Fotona Dynamis Er:YAG:

The Fotona Dynamis Erbium laser is a cutting-edge medical treatment that uses fractional laser technology to rejuvenate skin and improve overall appearance.

About Fotona Dynamis Erbium Laser

Overview

The deep heating effect of Fotona’s Nd:YAG laser beam helps rejuvenate and stimulate the skin, improving skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.

Distinctive attributes of this treatment include:

Pulse control technology: Allows targeted treatment to achieve maximum results without harming the skin’s surface.
Deeply penetrates skin: Improves skin texture and appearance without damaging the skin’s surface.
Uses photoacoustic waves: It uses laser light waves that carefully break apart pigments and other unwanted particles rather than heat.
Complements Er:YAG treatments: Nd:YAG and Er:YAG work well together to reveal smoother and tighter skin.

Advantages

The Fotona Dynamis Erbium laser is suitable for people looking to improve:

Signs of aging: The laser effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, providing a more youthful complexion.
Uneven skin tone and texture: Whether due to acne scars, sun damage, or other factors, the Fotona Dynamis Erbium laser can help smooth out irregularities and even skin tone.
Enlarged pores: The laser effectively minimizes the appearance of large pores, giving the skin a smoother and more refined look.
Dull or lackluster skin: The laser can enhance skin radiance and restore a healthy glow by stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover.

Pros

Precision and customization: This option offers precise control over the depth and intensity of the treatment, allowing practitioners to tailor the procedure to each patient’s specific needs.
Minimal downtime: The recovery time is relatively short compared to more invasive procedures. Most patients can resume their daily activities within a few days.
Versatility: Address many skin concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation irregularities.
Long-lasting results: With proper skin care and sun protection, the results of Fotona Dynamis Erbium laser treatments can last for an extended period, making it a cost-effective solution.

Cons

Potential for temporary side effects: While most patients experience minimal side effects, some may encounter temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort following the procedure. These effects typically subside within a few days.
Multiple sessions may be required: Depending on the individual’s specific goals, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. This can require additional time and financial investment.

What to Expect

Fontona laser resurfacing is typically an outpatient procedure lasting 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the treatment area size and desired intensity.

Before the procedure, your provider administers local anesthesia to numb the area and may provide an oral sedative for relaxation. General anesthesia in some cases are used when paired with deeper treatments and other procedures, requiring transportation arrangements afterward.

During the procedure, the handheld laser device is moved across the treatment area, emitting a powerful beam of light in a grid-like pattern. Under general anesthesia, there’s no sensation. With local anesthesia, you may feel a snapping sensation.

Afterward, your skin is coated with ointment and dressings.

Recovery

Downtime varies from several days for superficial treatments to over two weeks for deeper treatments. During this period, expect swelling, scabbing, and discomfort. You can manage pain with over-the-counter or prescribed medication.

To reduce swelling, use a combination of prescription steroids and ice packs, and elevate your head while sleeping. Follow your doctor’s cleansing and moisturizing instructions, possibly using medical-grade products they recommend.

Moisturize regularly to promote healthy skin turnover and prevent scabbing. After initial healing, expect pink skin for weeks. You can resume using makeup once the area fully heals.

When outdoors, protect your skin from the sun with SPF 30+ sunscreen to prevent damage to the delicate regenerated skin.

Results

Visible outcomes depend on treatment intensity and healing duration. Noticeable results typically appear after skin restoration and redness resolution, taking weeks for superficial treatments and months for deeper treatments.

Clients see immediate improvements post-healing, but collagen-enhancing effects take a few months to develop as new cells and proteins form fully.

With proper skin care and sun protection, results can last several years. Regular hydration and antioxidant-rich products, along with high-SPF sunscreen, are recommended to prevent recurring damage.

Safety Profile

Deeper erbium treatments pose some risks of burning and scarring. Healing is much quicker compared to CO2 lasers. Its important to adhere to strict post-treatment instructions, including cleansing and moisturizing, is crucial to minimize infection risk.

Superficial resurfacing treatments carry lesser risks but can still cause some potential issues for people with medium to deep skin tones. Following a doctor’s guidance is essential for healthy healing and infection prevention.

Those on Accutane therapy or within the last 6 months should also refrain from CO2 treatment due to impaired healing capabilities.

Inform your doctor of any history of cold sores so that you can receive antiviral medication before treatment to prevent flare-ups.

Cost

The cost of an erbium laser skin resurfacing procedure typically ranges from $2,000 to $2,500. The final price of this treatment is determined by factors such as geographical location, healthcare provider, and the complexity and duration of the cosmetic procedure.
