Get answers to common questions about Fotona Glass Peel.

Many patients notice smoother texture and increased radiance within days, with optimal glass-skin results appearing over two to four weeks as skin completes its renewal. Multiple sessions enhance longevity, and improvements can continue with proper skincare and sun protection.

Yes — the Fotona system is safe for most skin types when performed by experienced providers. Settings are tailored to minimize pigment risks, but a consultation is required to assess individual concerns, history of pigmentation, and optimal parameters for safe treatment.

Treatment plans vary—most clients begin with a series of two to four sessions spaced four weeks apart to achieve and maintain glass-skin effects. Your provider will recommend frequency based on skin condition, goals, and response to initial sessions.

Most clients describe mild warmth or tingling during the procedure; topical numbing is rarely necessary. The Fotona laser pulses are gentle and comfortable, and practitioners can adjust settings for tolerance. Post-treatment discomfort is typically minimal and short-lived.

Gentle cleansing, hydration, and daily broad-spectrum SPF are essential. Avoid abrasive exfoliants and intense heat for several days. Use soothing moisturizers and avoid chemical peels or retinol until your provider approves. Follow-up appointments help monitor healing and maintain outcomes.

Side effects are usually mild—temporary redness, slight swelling, or flaking as skin renews. Rarely, pigmentation changes or scarring can occur, especially without proper pre- and post-care. A consultation reviews risks and ensures appropriate treatment for your skin profile.
