Clinical Pearls & Key Features:

  • The Isolaz acne therapy system harnesses the unique combination of vacuum extraction with broadband light. The combination of these two technologies creates a proprietary technology that provides deep pore purification and the clearance of existing acne while helping in the prevention of future breakouts
  • Isolaz helps treat acne through the following mechanisms:
    • Vacuum extraction cleanses pores by evacuating sebum and dislodging follicular ostia
    • Heat shocks the sebaceous gland and injures bacteria
    • Broadband light helps to destroy the P. acne bacteria
  • The Isolaz treatments are non-systemic, have no drug induced side effects or complications, and can be performed on all skintypes from mild to severe types of acne
  • Immediate results: reduced redness, clearing of skin discoloration, and flattening of blemishes within 24-48 hours1
  • Significant decrease in breakouts: including reduction in the number and severity of breakouts and associated amount of oil production2
  • 75% reduction in lesions within 2 months with non-responders to oral medications, topical medications and lasers3
  • Ancillary benefits include reduction in pore size, improvement in skin texture and tone2

Before and After:

Commentary:

"Isolaz has been a real game-changer for teens with acne. Many of these kids simply want their acne to go away over-night, and become impatient and frustrated with traditional acne therapies. A series of 2 to 3 Isolaz treatments can do wonders for teen inflammatory and comedonal acne, with significant improvement in as little as 2 weeks. I have even treated both of my teenage children with Isolaz, and thankfully the treatments did wonders for their acne."
