• Gold PTT, also known as Gold Nano-shell mediated Photothermal Therapy (PTT) is an FDA-approved treatment that uses specially-treated gold nanoparticles to convert energy from a laser into thermal, or heat energy, which is then used to target and treat overactive oil glands in the skin.

• Gold nanoparticles, designed to stick to the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, are applied to the skin. The nanoparticles are then delivered into the hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the face through LDM ultrasound device.

• For the next step, Gentlemax Pro laser is used to stimulate the gold nanoparticles in the sebaceous glands, which heats the glands without damaging the surrounding tissues. The heat permanently reduces the glands’ ability to secrete sebum. The heat also kills acne bacteria in the follicles.
