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.
