Painless Hair Removal and Skin Rejuvenation Treatments now available at Spa Julianna!

Until recently, hair removal and skin rejuvenation were painful and time-consuming procedures.  Aesthera Photopneumatic Therapy (PPx) has changed all this! 

Spa Julianna in conjunction with MedSpa Direct is very pleased to be the first in the Detroit Metro to introduce the revolutionary Photopneumatic Therapy (PPx) PAINLESS hair removal and skin rejuvenation treatments. The Photopneumatic Therapy is a safe, effective, FDA approved and PAINLESS method of laser hair removal, photo rejuvenation, vein treatment and acne treatment.   

What is PPx Therapy?

PPx Therapy is a breakthrough aesthetic treatment that uses a revolutionary combination of pneumatic energy and broadband light. PPx treatments are no pain treatments that are clinically proven effective and safe treatments for:

           Hair removal

           Acne

           Age spots or brown blotchy pigmentation of the skin

           Broken capillaries or broken blood vessels that cause "redness"

           Telangiectasias or fine facial veins. 

How is PPx different from other laser and light based treatments for hair removal and skin rejuvenation?

There are several key differences between PPx and other laser and light based skin rejuvenation and hair removal treatments.

1. PPx Therapy is painless because it uses the latest breakthrough PPx technology. This latest breakthrough uses a fraction of the energy that other treatments require. This means it is gentle and very safe.

2. PPx Therapy does not require any pre-treatment with anesthesia or numbing gels.

3. Treatments are faster. PPx therapy is 4 to 7 times faster than treatments with other laser or light based technologies. 

4. PPX treatments are more hygienic with no risk of infection.

5. Treatments are relaxing and not associated with side effects such as the redness or other usual post treatment discomforts.

Is the procedure safe?

Yes, PPx Therapy is very safe. As a matter of fact, PPx Therapy is up to 5 times more efficient in the concentrated delivery of energy, so it uses a fraction of the energy normally used. This makes it safer and pain free compared to other treatment modalities. 

As the above graph indicates, when compared to other treatment technologies, PPx therapy uses lower overall energies. Energy is concentrated in the target to be destroyed, protecting  the surrounding normal tissue.  As a result, PPx therapy is associated with no pain and is up to 5 times safer than traditional laser treatment methods.

PPx therapy is painless because energy is concentrated in the target to be destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal tissue. This also makes PPx therapy safer than other treatment modalities.

Treatments are relaxing and not associated with side effects such as the redness, crusting or other usual post treatment discomforts*. PPx therapy is 4 to 7 times faster than treatments with other laser or light based technologies. It does do not require pre-treatments with topical anesthetics or cooling gels, resulting in reducing treatment time by 35 - 45 minutes.

Have patients been happy with their results?

Yes, patients have been extremely happy with their results from PPx Therapy. According to a recent clinical study, 100% of patients surveyed noted that they would choose PPx over previously experienced laser and light based treatment for skin rejuvenation and hair removal (Novel Photopneumatic therapy delivers high-efficiency photons to dermal targets, Vic Narukar, MD, Vol 18, No 2, Feb 2005, Cosmetic Dermatology).

How does PPx feel?

PPx therapy’s patented process combines the unique properties of therapeutic light with pressure (pneumatic energy) to bring you a breakthrough method for the treatment of unwanted hair, uneven pigment and unwanted veins. You will feel a gentle and warm sensation as your skin is drawn into the treatment tip. A very gentle light energy will be applied to the treatment area. Immediately after that, you will feel your skin being gently released back into normal position. Patients describe the sensation as being similar to that of a warm massage.

Do I need to take time off work to recuperate?

You can resume normal activities including going back to work immediately post treatment.

Will I need anesthesia?

No. PPx Therapy is a no pain treatment and no anesthesia or numbing creams are necessary!

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated. For example, facial skin rejuvenation may require 5 treatments at 3 to 4 week intervals; severe acne may require 4 treatments at 1 to 2 week intervals, and 3-7 treatments are typically required for permanent hair removal. However, the exact number of treatments necessary will vary from person to person; your treatment provider will detail recommendations for your skin.
