ACCUTONING
1450nm Laser for Acne Skin
Description
ACCUTONING is a 1450 nm diode laser specifically calibrated to target water in sebaceous glands, delivering selective photothermal energy directly to the gland without ablating the overlying epidermis. At 1450 nm, water absorption is high enough to heat sebaceous tissue to 45–50 °C, causing thermal injury to the gland and reducing sebum output — the primary driver of inflammatory acne vulgaris. Clinical studies show 40–75% reduction in inflammatory lesion count after a 3–5 session course, with minimal downtime compared with ablative resurfacing.
Indication
Intended for professional protocols designed for inflammatory and acne-prone facial skin, performed by trained operators within established procedures.
Packaging
Supplied as a 1450 nm laser equipment unit with professional handpiece.
Protocol
Apply topical anaesthetic cream 30–45 minutes pre-treatment. Remove anaesthetic and cleanse the face with a mild cleanser. Apply cooling gel and attach the 1450 nm handpiece. Select the fluence (typically 10–14 J/cm²) and pulse duration per skin phototype (Fitzpatrick I–IV). Deliver pulses in a systematic grid across the acne-prone zones; use a cryogen spray or dynamic cooling device (DCD) to protect the epidermis between pulses. Perform 3–5 sessions at 3–4 week intervals; combine with topical retinoids or antibiotics for optimal outcome.
