Isolaz™ Acne treatments

Laser Skin Treatment for Acne

Isolaz™ is the world's only aesthetic technology that combines vacuum with a painless laser:

Vacuum: Helps loosen and extract dirt, blackheads and excess oil from deep within your pores.

Painless Laser: Helps destroy acne causing bacteria, uneven skin tone, sun damaged skin, facial redness and veins as well as unwanted hair.

This incredible therapy, called Photopneumatics™ (Photo = Light, Pneumatics = vacuum), is a proprietary technology available only with Isolaz™ treatments.

Isolaz™ is quick, easy and painless. In fact, many people have their treatments done during lunch without any downtime. Additionally, patients have found their skin feels tighter and has a healthy radiant glow following Isolaz therapy. Also, Isolaz™ therapy is effective on all skin types.

The Isolaz™ vacuum applies gentle pressure on your pores while the painless laser helps destroy the acne causing bacteria. This helps soften and remove blackheads, dead cells and other debris from deep in your pores resulting in radiant, clear skin that is purified from the inside out. Watch video on how Isolaz works.

Small facial veins and broken capillaries

Are those small facial viens annoying you? Call today and schedule your consultation today to discuss Gemini laser treatments. The Gemini laser is used to eliminate small, red-to-purple spider veins that appear most commonly on the face, but are also found on the neck and chest. Also known as telangiestasias, spider veins can be caused by rosacea, hormones, oral contraceptives, sun exposure or the aging process. Treatment generally takes just a few minutes; however, the time varies according to the number of vessels requiring treatment. Depending on the type of vessels involved (darker or purple veins are more difficult to remove than pink or red ones), multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve optimal results. Repeat treatments are spaced at four- to six-week intervals.

Surgical Scars

Wanting to reduce the appearance of acne scarring or a surgical scar? Dr Peter Jenkin a board certified dermatologists with over 30 years of cosmetic laser surgery provides cosmetic laser treatments to reduce the appearance of acne and surgical scar. Cosmetic laser treatments can reduce the appearance of keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, and atrophic scars, which have the following characteristics:

Keloid Scarring: Firm, raised, and reddish-purple scars that extend beyond the initial wound area and builds over time.
Hypertrophic Scarring: Firm, raised, and pink scars that remain within the initial wound area and possibly naturally regress over time.
Atrophic Scarring: Depressed pin-like pockets in the skin that can result from skin conditions or diseases such as acne.

During laser scar removal treatments, the laser is moved along the scar. This vaporizes or removes a layer of skin and exposes a more natural-looking skin layer, which heals over time to minimize scar appearance. Depending on the severity of your scarring you might need one treatment or several. Dermatology Associates offers the Fraxel® by Solta Medical laser for the treatment of acne and surgical scars
