Effectiveness of photopneumatic technology: a descriptive review of the literature

Ali Rajabi-Estarabadi et al. Lasers Med Sci. 2018 Nov.

Abstract

Usage of photopneumatic technology has recently increased for treatment of different skin conditions such as acne, keratosis pilaris (KP), and rosacea. Photopneumatic devices combine gentle negative pressure with broad band pulsed light simultaneously to attack multiple targets in the skin for better treatment outcomes. In this literature review, we evaluate the efficacy of photopneumatic therapy on treatment of acne, keratosis pilaris (KP), and rosacea.

Keywords: Acne; Keratosis pilaris; Photopneumatic; Rosacea.
