If you are concerned with the removal of unwanted hair, sun-damage, unwanted veins or pigmentary uneveness - "brown spots" or "redness" on your skin - and are looking for ways to resolve these conditions, look no further. Photopneumatic therapy (PPx) is a FDA-approved aesthetic therapy that offers highly effective no-pain treatments that are 4 - 5 times safer than other treatments.

PPx therapy’s patented process combines the unique properties of therapeutic light with pressure (pneumatic energy) to bring you a state-of-the-art method for the treatment of unwanted hair and common skin problems. 

Before treatment begins, soothing mist is applied to your skin, to hydrate it. Next, the PPx handpiece will be placed on the area to be treated. Based on your skin type (the amount of melanin in your skin) and the body part being treated, appropriate settings will be selected.

You will feel a gentle and warm sensation as your skin is drawn into the treatment tip. In less than a second, mild light energy will be applied and you will feel your skin being gently released back into normal position. Your treatment provider will then move on to the next treatment area, and repeat the process over the entire treatment area.

In a recent clinical study, 100% of patients reported no pain during treatment. Treatment sensation was most commonly described as being similar to that of a warm massage.  Photopneumatic therapy is very fast. Below is a comparison of typical treatment durations for commonly requested treatments.
