Acne Free 1450 nm – Treating Acne at its Source

  Acne Free 1450 is a laser that emits a wavelength of 1450 nanometers (long pulse diode 1450 nm) onto the skin. This wavelength is well absorbed by both oil and water, reducing the activity of the sebaceous glands beneath the skin similarly to oral retinoids or Isotretinoin. This helps to shrink the sebaceous glands, reduce new acne formation, and decrease oily skin.

What is the Mechanism of Acne Formation?

  Acne formation is primarily caused by three factors:

1. Overactive Sebaceous Glands: This leads to excessive oil production, causing oily skin. If oil is not expelled quickly, it accumulates and clogs pores.
2. Abnormal Accumulation of Dead Skin Cells: Excess oil stimulates the production of dead skin cells, which block pore openings, leading to the formation of comedones (pimples).
3. Overgrowth of Cutibacterium acnes: This bacterium feeds on the oil, releasing enzymes that break down oil and produce inflammatory substances, turning comedones into inflamed acne.

  From these factors, it’s clear that overactive sebaceous glands and the oil they produce exacerbate the accumulation of dead skin cells and the growth of C. acnes bacteria.

How Does AcneFree1450 Treat Acne?

  AcneFree1450 emits a 1450 nm wavelength laser that is absorbed well by both water and oil. When the laser is applied, it generates heat in the dermis at a depth of 0.5-1 mm, targeting the sebaceous glands. This causes the glands to shrink and reduce oil production, addressing acne at its source. Additionally, it tightens pores and reduces fine lines.

Does AcneFree1450 Hurt?

  AcneFree1450 does not require anesthesia. During the laser treatment, you will feel a warm sensation in the treated area, with possible increased heat in inflamed acne areas.

Who is AcneFree1450 Suitable For?

  AcneFree1450 is suitable for:

1. Patients with all types of acne who want to clear it quickly and reduce medication usage.
2. Patients with oily skin.

How Does AcneFree1450 Differ from Oral Retinoids or Isotretinoin?

• Oral retinoids or Isotretinoin are highly effective acne treatments that reduce sebaceous gland activity and sebum production, inhibit comedone formation, and accelerate skin cell turnover. Side effects include dry skin, dry lips, dry eyes, elevated liver enzymes, and increased blood lipid levels.
• AcneFree1450 acts similarly to oral retinoids but targets only the treated areas with no systemic side effects.

Do You Need to Take Medication with AcneFree1450?
