Acne is the most common skin disease affecting up to 50 million people a year in the United States. Acne can occur during any stage of life, not just during your adolescent years. Many people who deal with acne understand how difficult it is to seek safe, effective treatment options that do not come with a laundry list of side effects. Fortunately, breakthrough advancements in technology have provided patients with a long-term and effective solution to treat acne at the source.
AviClear is the first laser of its kind to offer a prescription-free solution for mild to severe acne with minimal downtime or side effects. This laser provides long-term results compared to other acne treatments like chemical peels, medical facials, and topical creams. These treatment alternatives provide temporary improvement meaning once treatment ends, acne will rebound. With AviClear, the future of clear skin is here!
AviClear is the only acne treatment of its kind that is safe and effective for all skin types! This light-based laser offers a drug-free solution for mild to severe acne. Due to AviClear’s revolutionary wavelength, this treatment targets acne at the source by damaging the sebaceous glands thus reducing active acne.
Acne occurs when there is an overproduction of sebum, the oily substance in our pores, in the sebaceous glands. When a combination of sebum, dead skin cells, and debris are trapped beneath the surface of the skin the result is an active breakout. AviClear selectively targets the sebocytes and suppresses the sebaceous glands to reduce active acne. In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear treatments.
Compared to other laser treatments, AviClear provides a relatively comfortable experience that is well-tolerated by most patients. It has been described as a slight snapping sensation. AviClear is equipped with a unique cooling feature that provides unmatched contact cooling capability, that maintains the skin’s temperature during treatment for a more comfortable experience.
Unlike other acne treatments, like Isotretinoin, AviClear has minimal downtime and side effects. Isotretinoin side effects include birth defects, nosebleeds, chapped lips, dry skin, inflammation of the eyes, and changes in behavior. With AviClear, you may notice slight redness or a mild acne purge post-treatment which is normal and expected. Otherwise, you can resume your day-to-day routine without significant side effects.
AviClear is a 3 treatment protocol spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Other acne treatments like Isotretinoin require a 4 to 6 month commitment and additional courses if acne reoccurs. In clinical trials, 80% of patients treated with AviClear saw a minimum of 50% improvement in their acne in the first 3 months following their last treatment. Results are individually based, and some patients might need additional treatments in the future.
