Strata Skin Sciences announces poster presentation on photopneumatic therapy

STRATA Skin Sciences announced a poster titled "Advancement of Personalized Photopneumatic Therapy for Rapid, Visible Improvement In Patients Mild to Moderate Acne" was accepted at the ODAC Dermatology, Aesthetic & Surgical Conference held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida from January 12-15. The objective of the clinical assessments was to evaluate, via photographs, changes in visible acne lesions and skin texture after a series of tailored photopneumatic therapy (PPT) treatments delivered to patients with mild-moderate acne. Patients were recruited from two clinical sites in the United States, which included 10 male and female patients aged 14-55 years with inflammatory, comedonal and pustular lesions on the face. Patients were eligible to receive 4-6 in office photopneumatic treatments 1-2 weeks apart for 15 minutes per treatment. The duration of the treatments were tailored to each patient’s skin type, severity of acne and type of acne lesions. Results from this study include: All patients experienced a visible reduction in comedones, pustules and inflammatory facial acne lesions; Redness reduction and improvement in skin texture, pore size, and perilesional erythema were observed in treatment area; Most patients responded with 2-3 treatments; An adult female patient with persistent perioral acne experienced complete clearance; Adverse effects were infrequent and limited to mild erythema, mild bruising, superficial erosions and temporary changes in pigmentation
