What is Isolaz?
The patented Isolaz process combines a gentle vacuum with the power of lasers to eliminate unsightly acne, unwanted facial and body hair and a variety of other skin blemishes. Isolaz delivers results superior to facial peels or face lifts without the pain and risk of harsh chemicals or surgery.
How does Isolaz work?
The Isolaz procedure begins with the Isolaz device being applied to the skin. This device creates calming suction, bringing dirt, harmful bacteria, trapped oils and similar impurities out of the skin and pores. All of these substances, as well as unwanted hair, are drawn into the device's medical-grade laser and destroyed with pulses of light. As a result, blemishes and bumps disappear, undesirable hair is removed and the skin is rejuvenated.
What areas of the body does Isolaz treat?
Because the Isolaz procedure does not require any level of surgery or exposure to toxic chemicals, it is safe to use on any part of the body. The majority of patients prefer to use Isolaz on their torso, legs, arms or face, as these are the primary sites where acne, undesirable hairs, blackheads and damaged skin tend to be located. A medical professional trained to provide Isolaz treatment can advise patients about the use of the device.
What are the advantages of Isolaz over other similar treatments?
The greatest advantage of the Isolaz procedure is the uniqueness of the Isolaz device. Only the Isolaz device pairs a medical-grade laser with gentle suction. Because of this combination, Isolaz can draw impurities from the skin and target them for elimination. Other medical lasers are limited to only clearing the skin at the topmost layer of skin, hindering successful treatment.
Who is a candidate for Isolaz?
Anyone of any race, ethnicity or age can be an excellent candidate for Isolaz. The Isolaz procedure treats nearly every skin conditon and can be customized for any type of skin. Doctors may advise against Isolaz treatment for individuals suffering from chronic cystic or nodular lesions, as the process may not be effective or could cause harm for people with these conditions.
How is the Isolaz performed?
The Isolaz procedure begins by bathing the target area skin with a warm steam mist. This steam treatment opens pores, ensuring that the skin is receptive to the treatment that will be performed. The individual performing the treatment will identify the type of skin that the patient possesses and set the device to a level which best fits that skin type. Once the device is set, it will be applied directly to the skin of the treatment area, which will be pulsed with laser light. Treatment continues until all skin in the target area has been treated.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery from the Isolaz procedure is nearly instantaneous. Some patients report a momentary discomfort immediately following the procedure, but most are free of pain and return immediately to their ordinary schedule. Makeup application or shaving can occur as soon as the Isolaz treatment has concluded.
What will the results be like?
Over the first few days following Isolaz treatment, patients make astounding progress in their skin's appearance and health. The skin is immediately softer and tighter after treatment, and after many treatments the previous skin ailments, including acne and unwanted hair, disappear entirely.
What are the risks?
No known risks exist from the Isolaz procedure, aside from minor discomfort.
Is Isolaz approved for use in the U.S.?
Isolaz has been fully approved for use by the FDA.
Is Isolaz covered by insurance companies?
Although very affordable, Isolaz is generally not covered by insurance.
