Aerolase
offers the newest technology for laser therapy
in treating acne vulgaris. The highly powerful
yet gentle laser pulses superheat the sebaceous
gland and its surroundings, where the p. acnes
bacteria congregate. The treatment is fast and
hygienic as nothing touches the skin except a
beam of laser light. With the LightPod Neo
laser, the practitioner can now effectively and
safely treat both pediatric and adult acne
patients, regardless of skin type (Caucasian,
Asian, Indian or African, Hispanic etc.) and
reduce the use of antibiotics.
Right after treatment with the Neo, most
patients report less irritation and drier skin
in the treated areas. The treated skin has a
calmer appearance with less redness. The net
result is visible clearance of active acne even
after a single treatment, although 4 to 6
treatments are recommended for profound long
term improvement of acne. In addition to
promoting acne clearance, clinical research has
also shown that treatments with the Neo also
help to visibly reduce acne scars – which often
appear in the same treatment areas as the active
acne. Clinical research also shown that LightPod
Neo treatments will reduce the PIH
(Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) which
often occurs in darker skin as result of acne.
The LightPod Neo laser is the most advanced and
efficacious for acne treatment. In contrast to
the prior generation of aesthetic lasers, the
Neo delivers optimal and exceptionally high
power (up to 20,000 watts per pulse) to
effectively superheat the sebaceous gland and
its surroundings. This technology stems from
multiple scientific advances by Aerolase:
1. The unique ability of high-power, long
wavelength 1064nm laser energy to penetrate
deeper as compared to any other laser/light
modality. This allows the energy to effectively
reach sebaceous glands located in the dermis for
maximum heating and bacterial destruction. Other
light-based devices, including IPL and diode
lasers which do not possess such deep heating
power, often apply ‘sucking mechanisms’ to the
skin in order to bring the targeted sebaceous
glands closer to the skin surface, in an attempt
to compensate for their limited power. The
LightPod Neo is uniquely able to treat acne
without touching the skin at all. Those other
systems that contact the skin make the procedure
messy and less hygienic as they may spread the
p. acnes bacteria from affected to unaffected
skin sites.
2. The Neo is a1064nm laser modality which
selectively targets water, melanin, and
hemoglobin – all three of which represent the
main components of the sebaceous gland including
its supporting vasculature and the sebum. In
contrast, sub-infrared diode laser and IPL
modalities are not sufficiently absorbed in
water and thus are less efficient for acne
treatment.
3. The deep-penetrating LightPod Neo laser
energy also affects the hair shaft and follicle,
eliminating the presence of hairs and reducing
the probability that sebum will block the pores.
4. The Neo’s unique 0.65millisecond laser pulse
duration heats the sebaceous gland faster than
the TRT (Thermal Relaxation Time) of skin,
minimizing the loss of heat through conduction
to the surrounding skin tissue. Other types of
lasers, which use 10 to 50 millisecond pulse
durations, result in substantial heat loss to
the skin which reduces the temperature and
diminishes bacterial destruction; it also makes
the treatment much more painful from the heating
of nerve endings in the surrounding skin. |
