How does Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro acne treatment work?
The Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro uses dual-wavelength laser technology (Er:YAG + Nd:YAG) to treat acne from multiple angles:
For Active Acne:
The Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser penetrates the skin to an optimal treatment depth to:
- Thermally target overactive sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands)
- Reduce local inflammation
- Stimulate collagen remodeling
- Control the inflammation cascade that causes new breakouts
For Acne Scars:
The Er:YAG (2940 nm): laser gently removes micron-thin layers of damaged skin so that new, healthy skin can form in its place. Unlike chemical peels or dermabrasion, laser resurfacing is precisely controlled—safely vaporizing acne-scarred tissue to reveal smoother, undamaged skin beneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro acne treatment work?
The Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro uses dual-wavelength laser technology to treat acne from multiple angles. The Nd:YAG laser penetrates deep into the skin to thermally target overactive sebaceous glands, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen remodeling. The Er:YAG laser gently resurfaces acne-scarred skin, removing damaged layers so new, healthy skin can form. This combination addresses both active breakouts and existing scars.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients find Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro acne treatment very tolerable. The sensation is typically described as mild warmth or a light snapping feeling on the skin. No anesthesia is usually required, though your provider can apply a topical numbing cream if you have sensitive skin.
How many treatments will I need?
A minimum of 4 treatments is recommended to effectively target and clear active acne. For acne scars, 3–6 sessions may be needed depending on the severity. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition and goals. Sessions are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Touch-up treatments should be performed every 6 to 12 months to maintain long-term results.
How do I prepare for this treatment?
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning for 4–6 weeks prior.
- Stop accutane or any other isotretinoin products 6 months before treatment.
- Discontinue retinoids 2 weeks before, and stop AHAs, BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and harsh exfoliants 1 week before. Avoid aspirin and blood-thinning supplements 3–4 days prior. On the day of treatment, arrive with clean skin—no makeup, lotions, or jewelry. Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores or keloid scarring.
What can I expect after treatment?
Most patients return to normal activities immediately. Mild swelling, redness, and small scabs may occur—particularly with scar revision treatments—and typically resolve within 5–15 days. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to support healing.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice a reduction in redness and inflammation within days of their first treatment. In general, mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne will reduce in intensity and frequency, and will likely fade away within a few weeks to a couple of months. Full results develop progressively as you complete your treatment series.
Is Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro acne treatment safe?
Yes. The Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro is a physician-grade laser system that is clinically proven, safe, and effective. The dual-wavelength system allows precise, controlled treatment that targets acne without damaging surrounding skin. It's a medication-free alternative to oral antibiotics or Accutane.
Can Fotona® SP Dynamis Pro treat acne scars as well as active acne?
