What Makes 1726nm Lasers Different
Lasers come in many wavelengths, each tuned to hit specific targets in the skin. The 1726nm laser stands out because it zeros in on sebaceous glands, the small oil-producing factories under your skin that fuel acne breakouts.[1][2][3]
Most acne treatments fight symptoms like bacteria or redness. Blue and red light lasers kill germs or calm swelling. The 1064nm laser gently heats skin to ease inflammation. These help with surface issues but ignore overactive oil glands, which keep pumping out sebum and causing pimples.[1][2]
The 1726nm wavelength changes that. It acts like a magic bullet from the outside in. The light gets absorbed by sebum, turning into heat that shrinks those glands without affecting the rest of your body. No pills or creams needed, and no systemic side effects like those from drugs such as Accutane.[1][2]
Devices like AviClear use this tech. They got FDA clearance for treating mild to severe acne on all skin types. The laser heats glands to just the right point, often with built-in temperature tracking for safety. You might not see instant changes like swelling from hair removal lasers, but over sessions, oil production drops, leading to fewer breakouts.[1][3]
Unlike resurfacing lasers that fix scars by injuring skin layers, or vascular ones that zap blood vessels for redness, 1726nm skips the drama. It does not vaporize tissue or cause long downtime. Skin might feel warm or flushed briefly, but you avoid pinpoint bleeding or weeks of peeling.[2]
This makes 1726nm a game changer for oily skin and active acne. It tackles the root biology, not just the aftermath, offering results that stick around.[2][3]
