Laser IPL Painless Treatments using the PPX

With excellent training and many years of experience in the field of laser surgical procedures, Dr. Marcovici, an accomplished Board Certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist with academic appointments at both Yale University and University of Connecticut, decided to take the healing power of light to the next level in the fascinating area of Aesthetic Medicine.

Dr. Marcovici uses the Photopneumatic™ Therapy (Ppx™), the most advanced and first clinically proven painless treatment for permanent hair reduction, as well as the treatment of sun damaged and aging skin, generalized redness and broken capillaries, brown spots, as well as unsightly veins. This sophisticated treatment alternative requires no pre-treatment with anesthetics or numbing gels. Additionally, an entire back or full legs can be treated in less than 20 minutes. Unwanted hair, pigment and veins are treated with the most effective, safe and comfortable therapy available.

Painless Hair Removal:

PPxT therapy is a breakthrough aesthetic treatment using revolutionary combinations of pneumatic energy (pressure) and light to rid you of unwanted hair, uneven and blotchy pigmentation and unsightly veins. Those treatments are painless, safe, fast and effective.

What does the science tell us about hair growth? We know that many things influence hair growth: age, ethnicity, weight, metabolism, medication, and hormones. Hair grows in cycles- the active or growth (Anagen) phase, the dormant (Catagen) phase, and the fall-out (Telogen) phase. Medical science found that the laser/IPL devices treats only the hair in the Anagen (growth) phase, and different areas of the body have different growth cycles.

This is how the laser/IPL works: the laser light passes through your skin's surface to the tiny hair follicles where hair growth originates. The intense heat damages the hair follicle, which inhibits hair growth. It takes several treatments to provide an extended hair-free period. Therefore, we must treat each at the specific time it is in the growth phase for the treatment to be effective. Since other hairs will enter their growth cycles at different times, an average of 4-6 treatments will be necessary to disable all of the follicles in a given area. If you have unwanted hair, our IPL PPX™ uses broadband technology to damage hair follicles for long-term hair removal.

Rosacea Therapy:

Rosacea is a skin condition that produces redness and flushing of the cheeks, nose and chin. There is no cure for Rosacea, but a series of treatments using PPX™ will help control the symptoms. The treatment is easy, painless and there is virtually no downtime.

Sun Damage (Brown Spots):

Aesthera PPX™ uses pressure and light energy that is selectively absorbed by the target melanin in the pigmented lesions and not by the surrounding tissue. Treatment is easy, and there is virtually no downtime.

Melasma:

Melasma (The Mask of Pregnancy) shows improvement to the PPX™ therapy.

Acne Therapy:

Acne is a disorder of the sebaceous glands that results in plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions. PPX™ technology (FDA approved for treatment of acne)is a revolutionary, painless way to treat acne. This treatment effectively clears inflammatory acne lesions with excellent results. Each treatment is easy, and there is virtually no downtime.
