At Dentistry Today, division of CARE Esthetics, we focus on utilizing the most advanced regenerative tools available. Fotona lasers are developed by a world-wide recognized laser company founded over 50 years ago that delivers state-of-the-art technology with the most advanced developers of high-technology laser systems.
Fotona Laser systems are non-invasive laser treatments that utilize four treatment modes to perform esthetic treatments, including skin tightening and volumization (wrinkle reduction), acne reduction, and removal of scarring and spider veins.
Our Fotona Nd:YAG light therapy uses the latest thermal technology to remove dead cells from the outermost layers of your skin and penetrate the deeper layers to stimulate fibroblasts and other skin cell types. This regenerates and stimulates collagen production, improving your dermal health and appearance.
This minimally invasive laser treatment requires no downtime and works to restore a more youthful, natural-looking appearance. When focused on a certain skin condition, lasers emit a wavelength of high-energy light, creating heat and destroying diseased cells. This breaks apart unwanted pigments, thereby facilitating age-spot removal.
The Er:YAG laser wavelength targets the uppermost layer of your skin, enabling extremely precise, layer-by-layer ablation of the top layer (the epidermis). It is the perfect tool if you are considering the removal of the following:
The laser energy is absorbed by the water content in your skin cells and the tissue can be vaporized in a painless procedure.
This causes the treated skin to shrink and stimulates the production of new collagen in the dermis. The overall result is that you will produce new, smoother, and tighter skin. The Er:YAG lasers provide the broadest possible range of skin rejuvenation treatments (collagen remodeling, skin tightening, light peels).
When combined with the Nd: YAG, laser wavelengths can help you achieve rapid and long-lasting esthetic results.
Treatment with our Fotona equipment can help you reduce the signs and presentation of:
Whether you are in your 30s dealing with early signs of aging, or in your 50s looking to refresh your look – this therapy can be customized to meet your specific needs!
Laser resurfacing treatment in Huntsville may not be suitable for everyone. Several conditions may make you ineligible for treatment, including if you have:
Patients with darker skin tones are at a greater risk of healing with darker pigmentation (hyperpigmentation). Our team will conduct a thorough assessment, discuss your questions and concerns, and customize the procedure to suit your skin type and needs.
Before Huntsville laser resurfacing, you will be asked to minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for two months. Too much sun can cause a permanent change in skin color in treated areas. You will also need to stop smoking for at least two weeks before and after your treatment. Smoking may increase the risk of side effects and hamper your body’s healing process.
In addition, as we review your medications or supplements, we may ask you to make adjustments. You may also be prescribed an antiviral medicine to prevent a viral infection before and after treatment. Finally, if you are sedated during laser resurfacing, you must arrange transportation to go home afterward.
Your comfort is our priority. We will numb your skin with medicine and may also give you a sedative. Then, we will direct an intense beam of light energy using advanced laser technology to remove the damaged skin.
At the same time, the light beam will heat the dermis, i.e., the underlying skin, to stimulate collagen production and skin growth. The session can last 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the treatment area. Usually, only one session is required unless you undergo non-ablative laser treatment or fractional Er:YAG laser resurfacing. In that case, you will likely need two to four treatments scheduled over a few weeks to months.
Afterward, your skin may appear red or slightly swollen, like a mild sunburn, but these effects typically subside within a few days. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to care for your skin and what to expect during the healing process. Be sure to keep up with your follow-up appointments so we can track your progress and address any concerns that may arise.
