Abstract
Photopneumatic therapy (PPT) combines vacuum and pulsed, broadband light to extract debris and bacteria from the pilosebaceous units; monotherapy is unexplored. Facial acne lesions and skin texture were evaluated after up to six PPT treatments, 1-2 weeks apart for 15-20 minutes per treatment using customized energy settings, in seven female patients with inflammatory, comedonal and pustular lesions. Lesion and redness reduction with improvement in skin texture and pore size were observed after 1-3 treatments; adverse effects were infrequent. PPT may optimize lesion clearance as monotherapy and/or as an adjuvant. The ability to change pulse structure, pulse duration, vacuum pressure and fluence allow for treatment that best matches skin type and acne severity.
期刊介绍：
A unique journal that focuses on the application of cosmetic laser and light therapies on the skin. The Journal of Cosmetic & Laser Therapy provides a forum for stimulating and up-to-date studies demonstrating the wide range of therapeutic options for clinicians and surgeons involved in cosmetic and dermatological treatment.
The journal is aimed at dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, plastic and facial plastic surgeons, oculoplastic surgeons and all those interested in the rapidly expanding field of cosmetic and laser therapy.
Features include:
-Cosmetic surgery, including facial rejuvenation, hair removal and skin resurfacing
-Use of lasers and other light sources for cosmetic and dermatological treatment
