Considering Isolaz acne treatment for my face but wondering if it works OK on men...
Isolaz is a device which utilizes a unique PPX™ vacuum technology and light to unclog the oil glands and destroy acne-causing bacteria in the skin. Isolaz™ treatment combines a gentle vacuum with therapeutic broadband light to improve acne lesions and help with pores. The vacuum gently lifts the acne impurities closer to the skin's surface, which helps loosen and extract blackheads, dirt, debris, dead cells and excess oil from deep within your pores. The broadband light destroys the acne causing bacteria, sloughing the dead skin cells and oils away. Additionally, it reduces pore size appearance, and improves skin tone and texture. Anyone with acne, male or female, is potentially a candidate for Isolaz treatments. Results are usually seen even after the first or second treatment, although a series is usually necessary for optimal improvement.

What is the cost of this laser treatment?
Different offices and physicians will charge differently for the same treatment. From what I know, most offices charge between $200 and $400 per treatment. We charge per treatment and we also have package prices which include one free treatment. I have been very pleased with the results for my acne patients and find that the patients feel it is money well spent. I recommend you consult with a board-certified dermatologist and that you have the treatments done in a physician's office under the care of a physician.

My 19yr old son has severe acne and scarring. He used Accutane 4 yrs ago with good results but you'd never know it now. How permanent is the Isolaz therapy, and does it cause any effect on the ability to grow facial hair in men? Would it be better to do a second round of Accutane?
Isolaz treatments for acne should not interfere with hair growth in the treated areas. Isolaz is a combination of a a therapeutic broadband light and a gentle vacuum (suction) which together work to rid the skin of acne. The vacuum gently lifts the acne impurities closer to the skin's surface, which helps loosen and extract blackheads, dirt, debris, dead cells and excess oil from deep within your pores. The broadband light destroys the acne causing bacteria, sloughing the dead skin cells and oils away. Additionally, it reduces pore size appearance, and improves skin tone and texture. Isolaz is an entirely different type of light therapy than laser hair removal lasers, which typically target pigment in hair follicles.
