AviClear Laser for Acne
The first and only FDA-cleared energy device for the treatment of mild to severe acne.
What Is AviClear
AviClear is the first FDA approved laser designed to treat acne at its source. It is truly unique in this regard. There are no other lasers currently available that are specifically designed to treat acne.
How AviClear Works
Sebaceous glands in the skin produce a substance called sebum. Sebum is an oily substance that helps to form a protective coating for the skin. Overproduction of sebum is one of the leading causes of acne.
The AviClear laser is engineered with a unique light color that selectively targets and suppresses the sebaceous glands. This in turn significantly decreases the production of sebum. It is this blockage of sebum production by the laser that results in the significant improvement of acne following AviClear treatment.
The AviClear laser significantly improves acne over the course of three monthly treatments. Each treatment is about 30 minutes in duration, and there is no downtime after treatment.
What Results Can I Expect With AviClear Treatment
Patients who undergo AviClear treatment almost always experience progressive improvement in their acne after each of the three laser treatments. In addition, after completing the series of three AviClear laser treatments, acne continues to improve for the next six months following the last of the laser treatments.
