Acne is a frustrating and persistent skin condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age. Traditional treatments like topical creams, oral medications, and chemical peels work for some but may not provide lasting results. AviClear™ is an innovative laser treatment designed specifically to target acne at its source, offering a long-term solution for clearer skin.
What is AviClear™ Acne Treatment?
AviClear™ is the first FDA-cleared laser treatment designed to treat mild, moderate, and severe acne by directly targeting the sebaceous glands. These glands produce excess oil, which contributes to breakouts. AviClear™ uses a 1726 nm laser wavelength to selectively target and suppress these glands, reducing oil production and preventing future breakouts.
The AviClear™ Treatment Process: What to Expect Before, During, and After
Before Treatment
Your AviClear™ journey begins with a consultation at Manhattan Aesthetics, where your provider will assess your skin and determine whether AviClear™ is the best option for you. They will review your medical history and current skincare routine to ensure the treatment is suitable for your skin type and concerns. Before your first session, you may be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure and discontinue certain skincare products that could irritate the skin.
During Treatment
The AviClear™ procedure is quick and comfortable, typically lasting about 30 minutes per session. Your provider will cleanse your skin before applying the laser to targeted areas. Many people report a mild warming sensation but little to no discomfort. AviClear™ features an integrated cooling system to keep the skin comfortable throughout the procedure. No numbing cream is required, and there is minimal downtime, making it a convenient treatment even for those with busy schedules.
After Treatment
Following an AviClear™ session, some people may experience mild redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects usually resolve within a few hours to a couple of days. Since the treatment is non-invasive, you can resume your daily activities immediately. Your provider may recommend gentle skincare products and sunscreen to protect your skin as it heals. Results develop over time, as the sebaceous glands gradually reduce oil production and breakouts become less frequent.
How Many AviClear™ Treatments Will I Need?
Most people require a series of three treatments spaced about four weeks apart to achieve optimal results. However, the exact number of sessions may vary depending on the severity of your acne. Since AviClear™ works by targeting the sebaceous glands to reduce oil production, its effects continue to improve over time, delivering long-term acne reduction even after your last session.
What Results Will I See With AviClear™ for Acne?
people often notice a gradual improvement in their skin following their AviClear™ treatments. Breakouts become less frequent, and overall skin clarity improves. Many experience a significant reduction in acne within three to six months after their last session. Because AviClear™ targets the root cause of acne, results are long-lasting, with many people enjoying clearer skin well beyond the treatment period.
