Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT)

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.

Book an Appointment

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.

Areas of Interventions

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Baseline Photography

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

Step 3

Review & Consent

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

Step 4

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.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

For lasting results, maintenance sessions may be recommended a few times per year, particularly for concerns like pigmentation and redness that can be triggered by sun exposure or hormonal fluctuations. Your provider will advise you on a long-term skincare and sun protection plan to maintain your outcomes.

Contraindications

AFT is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding; experiencing active skin infections in the treatment area or taking photosensitizing medications (must be reviewed with your provider).

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 a range of skin concerns, including sun damage, brown spots and pigmentation, facial redness and broken capillaries, rosacea, fine lines and early signs of aging, as well as 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.
