How It Works
AviClear is an FDA-Cleared procedure and energy device developed by Cutera, a leader in innovative, medical esthetic technology. This first-of-its-kind acne laser treatment uses a 1726 nanometer wavelength to target the sebaceous gland, the place where sebum—an oily substance that causes acne—is produced.
The concentrated laser energy treats acne at its source by decreasing the function of the sebaceous gland, ensuring a smaller amount of sebum is produced over time to minimize the possibility of clogged pores and inflammation. AviClear provides a long-term, non-invasive solution to treat facial acne vulgaris for all skin tones.
Each AviClear treatment session takes 15 – 30 minutes and features smart sensor technology (AviCool) that helps keep the skin’s temperature cool and comfortable. Most patients can resume their daily activities right away without any major side effects. It is recommended to receive a minimum of 3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, for superior results.
How Does Acne Form?
Many people experience the consequences of acne in their lifetime, typically as young adults. The American Academy of Dermatology states that acne is the most common skin condition in the U.S., impacting around 50 million people per year.
Acne is formed when follicles or pores underneath the skin become blocked by excess oils, accumulated dead skin cells, or other trapped bacteria. It is often found in areas where more sebaceous glands are located, such as the face, neck, chest, or back. The severity of the acne depends on a variety of factors, such as fluctuating hormones, stress levels, medications, or even your diet.
