Q: What is the Accure Acne Treatment?
A: Accure is a new treatment, utilizing a unique laser wavelength specifically for acne. The treatment safely and effectively denatures the sebaceous gland, reducing the production of sebum (oil). By normalizing the amount of oil produced, the appearance of facial or body acne is significantly improved.
Q: How long will it take to see results?
A: Most patients begin seeing results after their first treatment and see continued results after each treatment. Studies showed an 80% reduction in acne lesions after 4 treatments and sustaining results over time.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: Best results have been seen with 4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
Q: Does Accure hurt?
A: Prior to treatment, the area is numbed. During the treatment, the majority of patients find it to be tolerable.
Q: Is there any downtime?
A: Most patients experience little to no downtime. Your skin might be flushed, red, or puffy after the treatment. This resolves within a couple of days. You might notice a temporary acne flare-up, this is normal. There should be no disruption to your regular schedule and activities.
Q: I’ve tried other treatments (peels, IPL, laser, light therapy) for my acne, but they didn’t work/last? Why would the Accure treatment be different?
A: Peels, IPL, other laser treatments and light therapy are unable to target sebaceous glands. Only the unique wavelength and advanced system functions utilized by the Accure Laser System is proven to safely and effectively target the overactive glands.
Q: How long will results last?
A: Trial patients in our multi-year study show long-lasting results.
Q: How much will it cost?
A: Since every patient’s skin needs are unique, it is best to discuss your individual plan and cost during a consultation.
Q: Will my insurance cover the cost?
A: This treatment is not currently covered by insurance.
Q: Is it safe if I have been in the sun?
A: The unique wavelength used by the Accure system is not attracted to melanin, making this treatment safe for all skin types and skin with recent sun exposure.
