PTT laser (gold microparticle photothermal acne therapy)
from 85 reviews11 clinics
Gold microparticles are massaged into the sebaceous follicles and then heated with a long-pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser, so that absorbed energy is concentrated at the sebaceous gland rather than spread through the skin. The FDA-cleared protocol uses three sessions given one to two weeks apart.
