DermaPhi Clear
Featuring the Accure Acne Laser System
DermaPhi Clear is our advanced acne-focused treatment featuring the Accure Acne Laser System, an FDA-cleared 1726 nm laser designed for mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris on the face and body. The treatment selectively targets overactive sebaceous glands to reduce excess oil production while protecting the surrounding skin through controlled energy delivery and real-time temperature monitoring.
Best For
Mild to Severe Inflammatory Acne
Typical Protocol
Four Sessions, Approximately One Month Apart
How the Accure Acne Laser Works
The Accure system uses a precise 1726 nm wavelength that is strongly absorbed by lipids within the sebaceous glands. By delivering controlled thermal energy to these oil-producing structures, the treatment is designed to reduce excess sebum associated with inflammatory acne. Integrated temperature monitoring helps the provider deliver treatment according to the device protocol while minimizing unnecessary heating of surrounding tissue.
Potential Treatment Benefits
Targets a Key Acne Source
Addresses overactive sebaceous glands rather than treating only the visible surface of a breakout.
Non-Systemic Approach
Provides an in-office device option that does not rely on an oral medication circulating throughout the body.
Face and Body Treatment
FDA cleared for inflammatory acne vulgaris on facial and body treatment areas.
Minimal Routine Interruption
Many patients return to normal activities soon after treatment, although temporary redness or swelling may occur.
Common Treatment Areas
The DermaPhi Clear Difference
Acne is rarely one-dimensional. Your DermaPhi plan begins with a detailed evaluation of inflammatory activity, oil production, skin sensitivity, current medications, scarring risk, pigmentation, and lifestyle factors.

Your Treatment Series
Consultation
Your provider reviews acne history, medications, prior treatments, skin type, recent tanning, and treatment suitability.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed and numbing may be used according to the treatment protocol and provider assessment.
Laser Treatment
Individual treatment zones are carefully addressed while the system monitors temperature and guides energy delivery.
Follow-Up
A typical full course includes four sessions approximately one month apart, followed by evaluation of your response.
Recovery and Aftercare
Temporary redness, warmth, swelling, tenderness, or puffiness can occur after treatment. Your recovery plan should follow the instructions provided by your treating professional.
Protect and Calm the Skin
Use gentle skincare and broad-spectrum sunscreen as directed. Avoid picking active lesions, intentional tanning, excessive heat, harsh exfoliation, and unapproved active products until your provider advises that your normal routine may be resumed. Contact the clinic promptly for blistering, increasing pain, marked swelling, drainage, or other unexpected symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Accure FDA approved?
The Accure Acne Laser System is FDA cleared—not FDA approved—for the treatment of mild to severe inflammatory acne vulgaris on the face and body.
Does the treatment hurt?
Numbing may be used before treatment. Patients may feel heat, pressure, or brief discomfort during energy delivery. Sensation varies by treatment area and individual tolerance.
How many treatments are recommended?
The manufacturer describes a complete treatment course as four sessions performed approximately one month apart. Your provider may adjust planning according to clinical evaluation and response.
When will I notice improvement?
Improvement is generally evaluated over the treatment series and during follow-up. Acne can fluctuate, and individual timing and degree of response vary.
Will Accure treat acne scars?
Accure is designed to treat active inflammatory acne, not to resurface established acne scars. Scar treatment may require a separate plan after active acne is better controlled.
Can it replace all acne medication?
Not necessarily. Do not stop prescription acne medication without guidance from the prescribing clinician. Laser treatment may be used alone or within a broader medical acne plan.
Is there downtime?
Many patients experience little interruption to normal activities. Temporary flushing, redness, warmth, tenderness, or puffiness may last for several hours or days.
Can all skin tones be treated?
The manufacturer describes the system as suitable across skin types. A qualified provider must still assess pigment risk, recent tanning, medications, and individual treatment settings.
Who may not be a candidate?
Eligibility may be affected by pregnancy, active infection, open wounds, recent tanning, photosensitizing medications, certain medical conditions, impaired healing, or other device-specific exclusions.
