Hi Everyone,

I went to see a dermatologist (Dr Haus) last month about my acne scarring. He's recommending the Fotona 2D laser - it is supposed to be an ablative laser, but I am being recommended to get a package of 6, notwithstanding that my acne scarring is very superficial. He's charging 900 per session of this laser and I can't seem to find much information online - has anyone heard about it or had this laser?

 

Thank you!!

@Frances_18I am not a big fan of that laser compared to the Sciton. It's very popular in Europe, I think even Dr Emil has it. Standard Erbium. Youtube ""Fontona peel or Fontona resurfacing." The spot size is extremely small on that laser and it's not as powerful, the scanner is inferiorto the Sciton. But it may be fine as you have superficial scars. Perhaps he can do a test spot on your face before booking the full package.

Ok based off the Info you gave, the Dr is going to give you many weak Fontona laser peels. Otherwise you would have longer down time for weeks after a deep laser resurfacing, just like a deep peel. Perhaps if it's very superficial it wold be fine, ... just ask him to give you a guarantee if the package does not work to do something stronger. Also you can ask for aggressive longer down time treatment if the first time you feel is toooo"weak."
