Aviclear Acne Removal Laser Treatment

AviClear is designed to reduce activity in the sebaceous glands and therefore reduces sebum production. Patients with acne and excessive oil production may notice less oiliness as treatment progresses.

AviClear targets oil producing sebaceous glands rather than the hormonal trigger itself. Because excess sebum contributes to inflammatory acne, it may still help patients whose breakouts have a hormonal component, but it does not treat an underlying hormonal imbalance.

Yes, it is common. Many patients experience a temporary acne flare-up or "purge" after their first or second session as the skin pushes out trapped impurities.

The standard protocol is strictly 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

They work very differently. Accutane is an oral prescription medication that affects sebaceous glands throughout the body, while AviClear is a localized laser treatment targeting sebaceous glands in the treated area. Aviclear is an option to patients who want to avoid systemic medication or its potential side effects.

The AviClear system’s laser treats acne at the source by selectively targeting and suppressing the sebaceous gland safely and effectively.

Each acne treatment session should take about 30 minutes.

Most patients will need 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart to start seeing results.

During treatment, you may notice a slight snapping sensation. Our patients report a pain level of 3-5 out of 10, depending on the size and depth of the pimples. As a result, our patients have not needed any pain mitigation for treatments. AviClear also uses a skin cooling system the maintains your skin’s temperature during treatment for a more comfortable experience.

Patients see the best results about 4-12 weeks after the final treatment session. In fact, in clinical trials 80% of patients saw at least half their Acne clear during this time.
