Isolaz Laser: Isolaz Pore Cleansing Photopneumatic therapy

Isolaz™ - A Breakthrough, Painless Laser Treatment for Acne and clogged pores

Recently, the FDA cleared a new treatment for acne called Isolaz™. Rated as one of the three hottest products at the 2007 American Academy of Dermatology conference, Isolaz™ laser uses a breakthrough technology called Photopneumatics™ that purifies your pores from the inside out.

No matter your age, skin type or type of acne, Isolaz™ deep pore purification is a revolutionary way to improve your complexion. Isolaz™ is a breakthrough technology for the following reasons:

•	It is a painless laser treatment for acne.
•	It is the only system that purifies your pores from the inside.
•	It is the only system that combines vacuum and laser to help destroy acne causing bacteria.
•	It is the only FDA system cleared to treat comedonal (blackheads and whiteheads), pustular and cystic acne.
•	Isolaz™ clinical studies show rapid results within 24-48 hours, including reduced redness, reduction of skin discoloration and rapid drying/flattening of the blemish.
•	People who have tried Isolaz™ have reported a visible reduction in pore size, improved skin tone and texture for a radiant, healthier looking complexion.
•	Isolaz™ pore-purification therapy helps jump-start treatments, helping your skin absorb medicines and moistures better and is a great way to maintain results.

Isolaz is often effective on non-responders to traditional therapies including patients who had tried topical or oral acne medicines or other lasers.

How does Isolaz Laser work?

Isolaz is the only aesthetic device that combines vacuum and laser for their synergistic benefits. The vacuum helps to loosen and extract dirt, blackheads and excess oil from deep within your pores. The specialized wavelength of light delivered to your skin helps to destroy acne causing bacteria. This combined treatment process, called Photopneumatic therapy, is unique to the Isolaz. Additional benefits include a more even complexion and revitalized skin tone.

How does Isolaz feel?

Isolaz is very comfortable. You will feel a gentle and warm sensation as your skin is drawn into the treatment tip. A very gentle light energy will be applied to the treatment area, immediately after which you will feel your skin being gently released back into normal position. Patients describe the sensation as being similar to that of a warm massage. No anesthetic or numbing creams are required.

Do I need to take time off from work or school to recuperate?

Isolaz is a fast, no down-time procedure. You can resume normally activities including going back to work immediately post treatment. Tanning and sun exposure should be avoided before and after treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

For acne, we generally recommend an initial series of 4 treatments, provided at 1-2 week intervals. We then do two more treatments, spaced a month apart. A schedule for maintenance is then customized for you, based on severity of your acne.

Can topical or oral medicines be used concurrent with the Isolaz treatments?

Yes. We can further enhance results when topical or oral medicines are combined with Isolaz treatments. We can often simplify and decrease the number of medicines patients have been accustomed to take for their acne.

Can I use Isolaz to keep pores clean and open if I don’t have acne?

Yes. This is called deep pore cleansing and this is a welcomed by many patients who previously had no options for this type of treatment.

Can I combine Isolaz with other acne or acne scar laser treatments?

Yes, most definetly. We use Isolaz in combination with Smoothbeam laser, Fraxel for the added benefit of pore purification and acne reduction offered by the Isolaz.

Can Isolaz be used in patients with darker skin?

Yes, the Isolaz is safe to use in all skin types. For patients with darker skin, we use a specialized tip designed especially for this use.
