Isolaz is a SAFE, FDA-cleared, non-invasive, painless, gentle way of treating acne with light.

Isolaz® is effective for all skin types and on the most commonly afflicted areas: the face, chest, and back. A skilled aesthetician performs Isolaz® over a period of pre-scheduled office appointments. Even if you’ve had previous failures with acne-fighting medicines or treatments, Isolaz® may be the answer you’ve been looking for!

You will experience minimal downtime and side effects after undergoing an Isolaz profusion. There will be little need for medications or antibiotics for most individuals.

Isolaz works to remove blemishes, alleviate acne breakouts, and pimples on nearly all skin tones. Safely extract dirt and experience more radiant skin once more with the most effective acne treatment available for just about all types of acne. The Isolaz acne laser is safe and more effective than topical creams.

Your treatment area will be safely worked on with our Isolaz acne light treatments that offer deep pore cleansing.

INDICATIONS

  • Comedonal and pustular acne
  • Deep pore purification

THE SCIENCE

The Isolaz Profusion System is the only FDA approved device to treat comedonal and pustular acne.

  • It is an innovative therapy based on the photopneumatic concept which uses vacuum to clear pores of clogging material and skin debris while simultaneously delivering laser light that kills acne-causing bacteria.
  • Isolaz is manufactured by the Aesthera Corporation, Pleasanton, CA.

THE TREATMENT

  • Appropriate eye protection is provided
  • Sessions take 15 minutes and are repeated every 2 weeks for 3 to 5 treatments.
  • Two passes are made over the entire face or other acne affected areas. A vacuum gently lifts the acne impurities closer to the skin’s surface and extract the whiteheads and blackheads. In a fraction of a second, a painless laser helps destroy acne causing bacteria, shrink pore size and decrease oil production.
  • Pustules are then individually treated with extra passes in order to empty their content and get better exposure to the laser light
  • Patients often obtain dramatic improvement early on.
  • The more resistant patients are treated with additional photodynamic therapy.
