Platinum PTT
PTT Platinum Laser Treatment is a treatment method that selectively and rapidly destroys the sebaceous glands, the cause of acne, and proceeds with treatment using pure “platinum”.
Platinum is made very fine with a size of 140 nm and uses ultrasonic waves to penetrate to the end of the sebaceous gland inside the skin, causing thermal damage to a local area.
It targets and destroys only the problematic sebaceous glands, treats inflammatory acne, shrinks pores, and even regenerates the skin.
It also contains hyaluronic acid, which provides moisture to the skin and protects the skin texture. Platinum PTT is a hypoallergenic treatment, so you can safely receive various types of acne or sensitive skin and return to your daily life immediately.
One week for the PTT treatment and the next week for acne skin care is one set.
