Who Can Benefit
Fotona treats pores from two depths. The Nd:YAG wavelength stimulates collagen and helps control oil, and the Er:YAG wavelength smooths the surface, so pores look smaller and skin feels firmer and smoother.
- Enlarged pores with oily skin
- Rough texture and early loss of firmness
- Pores together with post-acne marks
- Patients who want a gentler option than microneedling
Pores with scarring or laxity often respond better to Matrix RF microneedling, and pores linked to thin skin to skin boosters.
We postpone treatment during pregnancy, with a fresh tan, or with an infection in the area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can pores be closed permanently?
No treatment closes pores for good. Fotona makes them look smaller, and maintenance keeps the result.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 3 to 5, spaced about 4 weeks apart.
How long do results last?
Typically 9 to 12 months with maintenance.
Fotona, Matrix RF Microneedling, PicoWay or skin boosters: which is best for pores?
Fotona suits oily skin with mild pores, Matrix RF microneedling suits pores with scarring or laxity, PicoWay suits pores with uneven tone, and boosters suit pores linked to thin skin. We recommend one, or a combination, after examining your skin.
Is there downtime?
Mild redness for a few hours. You can usually return to work the same day.
Fotona laser also treats acne and acne scars, pigmentation and melasma, skin brightening, fine lines, non-surgical facelift (Fotona 4D), spider veins and keloid scars.
