Dr. Lee’s office introduces FDA-APPROVED ISOLAZ ACNE TREATMENTS
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008You’ve read about it in the news, now you can try it in the office of Dr. Ben Lee.
Dr. Lee has invested in the new Isolaz™, a revolutionary acne laser treatment using Photopneumatics™.
Debbie Brinkman, CMA and Clinical Coordinator, performs the Isolaz treatments and is a trainer for area doctors and nurses on the Isolaz laser.
Newspapers worldwide reported on the new treatment and the speed with which the FDA allowed the new technology to come to market. Approved in a record 45 days, Isolaz has already made a difference in the lives of patients who have suffered endlessly from acne.
The 10-minute treatment (a series of 5 – 7 treatments is recommended depending on the severity of acne) produces immediate results that show up within 24 – 48 hours. The Isolaz uses a simultaneous vacuum and laser application that draws blackheads and impurities to the surface of the skin while exposing them to the painless pulsed laser light.
The Isolaz treats pustular and comedonal acne as well as mild to moderate and acne vulgaris. Patients experience 30 – 50% reduction in redness, drying and flattening of blemishes after the first treatment and 85% of patients suffering from acne who were treated using Isolaz showed improvement.
Besides managing acne, Isolaz treatments result in a visible reduction in pore size improved skin texture and complexion.
This breakthrough photopneumatic therapy suctions the skin and then beams the skin with an intense pulsed light—eliminating the deposits of oils and dirt and then beaming the skin with the IPL, a therapy that deactivates hyperactive oil glands and kills the bacteria they nourish.
Reports in U.S. News & World Report and Reuters tell of patients who have responded to Isolaz treatments. Some patients who saw immediate results reported that they’d nearly given up on controlling and eliminating their acne having spent years and thousands of dollars seeking remedies in prescription treatments and over-the-counter remedies. The best part, these patients report uniformly, is the speed with the Isolaz works, causing an immediate beneficial reaction, unlike prescription treatments that take up to months to have an effect.
The cost of treatment starts at $100 per session and requires periodic maintenance sessions, generally once a quarter, explains Debbie Brinkman, CNA and Clinical Coordinator for Dr. Lee. Brinkman is trained extensively to instruct physicians and nurses state-wide on the use of the Isolaz laser.
Rated as one of the 3 hottest products at the 2007 American Academy of Dermatology conference, Isolaz is the top-rated choice for acne treatment and has also been used to treat sun-damaged skin, removing brown spots and tiny broken capillaries associated with rosacea, plus it is also FDA cleared to perform permanent hair reduction.
Hair removal on the back and legs can take 20 minutes while treatments on the face take 10 minutes. Another benefit is that Isolaz does not cause sensitivity to light. The treatment can be used on all skin types and there is no downtime following treatment.
Depending on the particular patient’s needs, some will require continued use of topical treatments while undergoing the series of Isolaz treatments, says Dr. Lee. Patients who only get a breakout occasionally can also benefit from Isolaz because the vacuum action removes dirt and oil, leaving the skin radiant.
