The latest development in light based technology is known as Photopneumatic Therapy. Photopneumatic Therapy is a USA FDA cleared therapy by Aesthera and Isolaz which offers one of the most highly effective skin rejuvenation treatments available today.
Aeshtera/Isolaz PPX therapy is a relatively safe, highly effective and relatively painless treatment. It's so low maintenance that you could easily pop into your practitioner's office during your lunch break to undergo a session. Unlike other laser and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, the new Aesthera /Isolaz uses less than half the power of other IPL machines to rejuvenate the skin, and gives it an immediate youthful-looking glow.
This is an ideal treatment for all skin types and is popular among both men and women with young and older skin. As well as revitalizing the skin while giving it a healthy and smooth appearance, PPX treatments are also effective in treating a range of other conditions. These include: Blotchy and Uneven Skin Pigmentation, Active Acne, Redness of the Skin, Acne Rosacea, Brown Spots, Freckles, Sun Damaged Skin, Facial Thread Veins and Skin Rejuvenation. These are all common effects of ageing, sun exposure, smoke and other external and environmental pollutants.
PPX is not only for the face. It can be done to enhance other areas of the body, such as the chest and it is the only laser treatment which has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of comedonal acne (blackheads & whiteheads), which is a rather pesky and fairly difficult condition to treat. As we age and our skin is exposed to the sun, smoke, and other pollutants, it undergoes a series of fundamental changes that result in uneven and blotchy pigmentation, redness, brown spots and unsightly veins. These very visible signs of aging can now be addressed with this exciting and breakthrough new therapy. One of the main benefits of PPX therapy is the stimulation of fibroblasts, collagen-producing cells which increase collagen production and result in skin tightening.
There are several key differences between PPx and other laser and light based skin rejuvenation treatments. Benefits are:
PPX therapy offers superior results with the most advanced treatment technology. Treatments are gentle and painless.Treatments are faster. Facial rejuvenation may take between 3-5 minutes, while treating a large area such as both of your arms for sun damage may take up to 10 minutes.PPx does not require pre-treatment with anesthetics or numbing creams.Treatments are more hygienic with no risk of infection.
Patients across the globe have been extremely happy with their results from the PPX therapy. According to a recent clinical study, 100% of patients surveyed noted that they would choose PPX over previously experienced laser and light based treatments for skin rejuvenation.
During a typical session, patients will feel a gentle and warm sensation as the skin is drawn into the treatment tip. A very slight light energy will be applied to the treatment area. Immediately following this, you will feel your skin being gently released back into normal state. Patients describe the sensation as being similar to that of a warm massage.
Dr. Maria Khattar, Managing Director of Dubai's Aesthetica Clinic says, "PPX is a rather quick and convenient procedure which allows patients to resume normal activities including going back to work right after undergoing treatment. The number of sessions varies from person to person and depends on the condition. We are thrilled to have this very efficient treatment at the clinic and our patients have greatly benefited from its results."
So, even if you have neglected your skin and it has been subject to damage, there is no reason to worry with the PPX treatment you can restore, heighten or maintain that special skin glow.
