Accure Laser in Seoul

Accure Laser explained

Accure is an acne laser that uses the 1726nm wavelength, which is absorbed well by the oil (sebum) in sebaceous glands. It is designed for mild to severe inflammatory acne. It is newer than most acne lasers, so long-term data are still being collected.

How Accure Laser works

The 1726nm light is absorbed more by fat-rich sebum than by water, so it can heat the sebaceous glands while sparing much of the surrounding skin. The device uses built-in temperature monitoring and cooling to control the heat. Damaging the glands reduces oil output, which lowers the conditions that cause acne.
