What is acne?

Sebaceous glands are intricately connected to each hair follicle and serve a vital role in maintaining skin health. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance that acts as a natural lubricant and protector for both the hair and skin. During puberty, hormonal changes, specifically the increase in androgens, stimulate the enlargement of the skin’s sebaceous glands. While sebum is essential, an excess production can lead to pore blockages. This excess sebum combines with dead skin cells and the presence of bacteria (C. Acnes), ultimately causing eruptions on the skin’s surface. These obstructions manifest as common acne-related issues, including blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, and various types of pimples, affecting the clarity and smoothness of the skin.

How it works

The primary objective of this treatment is to precisely target and address the sebaceous glands without inflicting any thermal harm on the neighboring tissues. Through the use of a 1726 nm wavelength, the treatment can selectively downregulate the sebaceous gland while preserving the integrity of other anatomical structures. Specifically, this wavelength safeguards the sebublasts, which form the outer wall of the sebaceous gland, ensuring their protection, while effectively damaging the sebocytes within. This meticulous approach allows for the effective treatment of the sebaceous glands responsible for acne without causing harm to the surrounding tissue, resulting in a safe and efficient therapeutic experience.
