AESTHERA
PHOTOPNEUMATIC THERAPY (PPx)
www.aesthera.com
HOW IT WORKS:
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.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
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.
NOTE: Since PPx therapy is designed to provide you with the safest and most
hygienic treatment experience available, your physician will use a brand new tip
for each treatment (hair removal, removal of unwanted pigment, removal of
unwanted veins) and body part (back, legs, upper lip, under arm etc) that you
have treated.
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.
