Isolaz : Light Therapy + Suction

I am writing this review to encourage those who has stopped isolaz after their first treatment or second treatment to give it more time and keep continuing. However, do not rely on it entirely, get your doctor to prescribe you with retin a, topical antibiotics and oral antibiotics. This is going to get to the root of the problem of ance. You are probably gonna start doubting yourself along the way but just keep going. This might seem like a really long journey but just hang in there. It will be worth it. A few months of suffering for entirely clear for life after that is so worth it. Remember to never stop using retin A if you do use it. Also, it will be great if you could maintain with monthly isolaz even after your skin clears up. In the meanwhile, go for isolaz every 2 weeks till you clear up. In fact, you could speak to your dermatologist about alternating chemical peel and isolaz. As isolaz vacuums out all the debris from your pores while chemical peel is deep exfloliating your skin. the action together makes it very superior and quick to clear up the skin entirely. The only reason i am giving this treatment 4 stars is because i do think it is very expensive. Also, i have tried carbon peel to help deep cleanse my skin but this is really nothing as compared to isolaz.

If you can afford it, I would recommend going for a few consecutive treatments (every week or 2) and once clear going for maintenance treatments (every month or so). Also, make sure you are getting this done by a doctor. I'm sure there are estheticians who do it well however here was my experience: Went to a pricey dermatology practice first. They would steam me for about 10 min. before and then the dr would do the treatment. I never had any redness or bruising. B/c of the expensive price I sought out others and found a spa with a good price on the treatment. This was a mistake. She did steam me before as well, however, had trouble getting the vacuum to stick to my skin and was agressive in trying to make it work correctly. I left with such extreme bruising and looked like I got beat up, literally. It was horrible and it lasted a couple of weeks. This time I searched for a dr. who was cheaper than the first and found one. She doesn't always use steam (though I think it's better if you do), however, she knows how to use the equipment properly. She mists the area before applying the device so that she has no problem w/ it not sticking to my skin properly and I have little or no marks after these sessions. Another bonus is that a dr. can perform extractions properly. I believe the goal is really to find out internally why we get acne and address that if we can, however, if you can afford it, find a good dr. and go regularly. If you are experiencing any more than the lightest of bruising which goes away in a day or so, than don't go back to that place as they are probably not doing it correctly. I bruise easily and these are my observations. Hope this helps!
