Selective Photothermolysis of Sebaceous Follicles with
Topically Delivered Light-Absorbing Gold Microparticles
Gold PTT, also known as Gold Nano-shell mediated Photothermal Therapy (PTT) is an FDA-approved treatment that uses specially-treated gold nanoparticles to convert energy from a laser into thermal, or heat energy, which is then used to target and treat overactive oil glands in the skin.
Gold nanoparticles have a high photothermal conversion efficiency, yet able to achieve excellent results with no side effects. The heating process modifies sebaceous glands, decreasing the activity level of oil production. This treatment deactivates the overactive sebaceous glands without harming the surrounding tissues.

How does Gold PTT work?
Gold PTT uses photothermal therapy, which is a type of light therapy that utilizes lasers to penetrate deeper into the skin than other treatments and is also gentler on the skin.
Gold nanoparticles, designed to stick to the hair follicles and sebaceous glands, are applied to the skin. The nanoparticles are then delivered into the hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the face through sonophoresis.
From that point, a specialized laser is used to stimulate the gold nanoparticles in the sebaceous glands, which heats the glands without damaging the surrounding tissues. The heat permanently reduces the glands’ ability to secrete sebum. The heat also kills acne bacteria in the follicles.
Key Treatment Benefits
Reduction of oil production in the skin
Cleansing of the sebaceous follicles
Treats overactive sebum glands
Deeply cleanses and purifies the skin
Reduction in pore size
Clears up clogged pores
Reduces bacteria that causes red spots
Prevent development of new red spots
Provides new, healthy and clear skin
