What Is Accure® Laser Acne Treatment?
Accure® is the FDA-cleared 1726 nm laser specifically designed to treat inflammatory acne by selectively targeting sebaceous glands.
These glands produce sebum (oil), which plays a major role in acne development. When oil production is excessive, pores become clogged, leading to inflammation and breakouts.
Unlike topical creams that work only on the skin’s surface or medications that affect the entire body, Accure® precisely treats the sebaceous glands beneath the skin while preserving surrounding tissue.
How Does Accure® Treat Acne?
Acne develops from several factors, including:
Excess oil production
Clogged pores
Inflammation
Acne-causing bacteria
Accure® focuses on reducing excessive oil production by delivering precise laser energy to sebaceous glands.
Over time, treated glands produce less oil, creating an environment that is less likely to develop acne.
Because the treatment addresses one of acne’s root causes, many patients experience fewer breakouts and clearer skin over time.
