What is AviClear?
Technology: AviClear is the world’s first FDA-approved laser device for treating mild, moderate, and severe acne.
Mechanism: It uses a 1726-nanometer wavelength laser to selectively target and shrink sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, reducing oil production which is a primary cause of acne.

Treatment Process
Preparation: Skin is degreased with acetone and kept hydrated with wet gauze pads during the procedure.
Procedure: The laser is applied to the skin, with sessions lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Patients typically require three treatments spaced three to four weeks apart.
Comfort: Most patients find the procedure tolerable, with a pain score of 3 to 5 out of 10, and no need for numbing cream.
Patient Suitability
Who Can Benefit: Suitable for individuals with mild to severe acne, those who cannot take oral medications, and women experiencing hormonal acne related to menopause, pregnancy, or egg freezing treatments.
