Laser acne treatment in Kyiv

Acne is not just a teenage problem. Breakouts often persist or first appear after 25: on the chin, cheeks, forehead and back. Creams and pharmacy products give a temporary effect, and pills are not suitable for everyone.

The Fotona laser targets the cause of inflammation. The Nd:YAG neodymium laser penetrates the skin to the sebaceous glands and gently heats them. Less sebum is produced, bacteria die and inflammation subsides. Laser treatment of pimples works without systemic medication and without damaging the skin surface.

How the laser treats acne on the face and body

Laser therapy acts on several stages of breakout formation at once.

  • Sebaceous glands – heat reduces their activity, so the skin becomes less oily.
  • Bacteria – heating suppresses the bacteria that sustain inflammation.
  • Inflammation – red, painful spots heal faster and new ones appear less often.
  • Redness after pimples – lingering red marks fade.
  • Pores – if needed, the doctor adds a light erbium peel to cleanse and tighten pores.

The laser does not dry out the skin and has none of the side effects of pills, so it also suits those for whom systemic treatment is contraindicated.

FRAC3® – лазерне лікування акне на Nd:YAG

FRAC3® – режим неодимового лазера Fotona Nd:YAG 1064 нм з дуже короткими імпульсами. Енергія розподіляється в товщі шкіри тривимірно, мікрозонами, і прогріває сальні залози та вогнища запалення, а поверхня шкіри залишається цілою.

  • Менше нових висипань – при активному акне FRAC3® зменшує активність сальних залоз і пригнічує бактерії.
  • Світліші плями й рівніший рельєф – червоні плями після прищів світлішають, а пори стають менш помітними завдяки оновленню колагену.
  • No downtime – після сеансу можливе легке почервоніння на кілька годин.

Лікар добирає режим під стан шкіри: при запаленні переважає робота з сальними залозами, а після заспокоєння – з плямами та рельєфом. Курс – 3–5 процедур з інтервалом 2–4 тижні. Про апарат і всі програми – на сторінці Лазер Fotona у Києві.

Who laser acne treatment is for

  • Mild to moderate inflammatory acne
  • Adult acne, including hormonal acne on the chin
  • Breakouts on the back, chest and shoulders
  • Those for whom creams don’t help
  • Those who don’t want to or can’t take pills

What else matters

Acne is often linked to hormones, diet or improper skincare. That is why the dermatologist identifies the cause and, if necessary, refers you for tests.

Лазерне лікування акне на спині й грудях

На спині й грудях сальних залоз більше, а шкіра товща, тому креми тут діють слабше, ніж на обличчі. Неодимовий лазер проникає глибше й добре підходить для великих зон. Опрацювання спини триває близько 30–40 хвилин, анестезія не потрібна.

If pimples have left scars, there is a separate treatment – лікування рубців.

Laser and other acne treatments

The dermatologist may combine the laser with topical products for faster and more stable results.

How laser pimple treatment works

The treatment takes 20–40 minutes depending on the area.

  • 1. Consultation

    The dermatologist assesses the type and severity of acne, identifies possible causes and makes a plan.

  • 2. Preparation

    The skin is cleansed and the eyes are protected with goggles. No anaesthesia is needed.

  • 3. Laser work

    The doctor treats the breakout areas. You feel warmth while the handpiece cools the skin.

  • 4. After the treatment

    Mild redness fades within a few hours. You can return to your usual activities right away.

How many sessions are needed to get rid of acne

A course usually consists of 3–5 sessions 2–4 weeks apart. Inflammation decreases after the first sessions, and there are fewer new breakouts each time.

Proper care between sessions is important: gentle cleansing, non-comedogenic products and SPF. Don’t squeeze pimples so that no marks or scars remain.

For a lasting result, the doctor may recommend maintenance treatments and home care.

Frequently asked questions about laser acne treatment

Does the laser help with pimples?

Yes, for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. The laser reduces sebaceous gland activity and suppresses bacteria, so there are fewer breakouts. For severe acne, the laser is combined with treatment prescribed by a dermatologist.

Is laser acne treatment painful?

No. You feel warmth and slight tingling, and the handpiece cools the skin. No anaesthesia is needed.

When will the result be visible?

Inflammation decreases after 1–2 sessions. A stable result is usually visible by the end of a course of 3–5 sessions.

Can teenagers have laser acne treatment?

Yes, the treatment suits both teenagers and adults. Minors need parental consent, and the dermatologist plans treatment taking age into account.

Can the laser be combined with acne creams?

Yes. The dermatologist will choose topical products that enhance the effect and won’t irritate the skin after the treatment. Aggressive peels and scrubs are not used during the course.

Who is laser acne treatment contraindicated for?

The treatment is not performed during pregnancy, with a fresh tan, oncological diseases, herpes or skin infection in the treatment area, or while taking photosensitising medication. During isotretinoin therapy, the decision is made by the doctor.

Що таке FRAC3® і чим він відрізняється від звичайного лазера?

Це режим неодимового лазера Fotona з дуже короткими імпульсами, який прогріває шкіру мікрозонами в глибині, не пошкоджуючи поверхню. Тому він одночасно зменшує запалення й покращує рельєф і не потребує відновлення.
