Approved by FDA, PPx is a patented technology and the first painless light-based therapy for lightening pigmented lesions & dark flat moles, vascular lesions, permanent hair removal and facial rejuvenation.

Photorejuvenation of the face produces firmer, even-toned and more youthful skin with smaller pores by removing fine facial wrinkling, brown pigmentation or freckles caused by sun damage and redness caused by small broken blood vessels. The light energy is transformed into heat energy in the deeper layer of the skin where it stimulates formation of new collagen. This new collagen production helps to erase fine lines and smoothen wrinkles and gives facial skin a more youthful glowing texture.

PPx therapy result in fair skin with an even-toned by removing the brown pigmentation, freckles, age spots and sun spots of the face caused by sun damage, age or pregnancy. The light energy is absorbed by the melanin cells in the deeper layer of the skin, transformed in to heat energy and effectively destroyed.

PPx therapy reduced redness and flushing cause by broken capillaries, blood vessels and rosacea as well as spider veins,. The light energy when applied to the vascular targets is converted to heat energy and absorbed, effectively destroying them.

PPx therapy result in smooth and hairless skin without the weekly & painful visit to the salon for waxing. The light energy is absorbed by the in the hair follicles in the deeper layer of the skin, transformed in to heat energy and effectively destroying the hair follicle.

PPx therapy's patented process combines the unique properties of therapeutic light with pneumatic energy to bring you a breakthrough method for the treatment of unwanted hair, uneven pigment, unwanted veins and for facial rejuvenation.

As the pneumatic energy is able to bring target closer to the surface of the skin, it PPx uses 4x less light energy than other light based technology (e.g. IPL). PPx therapy is painless because energy is concentrated in areas to be destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal tissue. This also makes PPx therapy safer than other treatment modalities.

Its benefits include:
• Painless
• Safer, Less Risk of Burns
• Require No Pre-Treatments with Topical Anesthetics
• Faster
• No Recovery Time

"With traditional lasers and light based systems, there is a very fine line between effectiveness and collateral damage. Photopneumatic Therapy significantly widens this gap by dramatically increasing photon absorption, reducing the overall energy required and widening the otherwise very narrow safety margins," said Vic Narurkar, M.D., director and founder of the Bay Area Laser Institute in San Francisco.

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 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.

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.

There are no post-treatment regimens associated with PPx Therapy. So once your treatment is done, you are free to resume your normal activities.
