Acne – Sebacious Glands

Selective Photothermolysis

• Acne is a common chronic skin condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide. A combination of factors play a role: excess sebum production, clogged hair follicles, inflammation, proliferation of bacteria.
• Selective photothermolysis is emerging as a non-invasive option for reducing sebaceous gland activity.
• Lasers deliver controlled heat to the sebaceous glands in the mid-dermis. Thermal damage causes the glands to shrink or be partially destroyed, thus reducing sebum output and acne activity.
• Relevant laser wavelengths are:
  1726nm – the most acne specific wavelength
  1450nm – still good sebum reduction
  1064nm – less specific but versatile beyond acne
• All three wavelengths can be provided by Lumics.
