Fotona Micropeel for Strawberry Skin Treatment, Keratosis Pilaris (KP) & Folliculitis – Auckland, NZ

Smooth bumpy “chicken skin”, refine pores and improve strawberry legs with Fotona Dynamis Pro laser micropeel.

If you struggle with strawberry skin, strawberry legs, keratosis pilaris (KP / chicken skin), or folliculitis bumps, you are not alone. These concerns are extremely common on the upper arms, thighs, buttocks and calves, causing skin to feel rough, bumpy, and look dotted with visible follicles.

At Lanreé Aesthetics (Auckland, New Zealand), we offer a highly effective solution using Fotona Dynamis Pro SupErficial™ Micropeel, a medical-grade Er:YAG laser peel designed to smooth texture, clear follicle congestion, and improve the appearance of strawberry skin and KP safely and consistently.

What is Strawberry Skin / Strawberry Legs?

Strawberry skin (sometimes called strawberry legs) describes the appearance of small dark dots on the skin, often caused by:

• blocked hair follicles

• trapped keratin (dead skin build-up)

• oil and debris inside pores

• post-inflammatory pigmentation

• irritation from shaving, waxing, friction, or tight clothing

These dots are especially noticeable on legs and can be accompanied by rough bumps, dryness, or sensitivity.

What is Keratosis Pilaris (KP / Chicken Skin)?

Keratosis pilaris (KP) is a common skin condition where keratin builds up and blocks hair follicles, creating:

• rough “sandpaper” texture

• small raised bumps

• redness or irritation

• uneven skin tone

KP is most commonly seen on upper arms, thighs and buttocks, and can be stubborn with normal exfoliation.

What is Folliculitis?

Folliculitis is inflammation of the hair follicles. It may appear as:

• red bumps

• small pimples

• itchy or irritated patches

• recurring “breakouts” on body areas

It can be triggered by bacteria, sweat, friction, shaving, or blocked follicles. A professional treatment plan can significantly reduce recurrence.

Why We Recommend Fotona Dynamis Pro Micropeel

Our Fotona Dynamis Pro Micropeel uses Er:YAG laser technology, which is absorbed by water in the skin. This makes it ideal for a controlled, precise peel because it can gently remove the outer layers of congestion and dead skin with micron-level precision.

This treatment supports:

✅ smoother, softer body skin

✅ reduced follicle congestion

✅ fewer bumps and rough patches

✅ improved appearance of strawberry dots

✅ brighter, cleaner-looking skin tone

✅ refined pores and texture

In short: it is an advanced laser micropeel for strawberry skin that targets the root issue—blocked follicles + built-up keratin.
