Abstract

Background: The 1726 nm Accure™ laser, designed for sebaceous gland modulation, has gained attention in acne and seborrheic dermatitis management. However, no published evidence exists on its safety when applied over tattooed skin.


Case: We describe a 30-year-old female with a black-ink tattoo on the left shoulder who underwent three sessions of Accure 1726 nm laser directly over the tattoo as part of a sebaceous gland study. No changes in tattoo color, texture, or definition were observed, and no adverse reactions occurred. Subsequently, the patient underwent picosecond 755 nm laser sessions for tattoo removal, which proceeded normally with effective pigment fragmentation and clearance.


Clinical Pearl: Unlike conventional pigment-targeting lasers (532, 694, 755, 1064 nm), the 1726 nm wavelength is absorbed by water and sebaceous lipids, not exogenous tattoo pigments.


Conclusion: The Accure 1726 nm laser appears safe to use over tattoos and does not interfere with subsequent tattoo removal. This case represents the first clinical evidence of tattoo–laser compatibility at this wavelength.
