Who Is a Candidate for Aviclear?
Anyone experiencing mild to severe acne can qualify for Aviclear treatments. Aviclear has been designed not to affect the melanin in deeper skin tones. Therefore, Aviclear studies have shown the laser treats light and dark skin colors with equal benefits.
Anybody with acne can respond to the treatment — age is not a factor. This aspect means that a teenage daughter can receive acne treatments while her mom treats a hormonal acne breakout simultaneously.
How Does Aviclear Work?
The Aviclear treatment laser uses light to target acne at the root — eliminating the risk of hyperpigmentation in patients with deeper skin tones. Specifically, Aviclear suppresses the sebaceous glands, which produce the oily substance in the skin called sebum. Excess sebum can clog pores and intensify breakouts.
Aviclear is designed with a revolutionary 1726 nm wavelength that is safe for all skin types. During the treatment, you can feel the Avicool skin and sensory controls that keep your skin safe and at the proper temperature. You may notice a slight snapping sensation as the laser does its work. Overall, it should be a comfortable experience without needing pain mitigation.
Aviclear’s three 30-minute sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart to provide proper healing. These treatments do not require downtime in the office, and you can resume your daily activities immediately after. Doctors recommend putting sunblock on following each session to best protect your skin.
Six months after the treatment, 87% of patients saw at least half of their acne resolve. The results of your treatment may only continue to improve, even several months after the fact.
