Acne laser is a visible blue light absorption to produce free radicals in the sebaceous gland, which destroys the bacteria on the acne lesions; secondly, yellow light is used to coagulate the feeding blood vessels, improving their healing; and, finally, infrared light is applied to dry the lesions. This treatment process usually results in a 60-65% reduction of papules and pustules.
