AviClear™

To understand how AviClear™ works, it’s important to understand how breakouts happen. Acne forms when sebum, the oily substance on the skin, combines with dead skin cells and clogs pores. This revolutionary laser treatment uses a 1726nm wavelength to treat acne at the source by selectively targeting and down regulating the sebaceous glands. AviClear is equipped with exclusive AviCool sapphire skin cooling and sensory controls that maintain the skin’s temperature during treatment for a more comfortable experience. After an AviClear treatment, patients will produce less oil, resulting in a long-term improvement in their acne condition.

Planning your Treatment

After meeting with a trained AviClear technician and receiving approval for the treatment, it is recommended to avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for two weeks prior to the treatment. It is also advised to refrain from using skin irritants or products containing retinoids or alpha-hydroxy acids for at least 24 hours before the treatment.

During the Treatment

The AviClear Acne Laser Treatment delivers laser energy to the affected areas of your skin. AviClear is equipped with Exclusive AviCool™ sapphire skin cooling and sensory controls to ensure a comfortable treatment experience. You may experience a light snapping sensation on your skin. The treatment is short, typically lasting 30 minutes.

After the Treatment

You may experience some redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, which should subside within a few hours to a few days. It is crucial to protect your skin from the sun for at least a week after the treatment. You should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and avoid direct sunlight. We recommend a total of 3 sessions one month apart to achieve the desired results.

What really causes acne?

When your body produces excess sebum, the oils on your skin, it mixes with your dead skin cells and clogs your pores. Bacteria often gets trapped in the clogged pores and triggers inflammation, causing red and pus-filled pimples.

AviClear works differently

AviClear is the only laser treatment that delivers long-lasting results for all severities of acne in all skin types. The AviClear treatment utilizes unique technology that targets the root cause of sebum. Following the treatment, there is a reduction in oil production, resulting in an improvement in acne condition.
