AviClear is an FDA-cleared laser acne treatment that targets and reduces overactive oil glands, helping to treat acne at its source without the need for medications.
What Causes Acne?
Acne occurs when the follicles under the skin become clogged. The sebaceous gland, located along the hair follicle, produces oil and delivers it to the skin. However, overproduction of oil clogs pores, leading to breakouts on the face, chest, back, and shoulders.
Acne is the most common skin condition, affecting 742 million people worldwide each year, and approximately 50 million in the United States. At Commonwealth Plastic Surgery, we now offer the first FDA-approved device to treat mild, moderate, and even severe acne.
How Does AviClear Work?
AviClear is a laser acne treatment that targets oil glands. The laser heats the sebaceous gland, located deep within the skin, causing it to permanently or significantly reduce its production of excess oil while preserving the surrounding tissue. AviClear is specifically designed to target the sebaceous glands under the skin.
How Long Is the AviClear Procedure?
AviClear is a quick 30-minute procedure. It requires three treatments, scheduled one month apart, with no downtime.
Does AviClear Really Work to Reduce Acne?
Clinical studies have shown that 87% of patients experience improvement in half of their pimples within the first three months of AviClear treatment, and 93% see improvement in deep acne nodules at six months post-treatment—the most challenging form of acne to treat. We offer an acne treatment that avoids the side effects of long-term antibiotics, hormone regulators, or Accutane. It is safe and effective for all skin types and severities of acne—mild, moderate, and severe.
