James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital Introduces Advanced Accure Laser Treatment for Severe Acne
James A. Haley Veterans’ Hospital (JAHVH) is pleased to announce the addition
of the Accure Laser System to its dermatology services, offering veterans a
cutting-edge, non-drug option for the long-term treatment of mild to severe
inflammatory acne vulgaris. This initiative underscores JAHVH’s commitment to
providing the latest advancements in medical technology to enhance patient
care.
The Accure Laser System, recently cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for long-term acne treatment, utilizes a 1726 nm
wavelength to precisely target and reduce sebaceous gland activity, addressing
one of the root causes of acne. Clinical trials have demonstrated a
significant reduction in inflammatory lesions, with patients experiencing an
average 70% decrease six months after a series of four treatments. Notably,
these results have been consistent across various skin types, with high
patient satisfaction reported.
“Integrating the Accure Laser System into our dermatology clinic represents a
significant advancement in our ability to treat veterans suffering from
persistent acne,” said Dr. Thomas Beachkofsky, Director of the JAHVH
Dermatology Laser Surgery and Cutaneous Rehabilitation Clinic. “This
technology offers a durable, drug-free alternative that aligns with our
mission to provide comprehensive and innovative care to our patients.”
The introduction of this laser system is part of JAHVH’s broader effort to
incorporate state-of-the-art treatments into its dermatological services. The
hospital has a history of embracing advanced technologies, as evidenced by its
collaborations to enhance skin treatment training and its commitment to
providing expert and compassionate care to veterans.
Veterans interested in exploring this new treatment option are encouraged to
consult with their JAHVH dermatology provider to determine if the Accure Laser
System is appropriate for their condition.
