So, what is happening recently with true advances in the understanding of pathophysiology and clinical management of acne and rosacea that are currently being researched?

A cross-sectional study of 64 adults in New York City with and without moderate/severe acne found a significant association between dietary carbohydrate consumption and acne, which the authors said merited further study.

Treating acne with lasers is not a new concept, but Aerolase has made the process more effective and safer.

The last big change to the dermatology practice model was incorporating cosmetic services. In the beginning, when just a few cosmetic services were offered, little change was needed to the practice structure. As more cosmetic services were added, a separate cosmetic division was often created.

The US FDA approved Neo can erase acne in just four to six sessions, while also removing the marks.

When choosing to visit a laser clinic, it is highly important to understand what laser technology the clinic will be using and how experienced the laser practitioner/operator is. This is one of the major reasons that Aerolase has dedicated its technology to be extremely safe and easy to use.

We have a protocol of three monthly PRP injections with Aerolase deep tissue heating with microsecond YAG technology and Cellutone shock/vibration therapy to improve blood flow to the penile tissue, increasing vitality, sensitivity, the ability to get erections, and pleasure during sex.

This new 1064 laser eliminates pain, burns, and adverse effects that were seen in previous generations of 1064 lasers, according to Gold. It can be used to treat acne, hair removal, photo-rejuvenation, facial veins, and rosacea.

She checked my skin, smiled, and said, “We have the perfect treatment for you. Neo Facial will give you an instant glow and the glow will stay for at least 6 weeks. Plus, there won’t be any side effects, and yes, your sensitive skin will be happy.”

In 2016, the American Academy of Dermatology published updated guidelines1 for the care of patients with acne vulgaris. Members of the workgroup reviewed the currently available literature on acne medications and assessed the reliability of the data to provide guidelines on best practices for the treatment of acne patients.

We asked Dr. Bruce Katz, Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Mount Sinai Medical Center and founder/director of Juva Skin & Laser Center in New York, for the lowdown on dealing with grown-up breakouts.

It uses an infrared light source (otherwise known as a laser) to heat the collagen underneath the skin. Collagen is the substance in our skin that keeps us looking youthful.

With technologies continually advancing to provide better results with less discomfort and downtime, cosmetic procedures are increasingly appealing to men.

The Aerolase Neo (Tarrytown, New York, U.S.) can treat tanned or darker skin types (IV-VI) by delivering the necessary laser fluences to the skin in a 650 microsecond pulse duration, thus energy passes through the epidermis so quickly that it does not have time to overheat the epidermal melanocytes, thus avoiding the pigmentary risk associated with most laser systems

The Era represents a new era in skin rejuvenation as a high precision 2940nm laser that delivers high fluence in a unique collimated beam, employing a gentle 300-microsecond pulse duration.

At just 22 pounds, the laser can easily be moved among clinical locations in the back seat of a small car. Also, the machine does not have any warmup time and it can be plugged into any standard electrical outlet, so treatments can be performed in any treatment room.

“Facial rejuvenation is an important component of my practice, and I routinely use my Neo laser for this purpose,” said Edmund Liu, M.D., a facial plastic surgeon practicing in Verona, NJ.

With the new laser technology from Aerolase, the practitioner now has the ability to treat acne in a gentle, sanitary manner with advanced levels of treatment efficacy.

This involves the application of several passes to the facial skin with deep dermal-heating 1064nm energy – using the Neo with 650 Microsecond Technology® – followed by one or more passes with the Era 2940nm for epidermal ablation.

The bulk of the laser energy passes through to the deep targeted skin tissue, avoiding the overheating of epidermal melanin.

The 1064nm laser wavelength is well suited for rosacea, angiomas, telangiectasias because it selectively targets hemoglobin in the affected tissue without damaging the surrounding skin.

The Neo laser, with its innovative 650 Microsecond Technology®, now brings this versatile modality to the field of wound healing. The laser can set at a low-level mode and its unique pulse duration eliminates treatment pain.

As a result, the bulk of the laser energy passes straight through to the targeted deep dermal region with only limited laser energy absorbed in epidermal melanin – thus avoiding the pain and the need for skin cooling that are associated with ultra long-pulse Nd:YAG lasers.

The laser nicely rounds out my offering of facial rejuvenation, which includes the Era laser that I use for skin resurfacing.
