    Treatment & Technology

    Woman who has used a Rosacea treatment

    AFT is an advanced light-based treatment that targets a range of common skin concerns—pigmentation, redness, acne, and early signs of aging—with no downtime. It’s a comfortable, non-invasive option for patients looking to visibly improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.

    Unlike traditional Intense-Pulsed Light (IPL), AFT filters out unnecessary wavelengths, allowing for a more precise and even delivery of energy to the skin. This makes it safer for more skin types and more effective at treating sun damage, brown spots, facial redness, rosacea, and visible veins, while also stimulating collagen to smooth fine lines and restore skin vitality.

    For acne-prone skin, AFT uses targeted blue light to reduce inflammation by eliminating acne-causing bacteria—without the need for topical products or medication. Whether you’re managing breakouts or looking to brighten uneven tone, AFT offers a proven path to clearer, healthier-looking skin.

    Treatable Areas

    AFT can be safely used on various areas of the body where pigmentation, redness, or acne commonly appear. Most patients choose to treat the face, neck, décolleté, hands, chest, back, arms, or legs—depending on their specific concerns. For acne, AFT is particularly effective on the face, chest, and back, where breakouts tend to be more persistent.

    Personalized Assessment

    Your treatment begins with a one-on-one consultation. Your provider will assess your skin condition and design a plan tailored to your concerns—whether you’re treating pigmentation, redness, or acne. A series of 8 sessions, scheduled twice a week, is typically recommended for optimal acne results.

    Baseline Photography

    Before beginning your first session, photographs are taken to help document your skin’s progress over time.

    Review & Consent

    Your provider will guide you through the consent forms, answer any questions, and ensure you’re fully informed about the procedure.

    Treatment Session

    During your session, the AFT handpiece delivers light pulses to the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth with occasional snapping, similar to a mild elastic band. The treatment is quick, and no downtime is needed.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How is AFT different from traditional IPL?

    AFT is an advanced, more refined version of IPL. It filters out ineffective wavelengths and delivers a more uniform, stable light output. This results in more consistent results, greater comfort during treatment, and increased safety across various skin types. AFT is also more effective at treating multiple skin concerns in one session.

    Can AFT treat acne?

    Yes. AFT uses intense pulsed blue light to target Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria responsible for inflammatory breakouts. This approach treats acne at its source—with no medication and minimal risk of irritation.

    What skin concerns can AFT improve?

    AFT is highly effective for:

    • Sun damage
    • Brown spots and pigmentation
    • Facial redness and broken capillaries
    • Rosacea
    • Fine lines and early signs of aging
    • Acne and post-inflammatory marks

    How many treatments will I need?

    This varies based on your skin concern. For acne, a series of 8 treatments performed twice per week is standard. For pigmentation and redness, a personalized plan will be developed during your consultation.

    Is there any downtime?

    AFT treatments are gentle and non-invasive. You may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated area, but this typically subsides within a few hours. Most patients return to their daily routine immediately after treatment.
