll be happy to help.
Can I Undergo Acne Laser During an Active Breakout?
Yes. Fotona® Acne Laser is primarily designed for active and inflamed acne.
However, the doctor will first examine the breakout to determine whether it is suitable for laser treatment or requires medication or another treatment.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Some patients may notice an improvement in redness, inflammation, or oiliness after the first few sessions.
However, a course of approximately 5 to 10 sessions may be recommended for more noticeable and consistent improvement. The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of the acne and how the skin responds to treatment.
Maintenance treatments may also be considered, as new breakouts can still develop due to hormonal changes, stress, skincare habits, diet, or lifestyle factors.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Fotona® SP Dynamis Acne Laser may be performed on acne-prone areas of the face and body, including:
- Face
- Neck
- Chest
- Shoulders
- Upper back
- Lower back
The treatment area and laser settings will be adjusted according to the location and severity of the acne.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Fotona® SP Dynamis Acne Laser may help improve existing acne and reduce factors that contribute to recurring breakouts, such as excessive oil production and inflammation.
However, the results are not permanent. Acne may return because of hormonal changes, stress, lifestyle habits, or other underlying factors.
Following a suitable skincare routine and attending maintenance treatments when recommended may help support longer-lasting results.
How Soon Can I See an Improvement?
Some individuals may notice reduced redness or oiliness after the initial sessions.
More consistent improvement generally requires a series of treatments because acne formation is influenced by multiple internal and external factors.
What Is the Aftercare?
After the treatment:
- Avoid prolonged or direct sun exposure for approximately three to five days.
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning.
- Use a gentle moisturiser to keep the skin hydrated.
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, scrubs, retinoids, and strong active ingredients until the skin has settled.
- Avoid picking or squeezing active breakouts.
Your doctor may provide additional aftercare instructions based on your skin condition and treatment settings.
