What is Capri Laser (1450nm)?
Capri is a 1450 nm diode laser that shrinks sebaceous glands. It is the main laser for oily, acne-prone skin and is included in most of Mio's acne packages.
Who is it for?
People with active acne, excess oil, blackheads and closed comedones, especially on the T-zone, chin and back.
How does it work?
The 1450 nm wavelength is absorbed by water in the sebaceous glands, heating and shrinking them while the surface is cooled. Oil production drops within 1–2 weeks and acne calms over a course.
