Laser-Based Solutions for Active Acne and Long-Term Scarring
At MD Laser and Aesthetics Studio, we take a medical-grade approach to acne and acne scarring using the advanced Fotona Dynamis Pro laser system. Whether you’re struggling with active acne breakouts, chronic inflammation, or the long-term effects of scarring, our non-invasive laser treatments stimulate healing and improve skin clarity — without medications, peels, or downtime.
Dr. Ali Hamidi personally customizes each treatment using a combination of Er:YAG and Nd:YAG wavelengths, offering a dual-action solution that tackles acne at the surface and below the skin.
How Laser Treats Acne & Acne Scarring
Fotona’s dual-wavelength laser system targets the two major challenges in acne-prone skin:
1. Active Acne
- Nd:YAG laser penetrates deep into the sebaceous glands to reduce inflammation and destroy acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes)
- Reduces redness, oil production, and future breakouts
2. Acne Scars & Texture
- Er:YAG fractional laser resurfaces the skin’s outer layer, stimulating collagen to fill in acne pits, rolling scars, and uneven texture
- Gradually smooths and refines skin over time
This approach allows us to treat both current acne and its lasting effects in a comprehensive, non-invasive protocol.

What to Expect
