Acne can be one of the most stubborn and frustrating skin conditions to deal with. An innovative treatment called AviClear might be the solution to your stubborn acne because it is the first FDA-cleared laser treatment to target acne at its source.

With AviClear, we now have the power to target clogged pores, the direct cause of acne. Pores can easily be clogged by dead skin cells, oil, makeup residue, and dirt and this buildup leads to breakouts. At the Center for Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine, we are excited to bring the newest medical technology to our patients and help them achieve glowing, blemish-free skin.

What is AviClear?

AviClear is the first FDA-approved energy device treatment for acne, and it can be used to treat mild, moderate, or severe acne. The procedure uses a 1726nm wavelength laser that targets and suppresses oil glands in the skin. This is a completely non-invasive and minimally painful treatment; most patients have compared the laser to a slight snapping sensation like a rubber band. AviCool sapphire cooling technology will also keep your skin from overheating and protect the surrounding skin from damage. As a result, AviClear is safe and effective treatment for nearly all skin types.

How Does AviClear Work?

AviClear uses laser energy to target the source of acne: sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands are found in the pores of your skin, and they naturally produce sebum oil. Although sebum is beneficial to your skin and keeps it hydrated, the overproduction of sebum mixed with clogged pores is the main cause of acne. AviClear laser treatment regulates the production of sebum to treat and prevent acne more effectively.

AviClear Results

A total of three monthly treatments are recommended for optimal results. After the third treatment, you should begin to see results. In clinical studies, almost 90% of participants saw at least half of their acne cleared within three to four months after treatment. Results will continue to improve for several months after treatment and can be maintained with a good skincare routine.

I have been going to see Dr. Kalimullah and Jennifer since 2017. They have been amazing and have provided the best service and keeping my face looking fresh. Their expertise is incredible and everything they have done for me has been immaculate – never any issues with the laser treatments or injections. They are also really mindful and conservative to ensure I look like me, but just the best version of me. Love this place. Only trust my face to them!

– Ariane

My experience at CDAM was very pleasant. Dr. Cavanaugh and his staff were warm and inviting. He explained the procedure thoroughly and was very gentle, making sure I was comfortable at all times. The medical assistant was nice and explained all the aftercare instructions in detail. My follow up appointment was seamless and efficient as well. I will be returning to CDAM in the future for more aesthetic procedures!
