Gold PTT · Photothermal
Gold PTT
A treatment that penetrates gold nanoparticles into the sebaceous glands and then uses a laser to induce a selective photothermal reaction, helping to improve acne.
Effects
Expected Effects
- Regulates excess sebum production
- Eases inflammatory acne
- Improves pores
- Helps manage acne recurrence
How It Works
How This Equipment Works
Gold PTT is a treatment that applies the principle of selective photothermolysis. First, it goes through a process of using low-frequency ultrasound to penetrate gold nano(micro) particles deep into the pores and sebaceous glands.
Afterward, when a long-pulse laser in the 1064nm wavelength band is applied to the skin, the gold particles absorb the light energy and generate heat locally. This heat energy is known to act intensively around the sebaceous glands where the particles are located, applying stimulation to the enlarged sebaceous glands.
- Epidermal tissue without gold particles is relatively less affected
- Proceeds in an ultrasound penetration stage and a laser irradiation stage
- Used for the purpose of regulating sebum production and easing acne inflammation
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is there pain during the treatment?
A. You may feel warmth or a stinging sensation during the process of penetrating the particles with ultrasound and during laser irradiation, and the level of pain varies depending on an individual's skin sensitivity.
Q. How long does the treatment take?
A. Including the particle penetration and laser irradiation processes, it is often performed in about 30 minutes depending on the area, but it can vary depending on the extent and condition of the acne.
Q. Is there a recovery period or aftercare method after the treatment?
A. Right after the treatment, the face may temporarily appear golden or show redness and swelling, which usually tend to subside within a few days. During this period, avoiding sun exposure and the use of irritating ingredients is recommended.
Q. About how many sessions are needed to expect results?
A. Depending on the severity of the acne and the condition of the sebaceous glands, repeated treatments over several sessions are often needed, and the exact number and interval are best decided through a consultation after examination.
