How it worksTechnology and manufacturing
How the technology works
A 1726nm wavelength sits at a selective absorption peak for sebum, letting the device heat and downregulate sebaceous glands — the engine of acne — while AviCool sapphire contact cooling protects the epidermis.
Protocol: three ~30-minute full-face sessions a month apart; sebum output drops and inflammatory lesions decline progressively, with published follow-up showing continued improvement one to two years out.
Marketed for mild, moderate, and severe acne vulgaris (FDA status under verification — see our FDA guide) and safe across all Fitzpatrick types — it competes with isotretinoin conversations, not with facials. Head-to-head rival: Accure's 1726nm system with precision thermal monitoring.
Patented technology
AviCool — integrated sapphire skin cooling with temperature sensing — plus Cutera's proprietary 1726nm fiber-laser source; the wavelength selectivity itself is the core IP story.
Origin
Brisbane, California, USA (Cutera).
