At NOVA Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, innovation is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we are proud to be the first practice in Virginia to offer ACCURE, the revolutionary 1726 nm laser treatment that targets acne at its root – without the burden of long-term medication, harsh side effects, or invasive procedures.
This is more than just new technology. It’s a game-changer for anyone struggling with persistent, treatment-resistant acne.
Why ACCURE Matters
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, affecting up to 85% of people at some point in their lives. For many, it’s more than skin deep – it can affect self-esteem, mental health, and quality of life. Until now, most treatments have been either temporary or come with significant trade-offs: chronic antibiotics, topical regimens, or isotretinoin (Accutane), which requires monthly lab testing and comes with strict iPLEDGE compliance.
ACCURE changes the equation.
Using a precise 1726 nm wavelength, ACCURE targets the overactive sebaceous glands – the root cause of acne – in a non-ablative, non-invasive way. The result? Long-term reduction in acne with minimal downtime. This wavelength was found to be the only one available to target Sebum (skin oil) without negatively affecting the tissues and cells around it.
Why NOVA Is Uniquely Positioned to Deliver This Treatment
As a combined plastic surgery and dermatology practice, our approach is holistic and comprehensive. We don’t just treat active acne – we are also experts in repairing the damage it can leave behind.
At NOVA, patients benefit from:
- Medical dermatology expertise to manage acne with cutting-edge laser technology
- Plastic surgery-level care to treat scarring and skin texture with modalities like microneedling, Genius RF, Ellacor, or laser resurfacing
- Medical-grade skincare regimen to maintain results and prevent future breakouts
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every acne journey is different, and that’s why we design personalized treatment plans that combine active acne clearance with long-term skin restoration.
What to Expect from ACCURE
The ACCURE protocol includes:
- 4 laser treatments spaced 4 weeks apart
- Topical numbing before each session
- No downtime – most patients resume daily activities right after treatment
- Minimal side effects – mild redness or flare-ups in about 18% of patients (compared to 80%+ who experience side effects on Accutane)
This treatment is best suited for teens and adults with moderate to severe acne who want a long-term solution without oral medications.
Innovation Starts Here
We made the decision to bring ACCURE to Virginia because we believe in giving our patients early access to the most advanced technologies available worldwide. It’s part of our ongoing commitment to be a regional center of excellence – not only in aesthetics and surgery, but also in cutting-edge dermatologic care.
If you or someone you love has been stuck in the cycle of prescriptions, flare-ups, and frustration – this is the future of acne treatment, and it’s available now at NOVA.
