- Isolaz, a new laser based acne treatment from Solta (makers of Fraxel and Thermage), gives excellent results in clearing up acne and leaving skin clearer, cleaner and with impeccably clean pores
- When undergoing an Isolaz laser skin treatment, your skin will be cleansed and prepared; a quick view of your skin will determine the right setting for an Isolaz tip based on the amount of melanin in your skin and the location of the blemishes or acne
- Photodynamic Therapy (Kerastik) for Acne Photodynamic therapy (PDT) kills the p.acnes bacteria in your skin, decreases sebum production and provides long term improvement of inflammatory or cystic (not comedonal) acne
- Isolaz has few side effects other than some minimal redness and some initial possible increased acne surfacing due to the process.
- The product, called Kerastick, is applied topically (directly on the skin) and allowed to absorb painlessly for approximately 1 hour into the sebaceous glands of the skin.
- If the medications are not working then you might want to consider this procedure
- Not every patient will do well with PDT
- A Dermatologist needs to do a full History and Physical Exam and spend at least 15 to 45 Minutes with you during your consult to give you different options
- It is vital to undergo a full pre assessment to ensure that your skin type is fully assessed and to be accurate about your medical history. This particular procedure might not be the right treatment for you. It is crucial that the Doctor does a full History and Physical Examination and listens to your concerns. It very important to understand the individual needs of each patient because one procedure could work on one patient and then not another.
