Gold PTT
Acne treatment that targets overactive sebaceous glands with gold particles and a laser

It is an acne treatment in which gold particles are applied to the skin and a laser is then directed at them, delivering heat to the sebaceous glands inside the pores. The gold particles absorb the laser energy and convert it into heat, which acts on overactive sebaceous glands and the surrounding inflammation. Grays uses it together with the GentleMax Pro laser.

Gold particles have the property of readily absorbing certain laser wavelengths and converting them into heat. Because energy gathers in the gold particles that have entered along the pores to near the sebaceous glands, heat can be concentrated around the sebaceous glands without strongly heating the whole skin.

It is mainly considered when sebum production is high and inflammatory acne keeps recurring. If dead skin is the main cause, as with small closed comedones, or if depressed scars have already formed, we plan other treatments alongside it. Which treatment suits you is decided by looking at the stage of your acne.

It depends on the medication. In particular, if you are taking or have recently taken oral acne medication (isotretinoin type), your skin may be sensitive, so the timing and intensity need to be adjusted. Please tell us about all medications you are taking during your consultation.

You feel warmth or a stinging heat when the laser is applied, and it is mostly performed without numbing. Redness or warmth may linger briefly after treatment, but in most cases you can return to daily life the same day.

It depends on your acne, but it is often received as several sessions in a row, a few weeks apart. At each session, we look at changes in inflammation and sebum production and adjust the next interval and any combined treatments.

It can help with pores caused by sebum production, which is why it is also part of Grays Pore Care. However, pores loosened by reduced elasticity need other treatments such as Pore XERF, and the degree of change varies by individual.

Temporary redness and warmth may occur after treatment, or acne may briefly flare up. Pigmentation may rarely occur, so sun protection is important. If you have wounds in the treatment area, have recently had strong sun exposure, are taking photosensitising medication, or are pregnant, please tell us during your consultation.

The cost varies with the treatment area and number of sessions, so it is confirmed after examination. Non-covered treatment fees can be found on the pricing page of our website.
