Summary of research:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Over the last several years, several light - based systems have been employed for the treatment of vulgaris. The 1, 450 - nm diode laser has been shown to improve Acne, and this has been suggested to be due to effects on sebaceous glands. However, an effect on sebum production has not been demonstrated. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the 1, 450 - nm diode laser indeed reduces sebum production. STUDY DESIGN / MATERIALS AND

outcome of this Research: The number of sebum - producing follicles was reduced by 8. 5 and 16. 7 % at weeks 4 and 6, respectively ( P<0. 05 ). A significant reduction in total collected sebum ( - 18 % ) was observed at week 6.
The report's conclusion: This data suggests that the clinical effectiveness of the 1, 450 - nm diode laser may be based, at least in part, on its effects on sebaceous glands, with subsequent reduction in sebum production.
