AviClear laser treats acne at its source without the need for oral medications. It involved only 3 treatment sessions, it is FDA-approved for the long-term improvement of acne.
AviClear laser is now available in the UK as an alternative to medical treatment for acne. The laser uses a specific wavelength of laser light (1726nm). It targets the sebaceous glands, which is the root of acne, as the sebaceous glands produce oil in the skin that attracts acne bacteria and causes inflammation. This laser destroys overactive sebaceous glands which help reduce acne by decreasing oil production, reducing bacterial overgrowth and addressing inflammation.
The treatment protocol is one laser session (about 30 minutes) every month for only 3 sessions. Occasional patients may need the 4th session for better effects. Results can be apparent after 1-2 sessions, but best results are usually seen in 6-12 months. Studies have shown that the treatment effects last for years and this is why it has been FDA-approved for the long-term clearance of acne.
This laser is a long-term solution for acne without the risks of side effects with oral medications.
As with any procedure, results can vary based on individual skin types and the severity of acne. It’s always a good idea to consult with Dr Nicole and her team to see if Aviclear is suitable for your specific needs.
