PPx Therapy is a breakthrough aesthetic treatment that uses a revolutionary combination of pneumatic energy and broadband light. PPx treatments are no pain treatments that are clinically proven effective and safe treatments for:

Age spots or brown blotchy pigmentation on the skin
Broken capillaries or broken blood vessels that cause "redness" and
Telangiectasias or fine facial veins

How are these treated?
A hygienic treatment tip gently draws the area to be treated into the handpiece of the Aesthera PPx system. This "pulling" up motion brings all the unwanted targets (unwanted red and brown spots, unwanted veins) closer to the surface of the skin.

Light energy, when gently applied to the targets, is converted to heat energy and absorbed by the targets, quickly, painlessly and effectively destroying them.

Have patients been happy with their results?

• PPx is safe and patients have been extremely happy with their results from PPx Therapy.  According to a recent clinical study, 100% of patients surveyed noted that they would choose PPx over previously experienced laser and light based treatments for skin rejuvenation. 
   

How does PPx Skin Rejuvenation feel?

• PPx Rejuvenation 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 supplied 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.
   

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

• PPx is a fast, no-down-time procedure.  You can resume normal activities including going back to work immediately post treatment.
   

Will I need anesthesia?

• No, PP is no pain treatment. No anesthesia or numbing creams are necessary.

How many treatments will I need?

• The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated.  For example, facial skin rejuvenation may require five treatments at three week intervals. 
   

How is PPx Therapy different from other laser and light based hair removal treatments available?

• PPx therapy is the first and only therapy to effectively combine pneumatic energy (pressure) with broadband light. PPx therapy differs from other laser and light based treatments in that they are 5x more efficient in the delivery of energy to unwanted pigment and veins. This highly efficient delivery of energy allows PPx therapy to use a fraction of the energy that other treatments require. PPx therapy is painless because energy is concentrated in the target to be destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal tissue. This also makes PPx therapy safer than other treatment modalities.
   
• Treatments are relaxing and not associated with side effects such as the redness, crusting or other usual post treatment discomforts*. PPx therapy is 4 to 7 times faster than treatments with other laser or light based technologies. It does do not require pre-treatments with topical anesthetics or cooling gels, resulting in reducing treatment time by 35 - 45 minutes.
   
• Tips provide you with personalized hygienic treatments while eliminating the risks of cross contamination and are uniquely customized to treat a wide range of conditions and body parts.

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.
