PPx therapy’s patented process combines the
unique properties of therapeutic light with
pressure (pneumatic energy) to bring you a
breakthrough method for the treatment of unwanted
hair, uneven pigment and unwanted
veins.
A “pulling up” motion gently lifts a small
amount of the treatment area into a specially
designed hygienic treatment tip. Targets
(unwanted hair, unwanted pigments and unsightly
veins) are lifted and brought closer to the
skin’s surface. When therapeutic light is applied,
the light is converted to a gentle heat energy
which is absorbed by the target (unwanted hair,
unwanted pigments and unsightly veins). The energy
applied is concentrated in the target to be
destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal
tissue. Skin is then instantly returned to
its normal position and the treatment handpiece is
moved onto the next treatment area. The process is
repeated until the entire treatment area is
covered.
PPx Therapy : Up to
5 times Safer
*
PPx therapy is upto 5x efficient in
the delivery of energy to unwanted hair,
pigment and veins. This highly efficient
delivery of energy allows PPx therapy to use a
fraction of the energy that other treatments
require, making PPx therapy safer than other
treatment modalities.*
As the above graph indicates, when compared to
other treatment technologies, PPx therapy uses
lower overall energies. Energy is
concentrated in the target to be destroyed,
protecting the surrounding normal tissue. As a
result, PPx therapy is associated with no pain and
is up to 5 times safer than traditional laser
treatment methods.
PPx therapy is a revolutionary skin treatment
that was designed with your complete safety and
comfort in mind.
Before the
Treatment:
Before treatment begins,
your physician will apply a soothing mist to your
skin, to hydrate it.
During Treatment:
Your
treatment provider will place the Aesthera
handpiece on the area to be treated. Based on your
skin type (the amount of melanin in your skin) and
the body part being treated, appropriate settings
will be selected.
You will feel a gentle and warm sensation as
your skin is drawn into the treatment tip. In less
than a second, mild light energy will be applied
and you will feel your skin being gently released
back into normal position. Your treatment provider
will then move on to the next treatment area, and
repeat the process over the entire treatment
area.
In a recent clinical study, 100% of patients
reported no pain during treatment. Treatment
sensation was most commonly described as being
similar to that of a warm massage.
Photopneumatic therapy is very fast. Below is a
comparison of typical treatment durations for
commonly requested treatments.
