Fotona laser

For clearer, smoother skin

Treatment Overview

Treat your active acne & improve scarring

Reduce active acne and decrease the appearance of acne scars with advanced Fotona laser therapy at Trucare Aesthetics in Winnipeg.

For active acne, the Fotona laser uses photoselective absorption and controlled heating to thermally destroy overactive sebaceous (oil) glands that contribute to breakouts. The laser safely penetrates the skin to the optimal depth to selectively target these glands while also reducing acne-associated inflammation and accelerating the skin’s healing process.

For acne scars, the Fotona Er:YAG laser gently resurfacing scarred skin, vaporizing micro-thin layers to smooth out irregularities in skin texture and tone. Unlike dermabrasion or chemical peels, the laser depth can be precisely controlled for consistent, safe results.

Combining both active acne and scar treatments in a comprehensive program produces the most complete results, clearing current breakouts while progressively improving existing scar tissue.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had laser nail treatments with Jess and had such a great experience from start to finish. Jess was so friendly, kind and completely non-judgmental. She made me feel comfortable right away and honestly made the whole experience so easy.

The treatments worked very well. My nails are looking so much better and I’m really happy with the results.

I would absolutely recommend Jess to anyone considering this treatment. She’s wonderful at what she does and just a genuinely lovely person.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got filler here this past Monday and let me tell you, I’m SO happy with everything! Mandy, Jess and team make you feel so relaxed and comfortable! This was my first time getting filler and I honestly had no idea what to expect. Mandy walked me through the entire consultation and treatment and let me take a peak at every stage. She also told me what to expect pain wise during the procedure! The clinic is very clean, professional and welcoming! Will definitely be back in the future! 💖

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 stars for Mandy Desousa and her expertise!

I’m writing this three weeks post-treatment, and the results have settled perfectly as expected. Finding a clinic and RN can be trusted long-term is not easy, and I feel lucky to have found both. Mandy’s botox injection technique is outstanding, I had zero bruising after treatment, which is a clear testament to her precision and experience. Most importantly, her aesthetic vision aligns with mine where we prioritizes a natural, balanced look over anything stiff or overdone. Also, she provides excellent guidance throughout the process and truly knows how to achieve subtle, high-quality results.
