Acne Laser Treatment (per session) in Amato Plastic Surgery
About the clinic
Acne laser treatment at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, uses high-intensity light to resurface the skin and minimize scarring. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation and features a dedicated day hospital for safe, controlled procedures. While specific prices depend on the treatment area, patients receive care in a facility recognized by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and ISAPS.
Advanced Fractional CO2 Laser Technology
The clinic uses the fractional CO2 laser, which operates at a wavelength of 10,600 nm. This tool creates tiny columns of light that vaporize damaged scar tissue. This process helps the skin start a natural healing response. It stimulates collagen remodeling to fill in depressions left by old acne. Most patients see a 40% to 70% reduction in the depth and visibility of their scars.
Treatment Process and Customization
A typical course includes 3 to 5 sessions. These visits are usually spaced 30 to 60 days apart to allow the skin to heal properly. Each session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Before the laser starts, the team applies a topical anesthetic for about an hour. For deeper scars, the clinic may use local blocks or light sedation. Doctors often combine the laser with other methods like subcision or TCA CROSS to treat deep, pitted areas.
Recovery and Skin Care
Healing begins immediately after the session. You may notice redness and fine crusts on the skin for 3 to 7 days. While the initial crusts fade quickly, residual pinkness can last for 2 to 4 weeks. Final results usually appear about 60 to 90 days after each session. The clinic provides a specific care plan to protect the new skin during this time.
- Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure for 30 days and use SPF 50+ daily.
- Activity Limits: Avoid intense exercise for at least 1 week after the session.
- Skin Rest: Do not apply makeup for 5 to 7 days and never pick at crusts.
- Safety Check: Wait 6 months after finishing isotretinoin before starting this laser.
Safety at Amato Day Hospital
Procedures take place within the in-house Amato Day Hospital. This setting provides a dedicated anesthesia and recovery team for every patient. This controlled environment helps prevent infections and manages comfort during more intense treatments. The clinic follows strict protocols for international patients to make the journey smooth and safe. If you have active skin infections or are currently pregnant, you should delay the procedure.

Amato Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic
Accreditations and Specialist Credentials
The clinic maintains affiliations with major international and national organizations. These include the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). TEMOS accredits it for international patient care standards. The practice is led by Dr. Fernando Amato, who holds specialist registrations CRM/SP 133826 and RQE 51573.
Dr. Fernando Amato completed his medical training and plastic surgery residency at the Federal University of São Paulo. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). His surgical approach relies on evidence-based protocols and individualized planning. Every patient receives a detailed written discussion of risks and expectations before any procedure.
Reconstructive and Aesthetic Breast Surgery
The practice is a reference center for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and oncologic repairs. Surgeons perform both immediate and delayed reconstructions. Techniques include autologous flaps, tissue expanders, and silicone implants. The final stage often involves areola reconstruction using 3D tattooing for a natural appearance.
Aesthetic breast procedures cover a wide range of patient needs:
- Breast augmentation using Motiva implants with integrated microchips
- Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
- Complex breast reduction cases, including tissue removal exceeding 1.9 kg
- Correction of tuberous breasts and breast asymmetry
- Specialized breast implant removal (explant) services
Patients undergoing breast reconstruction typically stay 1–4 days. Drains are usually removed within 14 days. Most return to work after 3 weeks.
Body Contouring and Specialized Treatments
The clinic offers surgical management for lipedema and post-bariatric body remodeling. Lipedema treatment involves 12–24 hours of hospitalization. Patients begin lymphatic drainage within 7 days and use compression therapy for up to 60 days. Body contouring for post-bariatric patients includes abdominoplasty variants like the 360-degree circumferential lift.
For male patients, the clinic provides gynecomastia surgery using a specific quilting technique. Dr. Fernando Amato developed this adhesion-suture method through his own scientific research. It reduces fluid buildup and often eliminates the need for surgical drains. Most patients return to light activities within 21 days.
Advanced Surgical Technologies
The surgical workflow integrates several energy-based platforms for better skin retraction and contouring. The clinic uses BodyTite and Morpheus8 for radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis and tissue remodeling. Surgeons also use VASER and LipoSound technologies for precise fat emulsification. Facial procedures may include endoscopic lifting and CO2 laser resurfacing.
International Patient Services
Amato Plastic Surgery provides structured planning for patients traveling from abroad. The clinic offers online consultations to review medical history and standardized photos. The team helps with recovery logistics, including discounted rates at partner hotels in São Paulo. Support is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.
Postoperative care includes a direct communication channel via a dedicated WhatsApp group. This connects the patient, nursing team, and surgeon for continuous guidance. The clinic schedules follow-up reviews at 6 and 12 months to monitor long-term results at no extra cost.
