PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL
PPx Therapy is a breakthrough aesthetic treatment that uses a revolutionary combination of pneumatic energy and broadband light. PPx treatments are swift and painless and are clinically proven to be safe and highly effective for the removal of unwanted hair for both dark and fair hair types.
HOW IS UNWANTED HAIR REMOVED?
The designated treatment area is gently 'drawn' into the hygienic treatment tip of the PPx system hand piece This "pulling" up motion brings all the unwanted hair closer to the surface of the skin. Light energy, when gently applied to the hair, is converted to heat energy and absorbed by the hair, quickly, painlessly and effectively to destroy the hair follicle.
HOW ARE PPX TREATMENTS FOR HAIR REMOVAL DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LASER AND LIGHT BASED HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENTS AVAILABLE?
PPx therapy is the first and only therapy to effectively combine pneumatic energy (pressure) with broadband light. PPx therapy differs from other laser and light based treatments in that it is five times more efficient in the delivery of energy to unwanted hair. This highly efficient delivery of energy allows PPx therapy to use a fraction of the energy that other treatments require, making treatments very gentle, yet exceptionally effective, even on dark or fair skin types.
HOW DOES PPX THERAPY WORK?
HOW IS PPX THERAPY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LASER AND LIGHT BASED HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENTS AVAILABLE?
PPx therapy's patented process combines the unique properties of therapeutic light with pressure to bring you a breakthrough method for the treatment of unwanted hair, uneven pigment and unwanted veins.
PPx therapy is the first and only therapy to effectively combine pneumatic energy (pressure) with broadband light. PPx therapy differs from other laser and light based treatments in that they are five times more efficient in the delivery of energy to undesirable pigmentation marks, veins and unwanted hair. This highly efficient delivery of energy allows PPx therapy to use a fraction of the energy that other treatments require. PPx therapy is painless because energy is concentrated into the target area, whilst protecting the surrounding normal skin tissue. This also makes PPx therapy safer than other popular treatment techniques.

A gentle 'pulling' motion lifts a small amount of the treatment area into the specially designed hygienic treatment tip of the hand piece. The targeted hair follicles, pigmentation marks and unsightly veins are lifted and brought closer to the skin's surface. When therapeutic light is applied, the light is converted to a gentle heat energy which is absorbed by the target areas. The energy applied is concentrated in the target to be destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal skin tissue. Skin is then instantly returned to its normal position and the hand piece is moved onto the next treatment area. The process is repeated until the entire treatment area is covered.
PPX THERAPY: UP TO 5 TIMES SAFER
PPx therapy is a revolutionary skin treatment that was designed with the complete safety and comfort of the client in mind. PPx therapy is up to five times more efficient in the delivery of energy to the targeted treatment area. This highly efficient delivery of energy allows PPx therapy to use a fraction of the energy that other treatments require, making PPx therapy safer than other treatment modalities.
As the above graph indicates, when compared to other treatment technologies, PPx therapy uses lower overall energies. Energy is concentrated in the target to be destroyed, protecting the surrounding normal tissue. As a result, PPx therapy is associated with no pain and is up to 5 times safer than traditional laser treatment methods.
FAST AND PAIN FREE RESULTS
Treatments are fast, relaxing and painless. Based on the results of initial clinical studies, PPx treatments do not incur the usual side effects such as the redness, crusting or other usual post treatment discomforts widely associated with laser treatments. PPx treatments do not require pre-treatments with topical anesthetics or cooling gels, additionally reducing treatment time by a further 35 - 45 minutes. Photopneumatic therapy is very fast - 4 to 7 times faster than other laser or light based technologies. Below is a comparison of typical treatment durations for commonly requested treatment areas.

BEFORE THE TREATMENT
Before treatment begins, your Otto Clinic consultant will apply a soothing mist to your skin to increase surface hydration.
DURING TREATMENT
The hand piece will be placed on the area to be treated and the appropriate settings will be selected; based on your skin type (the amount of melanin in your skin) and the body part being treated. You will feel a gentle and warm sensation as your skin is drawn into the treatment tip. In less than a second, mild light energy will be applied and you will feel your skin being gently released back into normal position. Your Otto Clinic consultant will then move on to the next treatment area and repeat the process over the entire treatment area. In a recent clinical study, 100% of patients reported no pain during treatment and the treatment sensation was most commonly described as being similar to that of a warm massage.
POST TREATMENT
There are no post-treatment regimens associated with PPx Therapy, so once the treatment is completed, clients are free to resume normal daily activities.
