General Recommendations
for Fotona 4D Laser
Pre-treatment
For at least one week before your treatment, avoid unprotected sun exposure and tanning beds. Be sure to use a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin. If you're an acne client, discontinue the use of Acne Cream and Exfoliating Serum 3 days before your treatment. Prioritize a protein-rich diet (aim for 1g of protein per 1lb of body weight), also including plenty of fruits, vegetables, and foods high in vitamins and antioxidants. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. You can drink electrolyte solution for one week prior to treatment. Keep your skin moisturized before the treatment. Avoid smoking and vaping because it reduces the effectiveness of the treatment.
Post-treatment guide
Limit sun exposure by avoiding direct sunlight on the treated area for at least 24 hours. For the following two weeks, be cautious with sun exposure and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when outdoors, reapplying every 2 hours for optimal protection. For gentle skin care, avoid hot showers or baths for the first 24 hours and use lukewarm water instead. Do not wash your face for the first two days. Starting the next day, gently cleanse your face with a soft, non-abrasive cleanser. We may recommend specific gentle skincare products for your routine. Avoid wearing makeup or tinted SPF for at least 5 days, or until your skin has fully healed. Refrain from strenuous activities until your skin is completely healed. Apply Aquaphor, Vaseline, or another soothing, non-comedogenic moisturizer as recommended. We may suggest specific products tailored to your needs.Avoid using strong skincare products, such as retinoids or AHAs, until your skin has fully healed. Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from the inside and support the healing process. Maintain a nutritious, protein-rich diet with an emphasis on fruits, vegetables, and foods high in vitamins and antioxidants to promote skin recovery. Avoid smoking and vaping, as both hinder the healing process and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Do not disturb the healing skin — AVOID scratching or touching any scabs. Picking at scabs leads to indented scars.
Why We Like Fotona 4D Laser at AcneClinicNYC:
Most lasers are focused on collagen production either on top layers of the skin or deep levels of the skin, but Fotona is the first laser to focus on both at once. We love Fotona 4D for this versatility, and for the unique handpieces which target different areas of the face, which provides the best results.
