1720 nm laser for sebaceous hyperplasia?

Question

A 2012 study from Scripps found that a "novel 1720 nm laser" was highly effective in treating sebaceous hyperplasia, in that it selectively targeted the sebaceous glands. Is there a clinic or doc that is using this specific laser for multiple SH treatment? Thank you.

Thanks for the great question! I think because this was a study looking at the 1720, that it is not out for consumer use yet. That wavelength laser is considered a non-ablative wavelength. I use a halo laser that has a 1470cm diode which would perform similarly but not exactly the same as the 1720. I'm not sure when that new laser would be released. Best of luck!~Dr. Sieber
