AviClear is one of the many treatments available at our practice, helping patients achieve clearer, healthier skin.
What Causes Acne?
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, creating an environment where bacteria can thrive. Hormonal changes, stress, and certain skincare products often contribute to these blockages. As the bacteria multiply, inflammation occurs, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and other blemishes that affect your skin’s texture.
What Is AviClear?
Our AviClear laser offers a non-invasive solution for those struggling with persistent acne. This laser treatment targets the sebaceous glands, which produce the oil that contributes to clogged pores. By focusing on the root cause of acne, AviClear provides a new approach to achieving clearer skin without the harsh side effects often associated with other treatments.
How Does AviClear Treat Acne?
To effectively manage acne, AviClear uses laser energy to precisely target and reduce the activity of the sebaceous glands. The decreased oil production helps prevent future breakouts and gives your skin a chance to heal. AviClear is able to target these glands without harming the surface of your skin.
What Are the Benefits of AviClear?
- Non-Invasive Yet Effective: One benefit of AviClear is its ability to treat acne without surgical procedures or harsh chemicals. It is a gentle but powerful option for managing breakouts.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Whether your skin is oily, dry, or a combination of both, AviClear Laser adapts to your unique skin type. This versatility ensures that anyone struggling with acne can benefit from this treatment. It can also treat a variety of skin tones, from light to dark.
- Quick Treatment Sessions: AviClear Laser treatments are efficient, taking only about 30 minutes per session.
- Minimal Downtime and Recovery: AviClear allows you to return to your normal activities almost immediately.
- Long-Lasting Results: By targeting the source of acne, AviClear not only treats current breakouts but also helps prevent future ones. This approach provides long-lasting results and helps you maintain clearer skin over time.
What Types of Acne Can AviClear Treat?
AviClear acne treatments are versatile enough to address a wide range of acne types. It treats inflammatory acne, which includes painful red pimples and pustules. The treatment also works on non-inflammatory acne, such as blackheads and whiteheads. Even for those with persistent cystic acne, AviClear offers a solution that can help manage and diminish deep, painful breakouts over time.
Why Patients Are Choosing AviClear
Patients are increasingly opting for laser acne treatment with AviClear because it offers a way to reduce reliance on oral medications that may come with unwanted side effects. Oral treatments, while effective, can sometimes lead to systemic issues that some patients prefer to avoid. Topical medications often cause dryness or irritation and leave the skin feeling uncomfortable. While these treatments may still be necessary for certain cases, AviClear provides an alternative that directly targets the root cause of acne, offering a gentler, more focused approach.
What to Expect During Your AviClear Appointment
Assessing Your Skin and Acne Type
Before starting your AviClear laser treatment, we’ll take time to evaluate your skin and determine the type of acne you’re experiencing. This assessment helps us tailor the treatment to you and make sure the laser treats the areas most affected by acne, whether you’re dealing with inflamed pimples or persistent blackheads.
Preparing Your Skin for Treatment
To get the most out of your acne treatment, we’ll guide you through the steps to prepare your skin before the session begins. This might include gently cleansing the skin to remove any makeup, oil, or debris that could interfere with the laser’s effectiveness. We’ll ensure that your skin is in the best condition to respond to the treatment.
The AviClear Treatment Process
During your AviClear laser treatment, you may feel a mild snapping or tingling sensation as the laser targets the sebaceous glands beneath your skin. To ensure your comfort throughout the session, the treatment features AviCool™ technology, which cools the skin as the laser works. This also protects your skin from being damaged by the laser.
Your Guide to Post-Treatment Care for Your Skin
After your AviClear session, we’ll provide detailed instructions on how to care for your skin immediately following the treatment. This includes gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and avoiding direct sun exposure to protect your skin as it heals. We’ll also discuss strategies for preventing future breakouts, such as maintaining a consistent skincare routine, changing pillowcases often, and using non-comedogenic products. Continuing to care for your skin daily can help you enjoy longer-lasting results.
