AviClear® is the first FDA-cleared laser energy device designed for the treatment of mild to severe acne vulgaris. This new acne treatment option has been shown to improve existing acne for clearer skin, while making future breakouts shorter, less intense, and less frequent.
Excess sebum (an oily substance) can collect dead skin cells and debris, forming a sticky plug that clogs pores. This gives rise to all types of blemishes, including blackheads and whiteheads. Bacteria living in the sebaceous glands feed on this excess sebum, which can inflame pores to the point of rupture and create acne pustules, papules, nodules, and cysts.
AviClear® works by selectively targeting and heating the skin’s sebaceous glands with a 1726-nanometer wavelength laser, to destroy the glands’ sebum production.
The AviClear® laser is precise to the point that the laser energy damages the sebaceous glands only, while sparing surrounding structures. It also has a built-in cooling function to lower the skin’s temperature and make the treatment more tolerable. This special cooling function also allows for all skin tones to be treated, without worrying about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
The standard protocol involves three monthly AviClear® treatment sessions, but your treatment plan will depend on the severity of your acne and your skin type. Each 30-minute treatment session comes with little to no downtime.
